G'day all,
This is my first post on this forum, but I've been lurking here for a while.
I am building another prototype bike light and I have struck a problem.
I'm using 3 Seoul stars and a 3023 model buckpuck with dimmable control.
The problem is that when I put a resistor across the CTL and REF leads I'm not getting any light at all. (With the CTL and REF disconnected I get full power).
The resistors I'm using are:
200ohm
470ohm
90ohm
0.5w 1% mini.
These are little blue resistors, but Gilbo's are brown if that makes any difference ?

I want to dim the LED's at the same percentage rates as Gilbo's instead of using pot's and switches.
What am I doing wrong ?
Thanks for reading.
Here's a link to my other prototype:
