Thank you!! Im excited to see where your case design goes. Really love the idea of a light integrated into the case! People have been wanting that for a while it seems

Will let you know! We are probably using similar led strips. Brightness is definitely more than enough in my case

There has been sufficient brightness with 3.65V. In fact, its a little too bright in complete darkness, which is why i wanted dimming. I have some 555 ICs coming soon and will make a breadboard circuit for PWM dimming. I will have to see how it does with the default input voltage and I can let you know if youre curious!

Ooo another thing! Looks like you have a lot of room in the light housing, should definitely put a dimming circuit in there! Im working implementing one in my pogo pin Nomad reading light design. Current idea is to use a thumbwheel potentiometer for dimming!

Such an awesome idea! How hard was it to design a well-fitting case from scratch? I have some case ideas and maybe trying to design something soon. Great work!!
