Home made bike lights?

I was out last night in the pitch black with a crappy bikehut front light and 2 lights I bought out of decathlon the other day strapped to my helmet(bike helmet before anyone says ouch!!). It was scary and a very steep learning curve, now since the credit crunch has taken a sizable chunk out of my arse I'm looking to build my own high power fronts.

So as the title says.....How hard can it be?

P.s Decathlon are selling nice wee bike lights rreduced from 19.95 to a tenner......I wouldnt bother .

Cheers

John

Well I wouldn't try it cos I wouldn't know where to start. I just bought expensive lights cheap off the classifieds.
I also wouldn't try night riding with cheap commuter lights ๐Ÿ˜ฏ
