Sorry for all the questions. I've never made one of these before and I'm just trying to understand the process.
One motivating factor for me is saving ~ $100!
Yes, you can assemble this anyway to like, you just have to be creative and think up a housing to fit all of these in. If I had not used the existing cover for the lens, led, the whole circuit would be exposed. I'm sorry to say this, but if you never done this before and your motivation is saving $100, you might as well pay that $100 to buy the Dinotte, because the time you spend as a beginner to learn this stuff will easily offset the $100 investment.
I made this because there are no commercial system as convenient as this one I made, which allows simple mounting option with a bright led in one enclosed case.
