Hi Team,
I started making a light months ago but all that I've achieved is collecting a big bag of goodies and no light to use yet. My biggest issue is the housing for the cutter MR11 kit I bought. I wanted to go DIY Dinotte style but can't find the right pipe to use for a 35mm ID. grr..
so I came across this (again) recently - Hammond Manufacturing enclosures - (see http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=407160 and http://www.hammondmfg.com/1455V2.htm) and thought maybe I'll get another MR11 kit and set them up as separate light in the same case.
So one set up to be: hi beam @700ma, lo beam @300ma or something, and off - using a buckpuck 3023 700ma (which i already have). The other set up as: another hi beam of the same-ish brightness, a strobe so i can remove my blinky and clean up my handlebars, and off - using a bflex or something maybe.
so a few questions:
1. is this possible? what haven't i thought about?
2. is heat an issue?
3. the main question, how could i do the strobe with the toggle one way and the hi beam with the toggle the other? what driver would i need?
thanks as always, you cluey knowledgable bunch :twothumbs
