Bike season is drawing near.


And with it comes some difficulties, like navigating dark roads ... So I figured I'd solve it with LED's..
2x5W power LED's in a box with optics, batteries and a simple resistor setup to limit the current flow.
A simple on/off switch is placed up on the handlebars, I should probably change this to a high/low setting later on.


This is the lighting at around 7.25W, still some way to go to maximum and I have plenty of flow, I do plan on changing one of the lenses to something with a better throw, that way I can get both angle and length on the beam.


Peace out.

CNC V1-3

Well here's an update for whoever reads this, haven't done any changes to the cad but did some more fabricating ...
 I just hope I'm reaching a good enough accuracy to make this work in the end.
 
The table is almost complete, missing the 4 bottom bearings and holders for those.

Test mounted, i.e just placed ontop.
