I am in the process of building a helmet light using 3 cree XPG led's and now need to source power connectors and a waterproof switch. Does anyone have any recomendations where to purchase these from?
Buy a cheap extension [url= http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32751 ]cable[/url]. Cut it in half and wire the ends to battery and light.
For switches I've used a [url= http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=2341 ]Toggle Switch[/url] with a [url= http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=2348 ]Waterproof Toggle Switch Cover[/url]. These are similar to what Lumicycle use.
...oh and good luck in your light build.
Thanks for the advice, i will take a look at covered toggle switches. I really want to find a connector with a little more snap together retention than a stereo jack extension lead.
The std DC dual concentric types can have good retention force. See these on Hopes.Try CPC: http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/home/homepage.jsp
As for DIY, I mod the Dealextreme LED torches;C2 etc.
Good Luck!
