I've been off on other full time projects for the last six months or so and haven't had time to keep up with CPF. But it's great to have your feedback. The LT2 (and a bigger brother) are alive and well. Thanks Ken!
What you're looking for are called "tip jacks". Mouser.com has a variety - both PCB and panel mount styles. Go to their site and look at page 863 of their catalog (figures R thru Y specifically). DigiKey carries them too but Mouser has no minimum order.
I've only shipped U bins. I don't have the T bins yet. I'm supposed to receive them tomorrow. Yes, you and everyone else have been shipped U bins.

Sorry guys - all the U bins are gone. I placed a new order with Nichia hoping to get more U bins (Nichia won't guarantee bin when you order) but I just found out they're shipping me T bins this time :awman:. I'll gladly make these available at $.75 each, 10 piece minimum with shipping included...
Hi justDIY,
I'll soon be introducing a new driver which is a hybrid constant current/PWM. It supplies regulated current limited pulses to the LEDs. You adjust the brightness by varying the duty cycle of the pulses with an on-board (or external) pot. The amplitude of the pulses can be set from...

Yes Josh, payment received and LEDs shipped. I have a list at the end of the first post in this thread which I keep updated with member's order status.

PayPal has sent me a notification of a pending payment from you. I expect the funds will show up in my account in a day or two. Since we're such a trustworthy bunch here at CPF :buddies:, your items shipped on...

Yes, they're still available.
Nichia specs at 20 mA:
V bin = 22000-31000 mcd
U bin = 15500-22000 mcd
T bin = 11000-15500 mcd
V bin is almost impossible to get. C0 tint is slightly blue. B tint is more blue.

Thanks Kenski. I'll try to get that out today depending on how bad the post office looks :touche:.

So there are 10 2-ohm resistors in the circuit (one per LED). Are there any other resistors on the board or in the light? If you remove the batteries can you measure the resistance between the positive battery contact and any of the 2 ohm resistors?
