Chainsaw flashlight (gas engine powered spotlight)

Step 6 Mount the light and regulator

In the video I didn't use a voltage regulator and burned out the bulb . I'm going to get a better bulb/spotlight next round and an old motorcycle voltage regulator. If the chainsaw engine is not revved up too much, one could get by without it, but not for long. The negative (black) and positive (red) wires from the electric motor are connected directly to the bulb here; ideally a voltage regulator would be in between. I had one laying around the garage somewhere; when I find it, I'll repost the pictures and video.
