Rear light improvement.
This is an experiment with making the Lucas Lighting system more efficient on my
bikes. I really thing its a bit overshoot to have a 15W bulb fitted at the rear.
I made simple circuit with 3 rows of 8 HB (High Bright) LEDs. Each row draws
about 150 mA. - So At normal light it draws 150 mA, and when the brake light are
applied, It draws a staggering 450 mA ( 0.45 A ). And the LEDs has another great
property, they are 100% shock resistant, and almost never has to be replaced. No
more changing the rear bulbs on my bike...
Please observe that I have removed the internals of an old bulb, so no changes
are made to the bulb holder.
Here you will se the diagram - This is for 6 Volt only:
If you would like a diagram the 12 V version of the Light,
Please email, and I will make it and post it on this page.
