More light at night


Recommended Posts

With dunefest on the horizon and lots of night riding there , I whipped up this little project last night .

Check em out ! The lights are LED , each uses 3 AAA batteries and they are removeable . The mounts are attached to The Helmet with the same 3M tape that gopro camera mounts use .

I might just have to steal this idea for my helmet. Can you get a pic of how far they shine while you are sitting on your machine?

My buddy is a dealer for Streamlight , the lamp is the 100,000 hour 7 LED bulb model called ( Septor ) these lights are basically a headlamp with the strap removed and then fixed to the helmet shell . The mounting base stays attached while the lights can be removed by pulling the screw/ hinge pin . To install or remove the lights it takes under a minute . I have 2 sets of these ready to be shipped . $50.00 includes the ride . The lamp has a 3 way switch so one press only 1 led comes on , 2nd press 3 are on and third press all of them are on ,4th press and it's off . 3 AAA Batteries for each one included . 3M mounting tape is also included .

I'll post up a night picture for comparison so you can see the light they throw .

Ok the first image is my back yard with my camera flash

2nd is the back yard , no flash to show that yes it's pitch black outside

3rd is the Helmet lights on the highest setting , they are throwing a beam that's roughly 45 to 50 feet .

Are these the lights you can buy at gander mountain for $20? I use them for walking in to my tree stand, actually put out a lot more light than you would think.

 

 

I don't know if they are the same ones , These are Streamlight brand 7 LED lamps , and The last picture doesn't do it justice as to how well you can see , I can't wait to try them out in the pitch dark of the dunes , LOL judging by the animal tracks I've seen out there , Maybe I dont wanna know whats out there LOL :bolt:
