Discovering the huge potential for improving the efficiency & quality of lighting that Light Emitting Diodes (LED's) offer right now! at least on a par with HQI, providing in excess of 100 lumens per watt of power input!

Pictorial Progression 2

Yeovil


FATMAN
Anything but fat superb up converting constant current regulator from TaskLED.
Housed in the topmost box (considering heatsinking it as a precaution) very efficient 90%



Above two pics .. lets hear it for the genny!!!


Rear all lit up .. runs from key sw on position direct from batts



Charging switches bottom, left is generator connect disconnect, right is battery bank charge select.




Key switch (required prevent battery run down by idiots) bit big but free & available





Left sw = open circuit for second sw control





& shorted for minimum current. 70ma





Right sw (three position) top resistor switched in 400ma approx, mid (open circuit) 1000ma, bottom resistor switched in approx 700ma.





Leaving left sw on v/low 70ma & right sw on centre 1000 ma means a very quick flick of left sw required for hi burst to warn motorists to "dip".

















Original light "beefed"







CPU Heatsink (50p) cut out pan (50p) bracket from scrap box, rivets screws nuts washers in hand.








Top side view of light pod, front yet to be sealed .









70ma output under bright lighting










Ok full blast not looking directly into optics 4 seoul lights kicking out 15w of LED lighting under very bight fluorescent lighting!











4 x 240 lumens? (rating at 1000ma)











Complete system side view, in touring mode. (see room needs decorating hmmmm)
