Nope!
No idea at all. I've been trying to get some 1381's to experiment with, but
they're a bit thin on the ground here in Oz.
I get the feeling that it won't be as efficient as a 1381 SE because the
1381 is specifically designed for voltage sensing, as opposed to the FLEDs
which just do that incidentally.
But as David Perry noted:
> Nice! I'm going to try it out tonight since i have all the parts.
the parts for it are easier to find than the 1381's. And since Fred is
happily popping away underneath my desk lamp as we speak, I'm not really
concerned about scraping those last few microamps out of the circuit.
If you want to start experimenting with the circuit, try lowering the value
of the 4.7 uF cap to maybe 0.1 uF. I breadboarded the circuit with a 0.1 uF
cap, but didn't have two of them that were the same. 4.7uF was the smallest
pair of caps that I had - hence the value in the schematic.
You might also want to try raising the value of the 10 K resistors to 22 or
even 47 K. Again, 10 K worked in my case, and when I tried 100 K it didn't
work.

I would like to ask your permission to place a copy
of your full post on my web site(www.goecities.com/droidmakr)
I'm preparing a section on legs and beleave tha people
would find it useful. I of course would attribute it to you
and give you full credit for it.
