Are you anywhere near Holliday, TX? I have family there, and my uncle goes to OKC quite a bit.

This is insane! You really took it into your own hands to create things that work for you.
I'm also trying to fashion a similar one out of a spolt 45A head. I'm still stuck though: I havent figured out how to wire the timer into the setup.
From what i've figured out:

- if the timer connects to the 110V-in of the DC-power supply, there is significant delay from the moment 110V-in (from timer) is off till the LED actually goes off (for me it's abt 2-3s), which is bad

So I guess you somehow connect the timer to the Buckdrive V+ & V-. but these are 12V (or 24V depending on the LED used). I went through your instruction pdf times & times again without being able to find the clue on the wiring arrangement. Please kindly enlighten me. Thanks
