I maybe get my first bike light?
How much would it cost in $$ (USD) , If you were shipping this light to the USA ?
Hey, thnx for the giveaway, I'm in!
I gave my Silverback MTB to my brother in law who is still a student and who enjoys mountain biking a lot more than I have time for. I would love to mod and give him this light as well, to "open" his eyes towards proper lights.
I don't have a lathe, but lots of friends with lots of tools :)
Cool idea for a giveaway. I'd like to see more giveaways of nicer items require the recipient to give back to the community in ways like this.
I've added some pictures of the stock and replacement driver in the post #1
Yeah, I also think it was a good thing to extend the Bike Light Giveaway
to a worldwide basis. Good deal ledoman !! 8)
I mod all my flashlights for recumbent bicycles.
I would love to have the opportunity to mod this one.
I am more than willing to document the entire build.
Thanks for the giveaway. I’d love to be in, I practise nighttime mtb, with a variety of flashlights depending on the situation, but unfortunately I don’t have access to a lathe. So good luck you machinist bikers!
i am in,nice gift will be great for my bike,thanks for the giveaway.i can replace the driver unless it requires special tools to open the flashlight.
Rules for participant:
- is from EU or Central Europe countries (because shipping issues)
I’m in France, even if it doesn’t matter any more. 
- became member of BLF before 13th August 2014
Check
- can do driver change and will do brief review of the stock and moded light
I’m an electronics engineer so no problem for electronics but I’m not a mechanical engineer… I have basic skills though and know people that have a lathe.
I can do a quick review. I already did reviews you can check here and here
- one post per member and notice if he is the MTB or any other type of cyclist
I do practice Mountain Bike. Here are my two bikes:
I only go MTB during the day but I’ve been thinking about riding at night for quite some time. As you can see my bikes lack some lumens for that though.
Overall I would be more than happy to get and review that light!
I am a regular Mountain Biker and I, together with my two sons, usually ride at night. Each of our bikes have SolarStorm X2 bike lights installed. Since I’m into modding, I replaced the emitters in my X2 with XM-L2 T6 3Bs because I like a warmer tint. I also modified the MCPCBs like this:
However the X2’s throw is limited and I can’t see far enough when riding in a highway at night so I added a SingFire SF90 beside it. The X2 now serves as my Low Beam and the SF90, which I modified with a dedomed XM-L2 T6 1B on modded MCPCB, is now my High Beam, and my bike now looks like this:
If I win that bike light I think I could have both high beam and low beam because I’m planning on dedoming the LEDs for throw (aside from the driver change that you wish). The 6 LED set-up would automatically cause a wide bright spill even with dedomed LEDs.
Please do count me in! :bigsmile:
Pushing this thread up a bit.....
When you post ” Pushing this thread up “. What’s your meaning
for that :quest:
It is to shows up higher on the list of the recent posts. It's meaning is to remind members of this giveaway. ;-)
Ok, now that makes the meaning a little clearer to me. 
I ride a mountain bike occasionally. Don't have a lathe, but haven't met a light I couldn't modify with my drill press and imagination. Thank you for the opportunity ledoman and GearBest.
ImA4Wheelr, so you think you could mod it with drill press and I should count you in? You might be right.
There you'll have to drill two step ring. The outer to fit diameter of the new driver (ie. 28mm) and the second deeper with about 26mm dia so the elements from the circuit would take a place. Hope you understand what I mean.
I can. I've done stuff like that plenty of times. Just make a jig for the head so that it can be rotated against a high speed cutting and/or an end mill bit. There are other ways as well.
Great, then I can put you on the list, right?
