Dual Cree LED copper pipe light...



One side bashed flat. Not very straight holes drilled opposite.
Copper bracket bent up so fits ander cables and on top of mudguard and brazed on (getting the brazing done cost me a beer). Overcoated with clear to keep it looking shiny.

Two Q5 cree XR-E leds and cree optics stuck on to flat portion of pipe. Mylar over holes.
Epoxy and yellow food colouring seal the ends to create side lights (will go carbon fiber next light, very very soon).

Driven by taskled bflex (awesome driver) and 12AAs. Did 4 hours on not full batteries, expect about 5 now, have turned it down to 750mA max as not much difference betweeen 700 and 1000 visually but sucks through batteries. Bflex controller mounted in box on stem, one button control over 3 brightness levels, constant or strobe mode, and low battery led.







Black line in beamshot is mudguard, now cut shorter, as in photos. Just a tiny black stripe where the shadows of the tyre overlap. Should of mounted the leds a few mm apart!
Its a nice tight beam and great for the road.
Beam at 1A



1A gives lots and lots of light!
