So much time spent on a little bugger it's worth the it however...
There's the parts standing proudly waiting to be deployed.
100uf Tantalum certainly an overkill, 22uf is more than enough. The coppersink is insulated in the middle with marker pen /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif. Then a layer of themalpaste is added. The metal u-shape is the battery contact.
@#$@ /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon23.gif I just can't picture stuff under warm color light. They just screw up.
Whitelightning without flash. Much better! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif Half assembled, testing, testing.
The famous zetex circuit design from Mercator's Zetex LS Driver & MiniMag Conversion Information Page too bad it's down now /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif.
Finally finished after many tired nights /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif, covered in epoxy.
Farkle free! All scraped off! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif
Notice the sense resistor wire lurking around.
On the left is my superwhite ARCLSH and the right is the Solitaire LS.
The reflector in the Solitaire collects the spill from the HD and focus it nicely. Notice the wide flood created by the reflector. The Solitaire Luxeon is fed with a current of 130ma and runs for 2hours straight without dimming on a 700mAh NiMH AAA battery.
You have to believe this... I salute LED mods As Small As Possible for his mass production!

It's a tough job to put them together. However, if you need more info, I will be glad to post. The inductor is a b!*ch!
