Homemade Halogen Bike Light

Step 2 Clamp Assembly

The bolt is pushed through the PVC piping and a nyloc nut was screwed on to lock the bolt. Then another nut was screwed on, then the brass clamp was screwed on. I made some adjustments to the bolt length so that the thread did not poke out of the brass clamp. Finally the second nut was tightened up to the brass clamp so nothing was slipping,

hi there

1) might be a year late ....can you please advise on run time for this light in terms of hours or total minutes.

2) in terms of one 7.2v battery ...whats the rating of the wattage output >?

Do you know what that type of clamp is called? I have not seen one made like that. It looks very strong.

Hi there,

I think its just a pipe clamp, can't remember the size of it though, made out of brass. All the holes are threaded too. I reckon its just for household copper piping so just look in your hardware store and something similar will probably be found in the plumbing section perhaps.

Cheery ho,

Thank you. I will look in the local hardware store. That gives me a good idea of where to look. :)
