Cheap Portable Lights

[Piranha2]

I just made this "light box" up for when we're out till dusk.

Verry nice! and realy handy to find your way home...


You run it on 3AA ?

wait.... you meen your rig is still together at the end of the day? i don't need lights. i have a card board box..

I use a 9 volt and 4-10mm LED's, it's all self-contained with an on/off switch.


Yeah, she's been doing pretty good lately, but we're pansies, we don't do 30' drops .......and we have about a 1 mile walk out of the woods. Plus with quads and dirtbikes the lights and sound help them know we're on the trail.


And the pictures don't show but it illuminates an area about 6' x 30'

UPDATE, 1 bad asphalt rollover and the "lightbox" is GONE.....oops.....well, I made new lights, 10 - 10mm LED's, weird thing is check out the shadows????.....anyways, this one is powered by the stock 1500mAh receiver pack seperate from the 4500 for the radio and it's pushing a couple of WATTS of power...NICE.

Close up? I'll post up the underside tomorrow.......did you see the "cat" in the shadows?

ya, i wana see how its wired to the body and stuff. i have under chassis lights on my new rig as i do late night rc'ing in the parking lot, but i have a hard time determining which way is front to back when its far away. that reflection is freaky!! its just the way it shines thru the bumper? its in all the front pics. looks like a HUGE freaked out cat!!

I was thinking about using bicycle lights.

"p".. it looks like you have the stock body on.. what happened to the asgourd?

 

[ZielkeRacing]

I like that! Nice and bright. Now I can piss off my neighbors at night time too!!

 

[Piranha2]

I have the Asgard for daytime running and the stock body (because it has a flat face for mounting the LED's) for nighttime.......oh and Z, you will piss everyone off.....if you think these things are loud during the daytime, at night, it's 10 fold!!!!!.......I also upped the current 15 times what it was, so these are SUPER bright!!
