Yes! The voltage doubler is only for very low speed operation with older generation LED's. I do not use a voltage doubler or even the two capacitors used to bump up light output a lower speeds with my two LED setup. I use just the bridge rectifier and a capacitor to prevent flashing.

I'm in the UK and Dealextreme don't have £ on their website.
I've had problems with customs and items from the US already, the collection fee for import duty can be a lot more than than the fee itself, making some items very expensive.
That is a problem!
http://www.luxeonstar.com/ allows you to select your currency and will ship to you. Unfortunately your going to be paying full retail prices and import fees. It may not be worth the costs to build your own LED lights.

These optics fit in MR-16 halogen lamp fixtures.
