Refining the VBC

A little more work to combine the VBC unit & the XP-G LE.
Makes a nice single unit, however I feel the VCB unit will be better placed in the tail of the torch.
This will be the next stage of prototyping.

Variable Brightness Wee.

Well Jay R your pretty much figured it out. The small component on the left enables twistable variable brightness. From off to infinitely variable to high. The VBC (Variable Brightness Component or Control) could be thought of in a similar way to a potentiometer, however it is a far simpilar & less mechanical than that.
All to be said at this stage is its thanks to Quantum Tunneling!
How Techy is that! Wee VBC with Quantum Physics.
Video here: Wee VBC.

Made some tiny Wee Bits

Some good time spent working with the new XP-G LED from Cree.
Working prototype of a XP-G Light Engine designed to drop into the Wee.
Output is impressive, not going to commit to lumens out the front just now as the current Wee reflector is best suited to the XR-E. A new reflector will be designed to capture as many tightly packed lumens as possible utilising the Wee form.
Anybody guess what the small unit is on the left? Video on route.
