The LEDs blink in a (LOOP) cycle of sorts: 4 times at the same time, then they look like they're going an upward direction 4 or 5 times, then back and forth 4 times, then in a downward direction 4 or 5 times, then loops back to the begining, blinking at the same time.

They really arn't that bright. At a certain angle they appear to be brighter.( the angle of the picture in a low level of light) Bright enough to see in a lighted room or in day light. The flashes are faster than I would prefer, but untill a circut is available this will work great.

Hey BB, that was an unanswered question I had for you. What size LEDs were you wanting to use ... 3mm or 5mm?

Thanks,

Rapier wit? This is the end of the twentieth century! I'm using a laser sighted under-and-over twin barrelled wit, with a 7.62 mm floating breech pulse rifle firing caseless one-liners on top, and a 40mm explosive gag launcher underneath. For backup I've got a 14mm pump shotgun firing flechette rounds with 10 barbed comments in each, which can also shoot sabot ego-piercing rounds. Of course when all else fails, there's always the trusty flamethrower which I've strapped to my pulse rifle with duct tape in the approved style.

I should clarify that the holes for LED’s drimmeld out with a small ball tip from the inside out after a very small hole was drilled with a drimmel. Only the tips (about 4mm) of the lights show through the faceplate.

I have extra tilt switches.
2 switches for $5.00 + shipping.
I have 3 sets left.

Paypal OK.

TK0000, can you show me a good pic of your switch? Is it a small metal switch or is it glass like you would see in a thermostat?

The ones I bought look like small light bulbs - glass. I figure it would have to be glass or plastic.

They are the small glass bulb type. They almost look like an LED. You can see it in the pics right next to the LED's. If you want a couple let me know.
