    Overdriving a Q5

    I bought one of these a while back and am quite pleased with its throwing ability. UniqueFire HS-802 http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.16538 I use it on my bicycle for commuting and after dropping it a few times, the emitter came apart and conked out. I replaced the dead, R2-WC emitter...

    Bike blinkie re-wire

    Woot! I got it all hooked up and am very pleased with the results! I used plumber's silicone to seal up the wires' entry holes. The only thing I'm going to change is the velcro straps. I think elastic cords will hold the flashlight, (battery container) in place a little better. I was telling...

    Bike blinkie re-wire

    I feel like an ig now. I was setting two lights to flashing which produced the dimming effect on the one remaining light. State law says you can only have one flashing light visible on the rear of a vehicle unless they flash in unison. This setup is reserved for emergency vehicles. When I set...

    Bike blinkie re-wire

    I'd like to stick with the 2-AA setup, if possible. Tell me if I'm getting in over my head, but what about wiring in resistors to control the power fluctuation? Or do resistors not work that way? Thanks again.

    Bike blinkie re-wire

    So, I finally got around to testing this setup. I've done scads of mechanical modifications and home-builds on my bikes, but this is the first electrical modification I've done. As such, I was a little leery about the setup, (Brlux, don't take it personally. It's just my own ignorance playing...

    Bike blinkie re-wire

    Actually, this battery is made up of what looks like 8-AAs. http://www.batteries-online.co.uk/d/batteries_Hobby%20Batteries_xxnonexx_xxnonexx_14909.htm Only having to pop out a couple of batteries would be easier than my current setup. Not to mention less wear and tear on the lights' housings...

    Bike blinkie re-wire

    I've searched the forum, but haven't found anyone who has modded LED blinkies as I am wanting to. I commute to work on my bicycle. The route I take puts me on fairly major streets for 35+ miles so the more visible I am, the better. I run three 9-LED blinkies on the back of my bike. They line up...
