    Christmas lights for the bike

    For the record, I went to Target and got the lights they had there for about $7 a bundle. I already have a lot of rechargeable AA batteries so these were the best choice for me. The are still not "heavy duty" with the same thin wires as our old Walgreens lights, but the build quality is better...

    Christmas lights for the bike

    I'm thinking of running to target today to check those out, but they look suspiciously like the cheap ones I got at Walgreens, which fall apart really quickly, and IMHO are not worth even buying for use on a bike.

    Christmas lights for the bike

    I am looking for battery powered LED Chrismas lights that we can attach to our bikes for the holiday season, which also happens to be the darkest time of the year. Anyone have a recommendation where to get some good solid ones? We bought a few sets from Wallgreens in years past, but these were...

    Tikka...Has anyone modded one?

    Thanks Cemoi, that thread has some good info. This is a bit OT, but I have a bike light with amber LED's I'd like to change to white Nichias. I'm very much an amature at this, so forgive my ignorance but what is Vf and why does it prevent the guy on that thread from replacing white LEDs with...

    where to get bright 5mm LEDs?

    Well, it looks like cutter has the Cree white and red LED's you guys mentioned, but shipping from Austrailia is $12 on what would be a $18 order. I just posted in the WTB market place, lets see if that gets me anywhere first.

    Tikka...Has anyone modded one?

    vmspb: how is your light going? I have a Zipka with 4 LED's I'm hoping to upgrade as soon as I can find the emitters. The photo below is what I have for internals. I don't know where this resistor is, but whichever one of those do-dads it is, its pretty small and I don't think I am going to...

    where to get bright 5mm LEDs?

    Well, thanks for letting me know WHAT to buy, now I just need to figure out where to get them. Should I post in the WTB section of the Marketplace?

    where to get bright 5mm LEDs?

    I am looking to upgrade some ~5 year old headlamps and bike lights with newer, brighter 5mm LEDs. I am looking for about 18 white LEDs and 15 red LEDs. So can anyone reccommend some brands/models I should look at and where I can buy them in these smaller quantities at a reasonable price? I...

    Dinotte 1200L vs. DIY

    I am considering upgrading my wife's 200-L. Do you guys have any pics of the guts so I can see what I am up against? A few years ago Dinotte upgraded the LED for us, for a fee of course, but I wonder if it might just be worth it to send the light in and have them deal with it?

    most energy efficient shop light?

    So you're saying that T-8 lamps are about as good as it gets? That's good to know, I could just get a couple similar fixtures for the garage then and have the same bulbs everywhere. After looking around online, what I have looks most like an industrial strip. So what you're saying is that I...

    most energy efficient shop light?

    Yeah, I that the LED's would not be there yet for this application, but I thought I'd ask since I don't keep up on such things. So I guess I'm just looking for the most efficient/environmentally friendly option out there for florescent units.

    most energy efficient shop light?

    We do lots of bike maintenance in the basement (several hours per week), and quite a few general handy-man type projects. So we need bright light at times, but we also have a couple supplemental fixtures over our laundry area and my work bench for extra light when we need it. The area is our...

    help with odd mods to PT Apex

    Are those Anderson powerpoles water resistant/water proof? I guess I was imagining a sort of standard DC plug with male on one side and female on the other. But I need something easy to put together, durable and water resistant. Perhaps this should be posted on the bike lighting forum since...

    help with odd mods to PT Apex

    I have two mods to do to two PT Apex lamps and I am not sure how to go about them. My old Apex broke at the hing between the lamp and the plastic bit that the strap goes through. I would like to return this light to service somehow attaching it to... something. Maybe a bike handlebar, maybe a...
