6 Xm-l light bar build

Very nice!

Whats the driver interface like? or is it simply power on/off. It appears to have a signal cable, so it appears to have some form of control.

How comfortable would you be submersing one? With appropriate waterproofing for the cable, it looks promising.

I will be keeping an eye on this one.

That looks great, should be a good seller. Will you be shipping to the UK? As said perhaps wide/elliptical lens would be good and what fixings are you using? Marine grade stainless?

I have medium wide and elliptical optics. I will try and get some beam shots with the two outer optics swapped out.

I am going to add screws but move the two outside ones out of the way so the wires can pass through.

The o-ring will be fine once I get more screws on the cover. There is a groove the o-ring sits in, so it is not going anywhere. I will try and take some pics of how the light all goes together.

Single wire momentary, Power wires hook straight to the battery.

Should be fully sealed once I get the wiring figured out.

I will ship then anywhere as long as you cover the shipping. Medium USPS flate rate box is $45. I might be able to find a cheaper way. Light is about 4 lbs.

Yes, Stainless fasteners will be standard.

What the driver is like? Are all 6 LEDs driven in series by boost circuit, or there are 3 buck drivers driving 3 pairs of LEDs, or maybe 6 buck drivers, for each LED, or something else?

Two switching buck drivers.

That housing looks awesome and with PPtk designing the electronics, this will be one solid light!

Any thermal protection built in? Or chance for kit units to bring the price down a bit? Very nice product! You have a brighter light then what’s avalible right now. I think the big company’s undejrdrivje everything so the lights doin’t melt due to operator abuse.

Thermal protection is built in, yes.

Sounds like a great light. Ill keep this option in mind when looking for off-road lights!

Great news on WW shipping, I am certainly interested, what’s the expected release date?

I mounted up the light on my DRZ for some real world testing. I also swapped out the outer two optics for ellipticals. Now the light has good side light. It makes spotting deer real easy now. I have not had a chance to get any more beam shots yet. It makes riding at night out in the woods enjoyable now.

Now that is a nice rig.

bright light,in for updates

Welcome to the family, nofearek9!

raccoon city, I’m just curious… What’s with the car, the dunecat and the fanta-dog in every thread? LED Headlights and 18650 powered animals or something? I just can’t figure out their relevance…

PPtk

The car belongs to someone named nofearek9. (Though there's no way you could know that.)

Both the cat and the dog posters have the words "no fear".

The pictures usually have something to do with the new member's user name.

Got it… Thanks for explaining :slight_smile:

You should measure the temperature of a LED. I guess it is rather high. What kind of PCB?

thanks.
this is my actual car :slight_smile:
ek9 is the chassis code for the car. (honda civic type R 1997-2000)

Looks like a Troutie got bit by a radioactive spider. Nice board. Nice housing. Also make a good back up light for say, the Space Shuttle.
