Rob's Mk3 Light

By Rob - Posted on 02 April 2009

Mk3 light: 6 x Cree XPE driven at 700mA from a TaskLED MaxFlex. Khatod triple lens + 3 x Carlco 16 degree at the sides.

Fitted to 20x20x3mm aluminium then secured inside 75x25x3mm box section (75mm long so it's square). Covered in LED heat sinks from Jaycar.

Front cover from huge lump of plexiglass I found on the street. Oh, did I mention the box section was also a freebie offcut I found dumped last year and it's driven from an old 4000mAh, 10.8v laptop battery (also free)? Cable is recycled from Mk1.

Has a beam that will complete annihilate a set of Ay-Ups for well under half the price! Laughing out loud

Blimey that's quite a spikey beast you've created Rob. How does it perform?

Let's just say when you have this beast on Ay Up riders are not sure if they have their lights on Smiling It just leaves them in the shadows completely

That includes 6 LEDs, 6 Lenses and a LED driver.

All you then need is a battery to power it all. So total should be somewhere between $200-$300 for a 1000+ lumen light Smiling
