that looks like a very professional piece of work, well done! First use of the Carclo 26.5mm optics I’ve seen too. I’d echo some of the other comments in that a couple of elliptical optics (if Carclo do them in that size) would flatten and widen the beam to give a little more side light. That’s all down to preference though, but I’m sure giving the buyers a choice would be a pretty cool selling point.
As for the o-ring squishing about, have you thought about using a one piece silicon gasket? You could trial one from some baking sheet (must be smooth both sides) to see if works any better before shelling out big bucks to get some cut.
Thats one sweet light bar. Good Luck and let us know when they go on sale.
If you have a prototype or semi complete light bar you want to get rid of let me know?
I have a on-road race ATV that can use a head light upgrade.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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…
