Hi all,

Haven't started the experiments yet, but I have new information that
might change things.

It turns out that all I will need to control for this version are a
bank of up to 3 Superflux LEDs. Total draw, under 0.2A (generously,
I'm looking to run them closer to 150mA, and I'd guess even that will
be too bright).

I am also having some spacing issues jamming the TO-220 packages into
the enclosure.

Remember when I said the board already had provision for a transistor
on it? Well, I found this part:
http://www.digikey.ca/product-detail/en/SSM3K333R,LF/SSM3K333RLFCT-ND/35223=
91
(a Toshiba SSM3K333R) in SO23 that would match the footprint already
on the board. I'd have to scab on a pull up resistor, but that
wouldn't be too bad. Gate resistor already has a footprint.

Any thoughts? It sets me back a bit as I'll have to wait until Tuesday
to get the parts, but might be worth it given how much time I've been
staring at the enclosure trying to figure out to squeeze things in
there in a way that isn't horrible.

A common mistake that people make when trying to design something
completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete
fools.
