Vehicle LED thing.

That's not a vehicle light, but a bicycle one. That bracket is pretty much a standard bicycle light bracket. The light can easily to be connected to the bicycle dynamo, because it'll work at a lot of voltages. The thing will also drive you nuts with the AC causing the light to strobe at low speeds.

I’m in the Texas, USA Shipping isn’t to bad I think but if you get to go to IKEA there 6 watt led GU10 bulb is a great color temperature

Hi Jake, where are you in the world? It can be quite expensive to ship things internationally. I may try to get to IKEA when I'm back in Glasgow. (We don't have an IKEA here.)

Love your led videos, I would like to send you a ikea led I got from there, it is a very nice warm white I would say it is the same color as a halogen GU10. I would like to send you it :)

From experience making bicycle lights, you can get away with running low-voltage lights like that without much waterproofing at all for a surprisingly long time. Bike lights have a very bad time of it as far as weather goes - vibration, temperature extremes, much getting sprayed up from underneath as well as rain from above. One of my longest lasting DIY ones was a Cree star bolted to a lump of C-section aluminium, then key bits covered with transparent conformal coating (or "nail polish" as we call it down here). Conveniently a 5W white LED draws about 0.5A and a hub dynamo puts out about 0.5A (and it's almost a perfect current source despite the "6V" label) So that light... nail polish on the soldered joints will go a long way to helping longevity. But even without that it'll last quite a while if it just gets rained on (ionic water not so much)

It depends on where you are. I think static blue lights are OK here, but not flashing.

Does anyone else find themselves talking to the screen during these videos? "You should try connecting... oh - right - it's pre-recorded. :p" Maybe we could persuade Clive to do a live streaming video once a month or something... Maybe on weekend afternoons so it would be reasonable for most time zones...?

I thought only the Emergency Services were allowed to use blue lights on vehicles. No joke.

wow that is inexpensive for what you get... as long as you understand what you are getting that is. :D

Hi :)

Interesting possibilities.
