Super Easy Super Bright Ten Minute Green Bike Lights

Its another bike headlight... sadly nothing new, but definitely an easy and cheap or free way of make a great and efficient package. Doable in ten minutes minus the paint. These are super efficient where I would get about an hour with my halogens on my battery, I get about 16 with these so this is a great battery/money saver and its brighter. For both sets of lights it cost me around ten dollars thats not including a battery. If you have the stuff around your house it is easily free.

What You Need:

4 15-16mm 12v Car LED's (2 "front" White, 2 "rear" red)
2 Easy Break 3/4" Sprinkler connectors
4 threaded/slip 3/4" PVC Elbows
Wiring/Connectors
Soldering gun and solder
Electrical Tape
Spray Paint/Bed Liner

Drill/Drill-bit or a Nail and Hammer

Honestly I could not tell you but i am using it to replace this http://www.rei.com/product/776522?cm_mmc=cse_froogle-_-datafeed-_-product-_-776522&mr:trackingCode=6F39D5C0-521A-DE11-B4E3-0019B9C043EB&mr:referralID=NA and the output is nearly the same (there initial is a bit brighter but mine lasts ALOT longer. Mostly it depends on which LEDs you choose to buy and your battery source..

Thank you for sharing this. I now have a better idea of how to do my own; based on yours with some variation.
