What an incredible tutorial! I have the 1200 mA version of the new round driver in a couple of P4 stunt sabers and they work beautifully, but I am not sure how well they would work for this application. There is also the problem of finding the right relay. So let me ask a different kind of question. Does anybody know the tolerance of the RGB that is being replaced by the LedEngin RGBA? Specifically; would it perhaps be possible to put a fourth battery in the choke tube and use it exclusively for providing phantom power to the original optic, even if additional resistance would have to be added downstream to keep the increased current from reaching the 616? I suppose a rotary DIP could be worked into the configuration if so. It would not have as many colors, or static shimmer, or flash on clash; but it might be an easier conversion, if the original RGB optic will actually tolerate the increased current. What do you think?
