240V-> 110V transformer - lighter with inverter techn?

These are 30 mA LEDs, by the way, they are physically rather large.

The voltage may get to 14 volts, if I believe my voltmeter in the truck, it gets to about 14.3 volts or so. (going by memory).

All well within the specs of the limiting resistor.

The "brilliant" projects he's presenting speak for themselves. Or did you miss his electrical powered bicycle recently?

Not if he calls me a liar when in fact he is one.

The best way is with a constant current 'diode' of the rated current. Otherwise, a biased FET - same but the CC is laser trimmed in the FAB. Then no over or under current that might limit seeing or the life.

Gunner, consider trying slrn or other text based newsreader under linux. The nice thing about them is that you can read news from your machine while connecting remotely, over a bandwidth friendly text connection.

I have a somewhat messy killfile situation myself, as I read news from home and from my laptop, and the killfile on the laptop is not in sync.

Im on dialup at home, shared DSL via wireless router at my RV in LA.

Ive tried all the various Linux newsreaders. Still far and away prefer Agent. So its Wine or nothing

But thanks
