Daylight Visible Bike Light - Front/Rear Combo - 100 Lumens on 2 AA's

Step 11 Build up the led & lens assembly

- first glue the led to the center middle of the housing. if you are using the 5 degree x 20 degree lens, the orientation of the led is critical because the lens mount only attaches in one orientation.and you need the wide beam of the lens parallel to the ground. the led should be as shown with the led legs oriented vertically.

- drill a hole next to the led to route the wires through, use 18-22 gauge durable flexible wires 6-8 inches long. these wires will flex every time you change the battery.

- solder flexible stranded wires to the led, then check that the lens mount still fits properly on the led, if your solder blobs are too large the mount will not sit flat

- route cable through the hole, then simultaneously glue down the wires and glue on the lens mount (without lens inserted)

- probably want to leave the lens out of the mount until you are all done.
