Richard:

Without the FET, the leds would not last long, when I said "bright"--that
was an understatement...

Richard, I have to get some work done here, your exchange is fun and
interesting today--but work demands I take time to get it done (I am turning
off notification of messages--I am weak and tempted easily)--I do enjoy your
comments which are though provoking... be back later and we will continue...
grin

Warmest regards,
John
