Fooking DIY dimmer


Recommended Posts

:laugh:

 

It's not often I'm caught out, being honest. But JG made a booboo today :icon_redface:

 

A lifetime ago, or however long freepost takes to get from China to Ireland I ordered some of these:

The idea being to strip out the circuit board and have the dimmer control sticking out the back of my scope mounted Striker.

 

 

They arrived this morning, I duly set about butchering my Striker this afternoon, carefully taking photos along the way to do up a nice post about it.

 

 

All was going well, couple of important mistakes made and noted for the post

:thumbs:

 

 

Until I set about putting the circuit board into the barrel behind the bulb housing.....

 

 

It doesn't

:censored: :censored: :censored: fit ! :laugh:

 

 

Oh well.......................

 

I'll take another look at it tonight but it ain't looking such a good idea now :laugh: Just as well I've moved on to torches!

Ah well, nothing ventured, nothing gained. I might look around for a water tight box smaller than the one it came in. I could doctor that up and stick it to the back of the lamp, maybe :laugh:

 

I've a pigeon magnet speed controller here as well, that might fit :hmm:
