Thanks a lot. I have been looking around at home-made lights and wondered what a "buckpuck" was as it was mentioned in some forums. I thought of using a guitar pot. switch but figured it probably would be the wrong sensitivity, and cheap ones are staticky. Great find. How do you feel about the LEDs with no reflector on them? Looks like it works ok, though. Good job.
