but ja. im not trying to brag! i mean lets see how my light goes first!

mag lights are toys! the one im using uses a genuine CREE LED. so its much brighter!!!

ha ha ok cool will think about it! and yes i think if you doing nite races etc you need BIG LIGHTS! then go visit doctor BL

when i post pics you will see, the light we have built looks better then that ugly HALOGEN one in that instructables! and i dont use halogen stuffSpeedi152008-06-10 07:40:28

ja Hog go for it! Speedi152008-06-10 07:39:55

boet, im using D cell batteries! SIMPLE SIMPLE! CHEAP CHEAP!

but as i said ill post some pics! also im riding with a group, and we dont need huge lights when we ride!

well with me, i just brought a bloody torch from an outdoor shop! cut it in half wired the battery to the LED and mounted it!

true true! but i didnt build one. and mayb if i get it right, you will be able to buy one for less than 1k from me

ha ha NOT! its a measurement of light http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lumen_(unit)

and the battery life is 10 hours plus

i can make a double light, get say 340lumens...

Nope! ok its actually 176lms. its a CREE LED. XR-E type cree. No jokes, its flippin bright

OH and another thing, it looks quite neat!

No its not a joke! a while ago, i asked on a forum if it were possible to buy a bike light for under R1000. ppl replied " NO THATS IMPOSSIBLE! YOU JUST DONT GET BIKE HEADLIGHTS FOR UNDER 1K!!" i felt embarrassed for askinhg the Q. well im pleased to let you know, iv just done it! i made a light for under 500 bucks! bought a torch and converted it to a bike light! it gives 180 lumens, and so far 10 hrs of battery life! will post pics on the weekend. is anyone interested in one?
