If you had an easy (& inexpensive) source, which type would you buy? The taller ones, or the shorter ones.
Also, would there be any interest in this type of button that could be easily mounted in a wood CP?
I'd prefer the taller ones - these are the ones that I remember. Easy woodmounting would be nice - of course I could do the lexan-trick also, but I really'd prefer if they just fit like any other buttons I have.
And by all means, please forget about 12V-LED's. Just make them with the normal 2V-leds - there isn't a thing like a 12V-LED, they just've integrated a resistor somewhere to fit this voltage.
Most commonly you would drive them with your I-Pac to get flashing startbuttons, so you need +5V, or what I'd prefer, you get the LED's without the resistor (=2V) and can choose the resistor you need for yourself.
I'd hate to buy them if they need 12V!
By the way, I wonder if the silvercones would fit my black volcano buttons? Somehow I really like them!
