new lighting project
« on: February 10, 2012, 11:02:33 PM »
my mate has been making these light modules for mountain biking for a while now, his have been mounted in a bit of tube and run for 12 hrs on 3 AA batteries and brighter than HID headlights, we have now sorted a 12V version and I still don't believe how small they are and the range. the test module is brighter and has a longer range that the ZJ on high beam and this is just a single.

[attachment=1]

got a couple of ideas for cases, thinking of mounting 2 in a cowl scoop on the CJ or might use some the alloy billet I have or we have some 1.25" brushed stainless tube that would make a tiny light bar, but 4 of these and it's like driving in daylight :003:

lumens, don't know but can ask, as for orders not thought about it, do you want loose cans like in the pic or ready to use? 3V or 12V?

Depending on price, I'd be interested in complete 3V units for the bike.

I've currently got a USE 120Lumen LED on the mountain bike but the battery only lasts about 50mins on max power which is a bit shit on a night ride.  I would be interested in the loose cans too, cos if they're as good as they sound they'd make a prefect helmet mounted light (or head light at that).

A single 3W Led puts out about 200 lumens

Very much depends on the quality of the LED though
