Ok, so silly mistake with the transistors sorted, well spotted!
I have bridged R2 with C1, whatever the value this should slow the turn on/off of the lights right?
C2 is on the LED power source, so the LEDs will drain this for power when turned off.
So in this case would 100uF for C1 be ok? I have no idea about C2's value.
Also rather than a dpdt switch I am using jumpers, I wont be changing mode when it is on, and i will probably stay with BAR mode unless the drain is a big issue.
How is it looking?
Chemelec, if you still have it bread boarded would this solution work?
As for the 20k resistor I can source it from the same place, might get 2 months for the to get it though :-( (along with all the other resistor values!)
2 months might give me the time to finish my PhD and not get distracted by electrical projects!
