Peter; Knowing that Dave Fredericksen wanted one also, I will speak for him and take both.

I have just about enough parts (minus the batteries and one knob) to make two lamps. I thought I'd build a couple more, but haven't gotten around to it. So, I'd be willing to sell a couple of lamp kits for $20 each, including the sacrificial lamp. To see the design, visit Andrew Cooper's website: http://www.siowl.com/atm/redlamp/redlamp.html <http://www.siowl.com/> It's easy to build, given that you possess the ability to read a simple schematic diagram and can do some basic soldering. Included in the kit: 1 - desk lamp 4 - super ultrabright red LEDs (that's what they're called) 1 - LM317 voltage regulator 1 - 100uF 35v capacitor 2 - 1N4001 diodes 1 - 1k potentiometer 1 - knob (only one kit will have the knob) 1 - 10 ohm ¼ watt resistor 1 - 220 ohm ¼ watt resistor 1 - 560 ohm ¼ watt resistor 1 - small perfboard 1 - DC power jack You supply the power source of your choice. The kit will allow you to construct a 12-volt DC, 120-volt AC or combo lamp. I built mine as 12-volt only, since I only use it at star parties. For power I use a 5-Ah gel cell that cost about $20 and lasts around 100 hours at max brightness (a level never actually used) between recharges. Peter
