I know that there is a ton of information out there. I have tried to read what I could to do my do dillagence, but I have not been able to find what information I was looking for.
I am really enjoying all the cool discussion of these high lumen lights and the ability of some of the MODDers out there to put some awsome stuff in such small packages!
I was not able to find or understand why it was not possible to get more lights with the capability to have variable brightness? Or to find out which lights I can get variable brightness? I thought this would make a much more versital light for me. Something I can dial down the brightness as needed but I can get 100% brightness when I need it in a small package.
Is the only way to get this kind of control in a custom light with some kind of PIC controller and with some kind of booster/buck circut?
I am expecting that the control of the light capability is something like the LionHeart and soon LionCub. But are these the only lights out there with this kind of control? I guess I am really looking for a 25%, 50% and 100% or so, but I don't really see that. I usually see small and 100% or large and 2 stage switches that click on low -- click off -- click on high -- click off -- repeat... Any one help here?
I know there is a PIC open source project going on, but is this going to be the only source for variable control the way I am looking for?
The open source project has the use of a magnet as a way to get the light into programming mode instead of adding access to an extra switch. This is really cool I think.
