Possum detector

Jun 05 I T boned a possum on a gravel road. This was at 10 mph. Had a Cateye EL 500 mounted on fork.Great light but not enough side spill for me to see this critter. So I started looking at other lights. Some good LED lights out there. Blackburn X6 looked good. Spot and flood. Too many $. So I bought 6 Luxeon 3's from Lumileds @ $3.65 ea. Some L2 optics from Finland. I designed this light. Its made of Poplar! Why? Because wood is easy to shape. The heatsink is 1/2 of pentium with an air duct
like an A7. The optics are 5 deg spot and an oval 5 deg tall X 20 deg wide. The idea is oval beam to light both sides of road and spot for serious speed. Both are dimmable for traffic. It will use 10 AA cells and
6 hr duration at 100%. Probably much more when dimmed some (City). Shape was an evolution to make it look different than the average light. Each side is adjustable up/down. I think I can beat the $200 blackburn for about $60. Its in progress and my Hungarian friends who are making driver electronics are smart. Smart enough to not work so hard..HeHe This will be a great light system.
