New Product: Lightmite TB Trackball Lighting Module **They're Here...**
whammoed:
I've been promising these for a while and finally they are here. I will be getting pricing together and putting them on the website this week.
In the second pic, the board on the left shows a high flux led installed. This will be the type available from me. They are great...plenty of light and VERY even lighting (not to mention less soldering ;) ). The one on the right shows the 4 led configuration also possible, for those do it yourselfers that already have some leds laying around.
More info to follow!

Hmm I was really excited about the 4 LED solution because my current one LED light projects a noticeable beam though the trackball and is not dispersed well. The video you showed a while back of the cluster looked PERFECT however. Does the 'high flux' LED have a wider beam to avoid this narrow beaming behavior I have? Any chances of posting a picture of the lit trackball with the single LED? Thx!
PS, I hope the mounting foot is included!

The single high flux led throws a wider beam than the 4 individuals put together. PCB foot will be included. If the high flux wasn't better than the four singles I would be offering the 4 singles as well. I will be using the high flux leds on my own projects for sure.
thanks!

Awesome, just what I wanted to hear!
One other question, are they going to be offered in various LED colors, or just white?
Please let us know when it's ready to be purchased. I'll be the first in line to buy. 8)

I have a few red and blue leds in stock now. I will also be ordering green most likely. I believe those are the common translucent trackball colors. Customers who would like a color besides those three will likely need to order the kit without led and supply their own led's.
I will probably have the website ready in a day or so...
