Yay it light up. Very nice and well done mate! It looks simple but elegant and finesse compare to a toggle switch which I find a bit industrial imo.  I don’t mind a toggle switch if Im firing a rocket  |

Last time I made a template by sticking pieces of card together around the socket. Worked well. Oooh, I like that idea.. I won't have time to get that bit done today, as I'm at work shortly, but I'll be addressing it tomorrow. I will try that. In other news... The Traffo is now anchored down but I haven't got any bolts long enough for the terminal strip... They are now ordered.   I was in two minds about keeping it. In the end, it just went in the bin after I finished. Might make another and use it to make a plastic one. Have a plastic Ferrero chocolate box and keep thinking it could be used for something. |

But it was actually easier to make the template. |

Nearly there.... Just the wiring for the umbilical cord, DC to the LED via Alan, and the mains to the Traffo and this puppy is finished. It looks rather menacing I think!   |

No point hanging around, so I'll box it up tomorrow and get it ready for postage. See, I said it would be in your system by Friday 😉 |

That's minimum impedance, but cool. I'll send you two pairs. 1x 20ohm 1x 100ohm Just return the pair you don't want. Seems like the best plan lol |

My guess is it will be best with the 100 ohm.
Looking the dog's.

I'll box this badboy up later today and get it out the door. Looks tasty doesn't it. Just ordered a Push button switch for myself lol |

All boxed up and ready to go... unfortunately, looks like Wednesday before UPS can collect as I'm now in a meeting tomorrow and the gaffer is out for the day.
Sorry Jayson.
