RE: [ADVERT] Very high intensity blue leds.

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for that - I'm still planning on drawing a few sketches over the
nex=
t couple of days. I'm currently thinking that two versions would be needed
=
- one that will simply deck or patio mount and is a simple fixed surround.
=
The other would act more as a tiltable light fixture so that I can direct
t=
he light into bushes, trees and shine it up walls etc.

The controller does indeed use PWM chips. Have a look at the controller
her=
e:

http://www.dvarchive.org/RGBLED/

We're doing a bulk buy of the circuit board and components. Unfortunately
t=
his is now closed to new orders but the circuit diagram, parts list and
PIC=
code is freely available from Gerry's site above :)

The idea is to have fully controllable lighting of any colour and
animation=
of the colours and intensity :) I'll be linking this up to my HA system so=
that I can have a waterproof remote in the spa and set whatever patterns a=
nd colours I like - should be groovy! ;)

Paul.
