Ask your wife, I’m sure she’ll have an answer that will be very definitive. 
Best leave that one alone. The wife hears all though I am standing on her head where I am now.
Imagine the light show BLF members could put on there.
OP updated (at the bottom). 14.8.15.
Edit. Whoops. I've updated the fifth post. Heres a link.
Still following the build ! :-)
It must be wonderful to have such able dogs helping you with the hard work!
Looking good :beer:
Looking great as always.

Wow. They lit up and kept on going. Now all I need is some sort of driver. I'm open to suggestions if anyone can help. This should work with 3 batteries in series with a buck driver. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Yes, you right. I remember reading some of your driver threads when I first joined BLF. So I'm sure you knew you're right. Regarding driver suggestions. RMM knows his driver stuff and I'm sure he will set you up with what he is sending to you. I think he has a couple bucks he designed that are up for the job. I really need to revisit those threads. I don't remember the diameter you are limited to. Other than his stuff, the 26mm HX-1175b1 seems to be a good candidate, but it won't have nice modes without swapping the MCU.
Thanks for the confidence vote ImA4Wheelr but my electronic knowledge is sadly lacking. I admire the likes of yourself and others the way you build and manipulate drivers to suit your needs. Ive left the leds hooked up together until the driver comes in to test it on the bench before I get to carried away.
This is the driver I have coming which will be run from 3 batteries in series at a maximum current of 5 amps.

Without hassling RMM yet does anyone know if this driver can be controlled with an electronic switch?
About the sacked assistants helping with the hard work, I dont know about that, them creating work, I do know about.
Looks terrible. You should finish it and send it to me for re calibration. Or just fold some foil over a shim and slip that in the gap.
Cheeky bugger. I wish there was maybe half a thou more tolerance everywhere. I may try and sand blast it to knock of the micro high spots of the machining to make it unassembler without destroying the reflectors.
It does look terrible though as it has marks in the finish all over it from deburring down inside.
So what , half a thou is maybe all of 5 ten thou’s? How many thee’s is that?
Update 23.8.15 in post five at the bottom..
Nicely progressing.
Maybe you'd like to borrow Jack next weekend?
Thanks for the kind offer but I believe Jack would only want to play with Lucy and Jack. Probably fetch the ball where lucy thinks its chase the ball and chew it up.
Oh man, bummer about the bezel :(
At least you have two assistants to blame - there's only so much I can lay on Jack....
:beer:
Phooey, million dollar body and a ten cent brain(recycle value only).
I did sketched the bezel on a piece of paper and missed that one important piece of information. I'll blame the sacked assistants for distracting me even though they were nowhere in sight.
Yeah, I have lots of copper and brass parts that are missing small bits of information too. I try to lay out my builds so that I can fudge things along until I know what the heck I’m doing but sometimes awareness comes too late.
