Homemade Halogen Bike Light

Step 6 Finished!!

Basically you can make a lot of what I made to however you want it or however you can make it, the bulb casing was put together by tightly screwing the pipe caps on with the halogen bulb inbetween one of them. The rest is pretty much self explanatory from the pictures, Thanks for looking at my approach/ solution to a cheap and effective bike light

SO I now have pretty much finished this dam thing and its pretty awesome! I have scrapped the aluminium battery housing and gone with a simple water bottle case instead- which is lighter and much easier to mount because its ready-made.

I've got new Nimh batteries rated 7.2v 2000mah (�13 each) each and are running them series to get 14.4V. The bulb and housing/mount are the same. The end cap on the housing doesn't have a switch anymore. I am just using the plug connectors as a switch- less components to go wrong! Oh and some new wire too (good ol speaker wire)

Check out the pictures (phone quality i know, will take some better ones some time)

I AM GOING TO ADD BETTER PHOTOS AND BETTER DESCRIPTION IN THE FUTURE< BUT FOR NOW ITS FINISHED
