That's what I heard at least.

Maybe someone could make a diagram or something like that with the best geometry of the 3 LED's and how to figure out the propper dimension. I think that would be something for the FAQ's.

I plan on using brass tubing, bending it and running the wires through it which should turn out far neater a sturdier than many of the ones i have seen.

Then I encase it all in a 3/16ths inch Heatshrink - that I don't shrink. I posted pics http://forum.free-track.net/index.php?showtopic=466&message=5571 there.
