Bargain Ebay bike lights

[Scarfacexxx08]

I've already tried those batteries, and they're too big

 

[IDB1]

Waiting to see if I can source some freebie CR2's . . they are photo lithium so should last well and 27.1mm long so 2 of them may fit the space..

As I already mentioned, running at 6V could shorten the LED life (or blow it instantly but it's not that unusual to run LED's a little hot to get more performance from them - and it may be possible to add a higher rated resistor to the circuit (I haven't looked))

Damn, suppose I can use 'em to somehow replace the dead batteries in my wifes DusterBuster. She's been moping about like the dog has died and the Hoover replacement I bought to cheer her up is just not up to scratch, or so I'm told. :roll:

Also ordered, we got caught out last Thursday in the rain at Gisburn. Only just made it round the full lap the week before too as we dont start out till 7:30/7:45pm

that post was 24th, the pair of purple 7w ones arrived today, also ordered some of the others, still waiting for those but not worried.

Got the Pemesonic batties, and on/off/flash

Will try them out Thursday eve @ Gisburn

7w look the same as 5w

the 5w + rear ones arrived today, little over 2 weeks from ordering.

Thursday = Gisburn Forsest after work = test

So, anyone tried any other batteries?

 

[mattbrown]

They are the same. A friend ordered the 5w Cree +rear from the original link on this thread and apart from the bezel colour it's identical to my 7w one. Both are Saik SA-8.

I've just replaced the crappy batteries in mine and thought I'd gone blind.
