So I saw Yellowbee's thread on new lights and it got me moving. BTW....great work Yellowbee
Thanks to Lagalaxy8 for sending over the turn signals. I have modified one and will do the other as well.
I added 600 lumens of white light to the turn signal. I will have about 200 lumens of yellow LED's to be my riding and turn signal lights....so far so good.
If I need to, I will toggle the white light off while my turn signals are on. if I use a relay that is powered by the turn signal line, no problem.
I will also probably need to make my own mount so I can adjust it to where I want, but all in all, I think this will work.
Looks great. I've been thinking about modifying my extra set and using the mount setup I already installed ever since churchkey noted that they have reliability issues.
This forum... wow... everyone really has great ideas, with interesting solutions, then someone shares it, and another person refines it and brings it to another level...and shares it again...
great community.
I would like to see a video of these to see the driving (600 lumen) light turn off while the blinker is on.
Thanks Yellowbee & Scawein!
Scawein - I love a good work bench shot with all the goodies in the background!
ALRIGHT!! ....alright... Of course we have love & thanks for you too LD!!
You may have hit upon a golden idea here. Seems like the many. would do something similar from stock. Have all the lights on and when you hit the turn signal the bright would turn off and go to flashing yellow. Maybe they can get wind of your mod and incorporate it down the line. Call them Scawein lights! Who knows?
Thanks again everyone and I will do a write-up when done. I am working on the schematic now for the LED's so I can get a circuit board made to fit inside the bucket....which will look like this:
I am having fun and you guys are helping, thanks....this forum indeed does rock

That's a $50 - $100 flashlight your cannibalizing...
could you make this mod work with these components? They have them board mounted already. I used this site to replace (upgrade) the LED's in my kitchen stove Hood.
Yes they can be added together. I am learning more as I am playing with the circuit for the turn signals. My high flux LED's came in (Yellow).
I like the single CREE LED from the flashlight. I even like the metal housing, think it looks kewler than the single lenses...and gives me a little more room for angling it down a bit.
I will post more as it comes together....
Once I finish the turn signal circuit, I will get the CREE running. I would almost like to try a higher voltage on the CREE but am worried about blowing it.
BTW...L2L, your headlight looks kewl, have liked it since I saw it
White outside ring with amber in the center. The light can be used as a running white light and the ambers come on in the center when the turn signal is activated.48 LEDs total. 24 white and 24 amber
nope...your right YB, no projected light, especially when compared to a 600+ lumen lights. These would be an easy swap out, inexpensive alternative for some that want to add the benefit of "being seen". Meaning quick easy DRL/ conspicuity lights.
Scawein's projected light will come from 2 $100 flashlights, and mine are in the $400 rent district.
I am still at it, been a tough week and now an even tougher day for the country.
I am saddened and wish the best for all of us.
