[Swansea Hackspace] ok wont be in.

[Emyr Morris]

look at this Ian

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/New-LM2596-Buck-Regulator-Module-DC-DC-Step-Down-Adjustable-CC-CV-LED-Driver-/251510322961?pt=UK_BOI_Electrical_Test_Measurement_Equipment_ET&hash=item3a8f2ef711

it has adjustable current o/p so perfect for controlling a LED, you could
take off the potentiometer that controls the current and bring it out to
the surface of your enclosure to a pot with a nice big knob on it ;-)

oops!
