Step 2Shortening the torch.
Carefully measure out where to make two cuts on the torch so that when you take the cut off end bit it matches the hole at the other cut.
I could have made them shorter but would have needed an external switch. Being lasy I choose to use the switches in each torch. They are also a bit waterproof so I wont have to worry about rain in the switch.
After cutting the middle out the end is simply glued into place to make a pair of awesome looking bike lights.
Not photographed is the wires soldered to the battery clips o the back of the reflector shell. These were common to both lamps and a trailing lead went to one of the bicycle front panniers where it connected to a 4 cell AA battery holder.
