Please help! Thickness of MikeDeuce's LED button discs?

<< < (4/5) > >>

Anubis_au:
Question: is the NovaGem buttons on offer thru GGG a Happ translucent (with the LED, resistor etc) or is it a different manufacturer of button altogether?

99.99% certain, but I couldn't find anywhere where it explicitly states they are Happs.

Happ distributes them, but they are in fact produced by Industrias Lorenzo.  ALL of this style of translucent colored buttons you see being sold are IL.  We modify them with very special LEDs that have about 5x the output of a standard superbright LED,  and attach the proper resistors and wiring for 5v operation.

Nobody has asked this, but I'll bring it up in case there are any misconceptions.  The "ButtonBlaster" LEDs at the GGG site are not the same as the lights used in the NovaGems.  Superbright LEDs (or ButtonBlasters) are bright, but don't approach the output of the light source in the NovaGems.

Could you offer the Nova LED separately as well?  I bet that they would be a better option in lighting up the standard buttons.

TTFN :cheers:

I'll start working on some designs and either add them to the NovaGem options list or as a separate item (or both.)

Hi RandyT,

How are you coming along with the disc inserts? Are you still going to be offering these with (and/ or without) the Novagems? I'm still interested in acquiring some when you are ready for production.

RandyT:

Soryy for the delay.

Yes, I have just been pressed for time lately.  I promise to get a selection up in the next couple of days.  Making an order page with all of the designs is going to be a pain :P
