Hello captainslug,
have you replaced your flash lights with LEDs?
In post #9 I read that it's not so easy to do, but couldn't read any resulsts in later posts.
I have to design a flash system for a high efiiciency velo mobile
Velomobile - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and still look for the best LEDs to do this and the right number so that is compareabele to common 21W bulb flashers.
@your head light:
I wonder that you have no narrow beam which does not annoy oncoming traffic. unfortunality some bicycle LED light homebrewers do it similar, so I draw a figure to show the waste of light
e6-schnitt_xr-e_relIntensitaet_Polarkoordinaten | Flickr - Photo Sharing! becasue a siginifant part is lost at heaven (even if the light is pusehd down).
My latest finished LED light projekt (hub generator powered) is a half cutted aftermarket fog car reflector with Cree MC-E
Flickr: ami8break1's stuff tagged with diyledscheinwerfer5 I paid attention to get most light focused out of the reflector (=high efficiency).
Another LED guy started an interesting (batteries powered
) project with Aftermarket scooter Ellipsoid head lights, I guess this could be a good starting point
Es werde Licht!!
