    Hello? FourSevens Are You Out There?

    Do we know that "High Mode" is gone for good? The jump from 28 to 336 lumens seems too abrupt for me. I must admit it will take a lot to displace my original Titanium Quark!

    Looking for SS P60 host (18650 and 2 CR123) or plastic? Needs to be reliable but!

    AC driver dimming solution?!?!

    Dimming with the prewired pot goes down to about 20% (visual estimate) before shutting off. The AC adapter is from an IBM Thinkpad 16 volts 3.36 amps. Doesn't get warm at all.

    AC driver dimming solution?!?!

    I made a lamp with 8 Cree XREs 2 X 4 parallel drive from a surplus 16V laptop AC adapter with a buckpuck with integrated dimmer. This was the cheapest solution I could think of using UL listed components. I am nervous using cheap DX class AC components. Works great.
