I have been experimenting with the super high brightness Luxeon white LEDs.
I had hoped to be able to flash on/off a couple of the Luxeon 1 stars
behind a lens but there is an obvious "settling in" after the LED's are
powered up.
What I mean is an initial surge of brightness (that you can see)....followed
by a somewhat dimmer consistent light....all in a matter of a few
seconds....it would be rather annoying if they were flashed, I imagine.
Perhaps ALL led's operate this way and because these are the high bright
white variety I can finally SEE it?
The power supply is constant current and more than ample....I did have about
470uf capacitance before the regulator that I took out but little
difference.
Maybe I could do something to create a "soft start" something?
Thanks for any comments.
