The Chameleon

I thought the emitter looked kinda plain so I cut a shroud out of some leftover bits I had lying around. Check it out:

Very nice work. Really like the look of it and the color change is just cool.

Wow!

Great Job on the Chameleon! Looks amazing!

You have outdone yourself.  Nice work!

Cool, that's awesome. What do you use for a lens and lens holder, just like the normal luxeon one? Or do you need something special?
Edit: Also, what size resistor, hehehe... I really want something like that....hehehehehe

[Rion Ozryel]

I just used the normal 5 degree lens and holder from TCSS. The resistor was a 3w 250 ohm resistor.  ;)

shroud looks cool love the color change ability

[Darksaber 3]

ok, cool. If you don't mind me asking, where'd you get that switch? And is there any chance of a wiring diagram?
Edit: Oh, would say, cyan work, instead of light blue, if one wanted? Just curious.

[Rion Ozryel]

I got the switch here: http://www.allelectronics.com/make-a-store/item/RS-143/BCD-PUSHBUTTON-ROTARY-SWITCH/-/1.html

Because it's a push button switch you're pretty limited with the color blends it gives you. You can start resisting colors but that will affect all the blends that use that color. For instance, I resistored the red to get the purple but it also affected the orange. Instead of orange I got yellow. So if you resistor the blue to make the green brighter for the cyan, you are also messing with the purple. But it all depends on what you want. There are other rotary switches out there that make blending a lot more customizable.

Hmmm... I wonder if there is a switch out there that you just spin, and as you spin it, the colors change... That would be cool, just to rotate it, and as you do, the colors change and stuff.

if I ever get my hands on one of those LED's and switches, would you be willing to give me some advice on wiring it up?
