Broken Bike Light - Giving a new life

One evening I had a bumpy ride on my bicycle from office back home. My brand new front light slipped from its groove, fell on the road and came under a motor bike, it just couldn't take the ride anymore....

From a distance I could see lots of crushed pieces on the road and thought that poor gadget is finished. Just then I thought I should go closer and assess the damage. When I had a closer look I could see that the outer casing of the LED unit, the front glass was fully damaged and the battery holder casing damaged to an extent. The actual LED and the battery holder units were lucky, had survived with only minor bruises.

Not knowing what to do with those units I just picked and brought them home. Since then I have been thinking on ways to use them, but nothing came to my mind. One fine day I thought why shouldn't I try and rebuild this front light.????

Here I am going to show you how I was able to give a new life to my bike light.
