I'm thinking that a small CPU cooling fan would do the trick and the best part is, I don't have to run it at full speed. I could add a resistor in series with the fan to keep the noise down.

Assume that I'll only allow a 36F (20C) rise in heat, the calculation would be: 1.76 x 1.5 Watts / 20C = 0.132 CFM of air flow. That comes to 0.99 gallons of air every minute or 3.7 liters of air every minute. That's about 2 oz of air per second or 62 ml of air per second. So not a lot of air need to move across the heatsink.
... Now if only SpyTec would stock the wide angle lens version ...
