Dan, 1) Is are you using hot melt in your pictures here? Is the buckpuck OK with dual temperature hot melt? 2) About how long is your lamp to buckpuck line? Is 36" ok? Thanks

Hi Dan, I followed your instructions. I found that the soldering was bit of a night mare, everything seemed so small on the buck puck. I have checked it and it lights OK but the smaller switches seems to have no effect on the intensity of the light so I wonder what happened. Will the circuit work if the smaller switches are not working or the resistors are not working? What size solder wire and what kind of a soldering iron did you use? Your work seems very neat and professionally done and I would be interested as to how you did this, your tip to put a blob of solder on the switch leads was very helpful but I was a bit mystified as to how to put a blob of slder on the upright pins on the buckpuck. Thanks for your help John
