Nice! Do you have a schematic for that?

Take a look on my website at the fibre optic hack. It contains roughly
the same circuit but with smoothing and all the hassle that entails. The
discharge resistor is in a different position in the schematic on my site
and all the components on the DC side of the rectifier are not needed
except for the LEDs.

Cool. Much appreciated.

You may want to consider earthing those metal bolts that hold your
mains-potential PCB up, and that also stick out the bottom of the case.
Perhaps nylon bolts would work - not sure - but a warning would perhaps be
good for those that may try to copy it and not realise. Cool all the same.
