[GrizHFMinimill] Re: Ring light measurements

One of the customers on the dealextreme.com vendor site for the LED rings seems to have turned down the extra plastic on the interior rings to get three in the space of two:

Look up the "T10 Angel Eye" in the search and pick the 90mm one to see other photos of what they did and how they wired the rings. Very nice.

Also, if you believe the reviewer comments...
Someone tested the current draws.
70mm ring: 100mA.
90mm ring (same LED count as the 80mm): 130mA.

Festoon is rated by the vendor at .28 watts or a little less than 250mA at 12V.
