I have looked through but not found anything that quite matches what I want. I am considering building a light to go on a dynohub, I was thinking about getting the schmidt one if the light doesn't cost too much.
Basically I require the following:
- high output - hoping for around 1000 lumens
- standlight - for a few minutes
- something that doesn't blind drivers
- something for road use to show me both the road ahead and potholes
- something that I can move between 2 bikes easily
- a tail light of around 500 lumens or so - this should have a filter to enable cars to see me best from a distance and from the side
- waterproof
- something that uses LEDs
- easy to build!
I know this is quite a lot but hopefully it is plausible! I have been looking at prebuilt lights such as the supernova e3 triple but they are quite pricey and at least if I built it myself I can change the LEDs when better ones come out.
How hard is it to build a light, I have a soldering iron but minimal experience! I have taken a look at
http://www.pilom.com/BicycleElectron...moCircuits.htm and assume that I'd require one of these circuits. I am not good at building enclosures so are there any prebuilt enclosures out there that are waterproof?
Many thanks in advance,
Daven
