I have some comments after building one of these yesterday. First, the parts seemed smaller than typical. Maybe I am just getting old but the resisters were small! Second, as mentioned in various posts, although the parts, manual, and pics are not totally cohesive, I didn't have too much trouble. Manual specs have different color bands than pic or part. Not a real problem as I used a chart and also confirmed with a meter what I was working with. Lastly, for some odd reason, instead of the Vixen logo, I wish an image of Rudolph was screened on the pcb near the power light since it so close and the power light is red. ;D
Anyway, another successful build. Plan to use it for some 10W led spots.

hmm did RJ sneak back in the 1/8 watt resistors. He keeps doing that while the staff keeps trying to keep him to stay with 1/4 watt LOL
Personally I was never a fan of putting the resistor color codes in the manuals just for this reason. If a resistor gets changed then the manual is wrong. The logo should be changed away from vixen but that will cost RJ money in setup fees.

J/k with the Rudolph thing. It's just weird to see a red power light, I am used to green in other the other DIYLA gear...

He could go back to 1/4 watt resistors, but the price would be just a tiny bit more. Although, the price would not be that much more to notice most likely. Me i prefer 1/4 watt and up on my boards as 1/8 watt just cant handle that much juice.
