Mi Own LED Head Light

After some extensive search, I guess I got some stuff to built my own High Intensity/Low Current Led Head Light:

300~500 Lumen Led assembly:

Drivers:

There are many other options, take a look at this link:

http://www.ledsupply.com/index.php

I guess will order some stuff and see how it works!

Enjoy it!

Some days later..

After waiting for some 5 days, I got them!!, I was impressed how carefuly those guys packed everything:

This is the Luxeon V, I choose this one instead of the Endor Star, with its base, driver and reflector, this one is capable of 300 lumen:

I also got these ones, the Luxeon K2, with it's base and reflector, it uses the same driver as the Luxeon V, I got 2 of this leds, just in case...they are not very expensive:

The day after....

Well, as you all know, I can't be "out of business" for a minute!

I spent some time thinking on how I will install this "star" LED on my head light, finally I got an idea!, I will fabricate an small "base" for my LED, this base would be "inserted" inside the bulb socket, here is the drawing (sorry for a bad drawing in Spanish:

First I did was to fabricate a "dummy" of the LED:

Beside the LED:

Here you can see the led on the dummy, I will mark it to make two drills, in those drills I will make some threads and bolt the Star LED

You can see here the dummy with the new drills:

Bolted on::

I will fabricate the LED Base with an aluminium 1" diameter rod, the aluminium base will work also as a heat sink, this LED gets hot!!

Will keep posting later

 

[Mexicano]

Up-Date...

I did a new harness and a base for the heat sink:

The harness:

At the back:

The stock socket:

The socket without cables:

Here it's how I did the base for the heat sink, using some rod of insulating material:

The rod at the lathe:

How it's going?

Again at the lathe:

 

[Mexicano]

More....

Checking tolerances at the socket again:

Back view:

Now, A back cover:

Doing adjustments:

Cover almost finished, need some fileing:

here it is:

Another shot:

I did two drills for the wires:

Next step will be the aluminium heat sink.

Did a drill to hold the insulator in place:

Did threads:

Got the aluminium:

Turning the surfaces:

Turning the diameter:

Checking tolerances:

Turning the complete rod :

Almost done:

 

[Mexicano]

Almost done!

Done!

All parts together:

Doing drill and threads to heat sink section:

Turning a "box" for the LED:

Doing drills and threads for the LED:

Almost finished:

Here you can see I changed the bolts to hold the LED, the driver is connected:

The difuser is on:

 

[Mexicano]

Here you can see the first run of this LED:

The back side:

The exterior heat sink:

Some pics from the front:

I'm very happy with how this led works, what do you think?:

 

[RoxEvoII]

nicely done! congratz Mexicano, very professional that LED transformation :winner:9||69||69||69||69||6

 

[jogrr]

Very nice, no hi/lo option though? Nice lathe work,maybe you can give some pointers

 

[Mexicano]

Thanks guys!

jogrr: No, no High/Low option on the same light bulb, have an small led for the low beam.

 

[jogrr]

Thanks guys!

jogrr: No, no High/Low option on the ame light bulb, have an small led for the low beam.

what was your total cost not including your time?

 

[Mexicano]

what was your total cost not including your time?

Mmmm.....Led, driver, diffuser & freights from U.S.A = $67.00 Usd.
Aluminium & phenolic bars and other materials = $35.00 Usd.

I know it is a little expensive, but....importing stuff in to Mexico always is expnsive!!

If you can get the led and driver locally, you will save some $35.00 Usd., if you can get just an small bar of aluminium and phenolic, not the complete bar like I had to do...you will save more money......

Nothing to say, real nice job...

 

[SaTaNaSsO]

OMFG... :O
impressive...
soooo cool...
very nice job...

Thanks guys!

Custom Chrome Body Parts

Mexicano>>>I have to admit, you are the man 9||6. I have been in the scooter business for 5 plus years and you do nice work. I put together a website called: scooterchromeparts.com, it has been online since November of 2007 and is growing pretty quick in popularity. I have custom chrome body parts for 125cc, 150cc Vento (Phantom) Styles and other similar body styles. Maybe you can use some of these parts in the future, or may know someone that can use them. I pretty much have every body part you can imagine. Well, hope you like my website: www.scooterchromeparts.com :W

Please past on the good word, thx

Then I got some square frame:

I did a "notch" to insert the upper part:

I'll weld the highlighted parts:

Cut a small plug for it:

The upper part is welded now:
