Yes, there is the little circuit board you can see he http://home.maine.rr.com/rlma/MOB.htm If you put the voltage directly to it, it is steady. I think it was probably defective before I started tinkering with it. I forgot before I posted that I hadn't tested it as it came out of the box. I just determined that one board handles two LED's so I'm just wiring them up in series. That will actually be better. The other way would have provided some redundancy but the light wouldn't really have appeared to flash but just change intensity. This will be much clearer. The LED's are very bright but the beam is focused. I'm going to aim them both up the pole, one on each side, for 360 degree coverage. The side lobe will be plenty bright on a dark night and the focused beams should shine on the white shaft and up to the flag making the while thing quite recognizable and visible. How will you make it waterproof? -- Stephen ------- For any proposition there is always some sufficiently narrow interpretation of its terms, such that it turns out true, and some sufficiently wide interpretation such that it turns out false...concept stretching will refute *any* statement, and will leave no true statement whatsoever. -- Imre Lakatos |
