Clive: that make me think, do you think a Joule Thief would work with a slow change RGB LED?

Thanks for the explanation! Now I know why my conversion didn't work and how to fix it :) I guess the same is also true for flickering LEDs ("candle light LEDs")?

The boost converter - hydraulic ram pump analogy is beautiful. A great way to explain switch mode power supplies.

You got me to learn about Hydraulic Ram pumps. They are very cool.
