Yep, that's what I did.  Even with just one LED it shines through the TB and on the ceiling.  Also, it does not uniformly light the TB like this one does.  The dimmer is a stroke of genuis (I didn't even know LEDs could be dimmed like this lol).  I'll definitely be getting one in green when available.

Well I've used LED cannons before with good results.  I had two single LED cannons, and I pointed them across the trackball on opposite sides of the trackball casing (if that makes sense).  They worked just fine for me, although I agree they were a bit bright for my tastes, but the angle I had them on avoided the ceiling light show.

But I don't have any more, so by the time I buy some online or pay through the nose for them in stores, I can just get one of these.. a much better solution IMO. :)

Whammoed,

What's the timeline on these?  Also, the resistors that I would need would be 68 ohms 1/8 watt.  Do you have any of those?  Also, is this a parallel circuit.  I've got about 19 leds in parralel and I would like to end the circuit with this product, would that work?

This is such a great idea man.
