Hey all
Have a set of old cateye lights going spare - they use a 6V MR11 Halogen system and the clunky original batterys are dead
The lamp units themselves are nicely made and the mounts are good...so...
I want to upgrade them to LED and make up a lighter, better battery pack for them.
What are the LED options for this? - want as pokey as i can get it and is there a good place to buy from - i'll also need battery bits and a charger.
Thanks all!

Cutter triple / quad kits are the best. Are the bodies alloy or plastic> With plastic bodies you might run into heat issues. Single leds can be made to fit but ists a question of mounting them all up
IMO not worth just using the light bodies - more hassle than its worth
Metal bodies
Aye, the bodies might not be worth it, but i wondered what was available as a direct, or at least minimal fuss replacement for the existing halogen bulbs
The cutter kits then - more or less drop in - a bit of soldering needed and yo need to mount the circuit board - make sure the PCB the LED is on is tight on the alloy shell to get rid of the heat
Have a look on [url= http://www.cutter.com.au/products.php?cat=41 ]here[/url]
Halfway down the page - MR11 kits. Boost kit to use with batteries less than 10 V - buck kit for more than 12.5 V
I'll use 12v as the original batterys are ruined anyway.
Cool, thanks for that link - will speak to my tame electronics engineer 🙂
