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

Love the rainbow tailcaps and trimmer adjustment. I’ll definitely be in for 2 of those.

I’d be ok with a spring to solder so I’ll have a look, thanks.

Rainbow would be perfect for my colored S41S

Why doesn’t it work, do you know?
Lexel:
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 efficient
Gen 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)???

Positive wire gets to the tube contact
negative gets to the spring
replace washer with board and just connect to to both switch connections

I will soon offer ILC-1 kit without brass ring at significantly lower price than assembled ILC-1, top and bottom pcbs have 16.5mm diameter , so such "ringless" ILC-1 should fit in more lights (brass ring is not really necessary, but without it switch and top pcb should be glued to prevent twisting).
Aah, that makes sense why the brass ring is there
pinkpanda3310:
I guess it could be made to fit as it is close. Diameter is the problem, I think it would fit nicely otherwise. However, myself, I’m not willing to file down the switch nor open up the threads in the tail.
I can’t see the images
That’s how I see them
Try again…
Did it work?
If not - it’s just a pic of some measuring calipers in the tail cap and on the switch. ID of tail cap = 18.05mm OD of switch = 18.19mm
How’s do you get to the spring when the board the switch is mounted on, is between it?

I see you didn't remove kapton tape from brass ring?

both contacts are on the switch
Doh! Good eyes led4. Without the tape it measures 18.08mm. I guess I could force it but since I don’t want the switch in that light I’m still not going to …
Depending on the machining it might well fit in other E14’s / S41’s :question:
