I was not sure where to post this but as it is a homemade light I figured it was here .
And I just wanted to share .
I was wondering when messing around with leds and optics that there seemed to be a load if light that never gets out of the casing .
and also for biking with the light on the bars and pointing down the trail there is a dark spot all around the front wheel .
so putting 2 & 2 together I tried a housing that was open underneath and covered with clear lexan bent to fit
This is a sort of mark 2 version of a 6 XPE bike light I made last winter using the 10 mm Carclo optics and it has been a real beauty of a light
on to the results of the lumens captured inside the light I have taken some pics
first one is the light with the front blanked off with some matt black metal
second is the bottom of the light blacked out
and third is nothing blanked out and I was quite supprised at the result
Now this does work very well for a bike light and I wondered if it had a use in the flashlight world too
and now the out on the trail beam shots on low and hi
