I think the power to the turret led is 3 - 4v so there's no need to lower it.

Hi Tony,
yes, it is small.

The PCB measures 20mm x 30mm. The total height (measured to the wire clampers) is 12mm
From the simple Voltage table, when the INPUT (Battery source) is more than 7.50V (up until the maximum of 15V), the OUTPUT (@ max) will regulate and hold at 6.45V.

To cut the cost down, this item is marketed without a casing, but a double side tape is included to paste at the soldering side.

IMPACT only sells direct in at Asia.  You can inquire at our Distributors, they will provide you the price.

THanks
