    Bicycle Light Setup Redesign

    I think vision X were being lazy quoting the KLC8 figures in this table. As I intepretet it the KLc8 represent 'led technology' as a whole in contrast to HID or halogen, not the Led in this particular product. If the lumen rating is equal you will see just as well (if all else is equal, and...

    Bicycle Light Setup Redesign

    It seems like the issue isn't that you need more light to see by, otherwise there are 30W bulbs, and at 14-16v things get brighter, whiter and more efficient. I remember reading in Philips publicity material for these lamps of 'efficiency of up to 24 lumens per watt' (at 12v) so at a guess each...

    Bush & Mueller HID Big Bang Light Info?

    Here it is : 'only' 10 watts, average bulb life 1000 hours, 150 euros for service and replacement of bulb. http://www.starbike.com/images/BUMM/PDF/197.pdf (It looks like there is a translation error, the english text uses the word 'ignitor' where the french and german refer to the 'burner' (the...

    DRL

    I use my rear lights most of the time during the day and often a front light too. I realise I don't see many other riders doing this. It can particularly make a difference on tree lined roads. I'm also a fan of DLR on cars, hopefully efficient ones not main headlights. I can tell in a glance...

    Lumen Porkies

    I know not everyone is bothered about CRI values, but I was interested to see that the highest CRI of the tested lights was only 74.5.

    Bush & Mueller HID Big Bang Light Info?

    Have you seen this? It looks like it could be similar, but with the advantages of led. (http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?t=200649) (edit) There is another version available with high and low beam which meet standard requirements, mentioned in this thread...

    AA battery holder?

    There was a discussion of this a few months back in 'flashlight electronics.' One solution to problems of the springs getting hot and wasting power at higher currents is use the springs only to hold the batteries in place, soldering in proper wires to carry the current. Maplins sell 3AA series...

    How to mount LED driver for cooling

    You could use the existing battery with a dc dc converter such as dx sku.15149, you would now have 5v going to the driver.

    Info on Li-ion Battery Module and Dichroic reflector halogen

    You give additional information, now I think the answer to your question is yes you can use the lipo battery because it has the same peak voltage of 16.8v as your current battery pack. Both have nominal 14.8 and peak 16.8. One might want a regulator to eliminate dimming and so the bulb will last...

    dead lithium battery never used what can be done

    Re: building a lithium-ion battey pack Hmm, I'm not sure. Have you checked the voltage of each cell? That's pretty important. If the voltage is as low as 2v per cell it may be too late. Let's hope not, eh? The only other things that I can possibly think of are if something is not connected...
