Any thoughts on using a 555 as a pulse width modulator to drive a LED
from a 12 volt source? I am presently using a 7806 and a resister but
that ends up drawing about as many amps as an incandescent light.



That last one from Singapore is rated at 8A....It oughta dim the whole LED
suite in the boat!

How cool....as she gets "in the mood"....you lay your hand back behind the
settee and slowly dim all the lights almost imperceptably to match her
increasing excitement.

Yeah....I can see a great use for such a dimmer....(c;]



Hmmm. Need to dim the lights? Got sumting you don't want her to see?
