Quick ?
Were you wearing the welding helmet to avoid flashburn? Nice tail lite, but I am worried that the drivers behind you will be able to see it through their squinting eye lids. |

Throw a couple resistors on that beast. I don't know what voltage you're running, but most operate at 1.5V and burn out at like 3 V. The ones i've used anyway.

The light has a resistor array on it, it just happens to be designed for the maximum amount of voltage the LEDS can take before burning out. The plan this year it to be so far ahead of the person behind us that the brightness shouldn't really affect the driver behind us.

You know I am just not going to think about it any more. |

Well, the sun isn't exactly my next door neighbor, and I think it's still pretty bright. Look at that picture again. Whenever a flat black object reflects so much light that you can no longer tell it's black, you should probably tone it down. (Recall that the black "color" you "see" is not really a color at all, it's the absence of light, so when you see a black helmet and shirt turn red, you know your lights have cajones grandes) ------------------------------- UW-P Vector Representative "500 kilowatts of whoop-de-friggen-do electricity!"- http://www.impulsengine.com/pe...nce/horsepower.shtml "The pleasure of driving shouldn't be something that's reserved for people with very deep pockets."-Conor (I modified it a little bit) |
