again with the new tech on the old bike....I used 10mm red leds in series of 5 each with a 60 ohm resistor. if you want to use more leds go here for the resistor value

the white wood was the bottom of a drawer. It has a run and stop arrays. Soon I will do my winkers.

Hot glue is your friend, stops rattles, shields wires.

How's the brightness on that setup with the lens? Comparable? I was considering 10mm whites for a LED Headlight build (for the low beam part, anyway).

i would use 15-20 for a headlight. its slightly dimmer than stock bulbs. i may ad 10 more to the running array

so i added 10 to the stop array instead.

How's the brightness now?

skamagedon · « **Reply #5 on:** June 08, 2011, 05:26:46 PM »

bright enough for a sunny day. and changes shape well

Good to know. I think I might give this one a try in short while.

Thanks for the project report!

skamagedon · « **Reply #7 on:** June 23, 2011, 10:43:04 PM »

so i made a new running array design. enjoy

That's awesome! I like that idea. I forgot to ask, did you get or make your lens clear?

skamagedon · « **Reply #9 on:** August 17, 2011, 08:20:28 AM »

If you have an AVR programmer (USBminiISP) you could build one of these

I wonder how much it would make a difference as far as visibility goes.
