light up your helmet!!!

To add a new light when you ride a motorbike is a plus for your safety. So...I had a small light decorative for my motorbike. Was gained some years ago before the LED attack. It had a small 12V DC lamp. I never used it and burried throuhgt the years. Recently I find it and after checkin that is works i decided to use it but replacing the 12V lamp with a bright red led of 1,7V. The replacement was really easy. After i decided to light it up using a cell battery of 3,6V i didn't add any resistor. Then I decided to place it on the top on my helmet. So for doing this we need some tools....
