    Where do I find parts to make an auxiliary driving or flog light for a motorcycle.

    I am new at LED lighting but would like to build a pair of LED driving lights or fog lights to install in the lower cowling of a Honda GL1800 Goldwing motorcycle. I would need about 1200 lumen max out of a dual level light that would also have a 600 Lumen mode. Also an oval beam pattern or...

    Live Steam Locomotive Headlight

    this engine will be ride-able. it is 7.5" gauge, meaning that is the distance between the rails, so it is not necessarily a small train. My father is 81 years old, and I would like to have as much light as possible available if he runs it at night, and there is one tunnel on the club's track...

    Thanks for the quick replay but I am new to LEDs so could you answer a few questions and proved a few URLs to the products you recommend? What is a warm tinted XR-E/XP-E? What is "a small diameter buck driver that has a low mode."? Where can I find a "commercial reflector for it...

    PAR36 with high and low beam pattern, replaceable bulb

    I have scoured JC Whitney's site and have come up empty. Maybe I am using the wrong search terms.... Any other suggestions of where I can find a PAR-36 lamp with a hi/lo function? Low cost is paramount.

    PAR36 with high and low beam pattern, replaceable bulb

    Interesting lights, but the LED and HID lamps all are out of the budget. I was hopeing to find a PAR 36 lamp with a replaceable Halagon bulb.

    PAR36 with high and low beam pattern, replaceable bulb

    What is the retail price on the LED lamps? Do they fit a PAR-36 mounting? Do you have a URL for these products? GE makes two PAR-36 sealed beam lamps with two beams, 4460X and H4460X but they are only 40 watts on both filaments. Also they are not widely available, that is why I was...
