I get that bit, I think (1 to the spring, 1 to the outer ring/body contact) but how does it fit in, what leds do you use, where to get them , also the same with balance resistors (the same as a normal resistor?) and what are ‘trimmers’?. All to much for me and my non electrical brain I’m afraid.
I would much rather pay someone else to do all that. Roughly how much does all the bits cost?
I would be interested too if someone could supply some. The one lexel posted would be ideal, but alternate blue and purple.
I have tried many times to solder small components like that, and I just can not.
But nobody is apparently interested in making any to sell…
Sure Lexel would sell some, he sells drivers.
As kiriba-ru mentioned , led4power sells Illuminated Tailcap Switches from his web page :
https://led4power.com/product/ilc-0-illuminated-tailcap-switch-module/
There is some more info in his thread :
I am selling those tail boards
Requires figuring out what resistor(s), and soldering. Looking for turn-key.
I also have ILC-1, which is more expensive version, but it's drop-in module and easy to install,it fits Convoy lights,I'm don't know if it fits S41.
By default there is only one color to choose, but if you want two different colors that is possible since ILC-1 has two separated channels with constant current drive.
I just tried it in my manker E14 (same as S41) and it does not fit.
I think what people who are suggesting links are not understanding is that we want to buy a fully assembled one, ready to go - nothing to do to it.
Thank you for your help though.
The ILC-0 tailcap switch led4power sells you “only” have to solder the spring.
If soldering isn’t your thing maybe you could ask him to do it for you.
I am close to finish my new line of tail switch boards in Rainbow and 2x4LED cross pattern
They got both brightness control with a voltage regulator and 2 trimmers for each channel to set them as bright as you desire
You can choose from 12 different colors, it is also possible to use more than 2 colors on the cross pattern boards, as each LED has its own resistor
I will start the sales topic when I have time
Nice I’ll be waitinf
Love the rainbow tailcaps and trimmer adjustment. I’ll definitely be in for 2 of those.
Yep I’m in the queue too! :+1: That rainbow one is fantastic, so is the other lol.
I’d be ok with a spring to solder so I’ll have a look, thanks.
I will set up my sales topic in the next few days
Rainbow would be perfect for my colored S41S
Why doesn’t it work, do you know?
I use boards that replace the washer, so they are way more effective than on the switch board
any color combination you want
green and blue based phosphor LEDs(white, pink, ice blue) are most efficientGen one with balance resistors and trimmers 2x3 LEDs
6 LED
8 LED rainbow
Gen. 2 version has a voltage regulator and trimmers for brightness adjustment
the v2 cross pattern for trimmers are ordered
Ok…Sooo…Those weren’t turnkey so where are the lead wires supposed to be soldered to (which I’ll have to have someone else solder)???
