    Just thought I’d share my new DIY light with you all. Machined out of aircraft grade aluminium with adjustable side pods. Running 7 XM-L LED’s @ 3amps. On paper output is over 8000 lumens.
    Got 2 triple’s and a single with an aspheric lens…

    That looks mental!!

    Where does the battery go? how long does it last?

    Would be good to see beamshots.

    Would also be a good if you could maybe snap one off and use it as a helmet light with a splitter in the power cable.

    Battery is currently in a bottle but will need to go in a pouch as my new frame won’t take a bottle. Run time is nearly 2 hrs on full power, not that I’ll need full power much 😯

    according to a thread on pistonheads there’s no upper limit on intensity 😯

    Isn’t the legal limit 60W? I don’t know if they have amended the law in regard to more efficient lights such as LEDs where 10W would probably make the equivalent power to a 55W car bulb.

    apparently that’s the per bulb limit, you can have as many as you like.
