Any thoughts on using a 555 as a pulse width modulator to drive a
LED from a 12 volt source? I am presently using a 7806 and a
resister but that ends up drawing about as many amps as an
incandescent light.



That last one from Singapore is rated at 8A....It oughta dim the
whole LED suite in the boat!

How cool....as she gets "in the mood"....you lay your hand back
behind the settee and slowly dim all the lights almost imperceptably
to match her increasing excitement.

Yeah....I can see a great use for such a dimmer....(c;]



Hmmm. Need to dim the lights? Got sumting you don't want her to see?

......or LACK something for her to see....hee hee....

The BEAST!
