The only proviso is that the life of the LED's is shortened considerably. An acceptable tradeoff, in my eyesespecially in light of the increased light intensity. Another argument for pulsing the light, I bet. At a 50% duty cycle you can double the intensity of the light produced without overheating the LED's. That aside from the purported benefits of the rapid rise time and frequency effects. I've got a flashlight I modified to mount an array of 7 high intensity red LED's. I'd like to squeeze a 555 timer in there to turn 'em on and off at various frequencies. Be well, Mike D.

CSFw: layman's LED device
- Original Message - From: Acmeair To: Acmeair Sent: Thursday, August 14, 2003 11:36 AM Subject: layman's LED device Re: CSOT:ASSEMBLY INSTR. FOR LAYMAN'S LED DEVICEcontinued Part#2 a.. From: Brooks Bradley (view other messages by this author) b.. Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2003 19:22:11 Mr. Bradley,I finally finished the soldering and placement of the resistor, switch, and battery pack. Was quite surprised at the amount of dimming accomplished by the resistor over a full 3 volts from the battery pack. Am getting 1.55 volts to the finished system. I will deliver this unit to my son this weekend, for treatment of his carpal tunnel syndrome. I've been using the device on my left hip socket, that has been aching a little after sleeping on my side. I did two 5-minute doses,and noticed quite an improvement. This morning was the fourth day of use, and I will say that I can sleep thru the night, and not have any pains in the hip socket. I hope that this LED array is as effective on the carpal tunnel syndrome. Will post the results after a week or two of use. Is a five minute exposure, twice a day, adequate? Thanks again, Mr. Bradley. Your help is extremely appreciated. Jim Dear Jim, The placement is not critical. However, the preferred placement is, usually, with about 1/2 of the bulb extending above the reference surface. I apologize for not addressing this portion of your inquiry...in my earlier response.

Dear Jim, One thing I failed to relate in my original postings was that one can use the full 3 volt potential on the assembly. The only proviso is that the life of the LED's is shortened considerably. An acceptable trade=off, in my eyesespecially in light of the increased light intensity. Additionally, the results are greatly acceleratedor at least that has been our experience. This was most pronounced in our later carpel tunnel evaluations. Sincerely, Brooks Bradley.

Re: CSFw: layman's LED device
Mr. Bradley, thanks for the update. I'll now order the LED's and also the solderless connectors, and build another, to give to the kid. I'd like to have a unit here, just for small aches and pains, etc. but won't care about the light intensity. Do you think, maybe, an 1/2 k resistor would provide enough light source, or should I leave the resistor out of the loop? What would the best sequence be, with the full 3 volt unit, 3 min., or 5 min, and how many times a day. just don't want to over treat.
