• Good thing I didnt hack off my gear lever bosses, as they were an ideal mounting for my detachable home brew battery pack.This is used to power my home brew 6W luxeon star LED light.

    The grenade style battery back contains 5 AA NiMH batteries soldered together with a switch and DC outlet socket. This is housed in a section of waste pipe, end capped, and enclosed in rubber tube.

    Here's the detachable luxeon star led which also contains a 1A current limiter (buck puck)

  • i hope that wasn't 2nd hand waste pipe :)

  • you should post it to instructables.

  • That's DIY as jaysus!

  • asm i hope that wasn't 2nd hand waste pipe :)
    your on a role tonight!

  • Cool. Did you use an existing torch/bike light to mount the luxeon in? Any heat problems at all?

  • Been using this particular light for the 2nd winter, no heat probs.
    Yes, used an old torch housing. Beam is perfect, and I can get just over 2hrs on full brightness.
