Yeah, it can be frustrating, but I built it, and it works. One thing I love about bike commuting is the self reliance. I'm responsible for my equipment and I can (usually) fix it. Now, I can even build some of it.
As I've noted elsewhere, I'm a klutz when it comes to repairing things, but since I started bike commuting, I've gotten better (OK, less bad) at other repairs, especially around the house.
I've been waiting !
Do you have some kind of voltage regulator in the circuit to protect the bulb ballast? Do you know what voltage your battery puts out when it is fully charged?
I have read about a couple of systems built with too high voltage and the ballast was damaged. It may not happen right away, it may take time. I think slvoid mentioned this ?
Was batteryspace helpfull ?
