Great tips. Love the process. Would recommend measuring lux from 1m distance for a comparable value. Light is subject to the inverse square rule so proximity is king.
Great video mate! You covered almost all aspects. I wish you had also measured the total DC voltage output without any load attached. Optionally, a 1000uF capacitor would condition the output to a slightly brighter light/ reading.
Excellent hack and upgrade! Have MIL to additionally try using a helmet (mounted) light. The light tracks where she is looking, not the direction that the wheel is pointed. This is an amazing improvement. Much better visual information = much safer.
Awesome stuff, it would have been great to make a mod with an accumulator for stops due to traffic lights when the led stop lightening, I am thinking about it. Keep going, great video !
Good morning, I love this video and i wish to perform this conversion on my 50's bicycle . Question, could you please share a link to for instance aliexpress for the components required, this lens, power led and bridge rectifier + condensator are hard to find as the specs are not known to me. I thank you kindly in advance for the effort taken :)
17:21 Could you please tell me the name of these lenses or where to find them? Thank you BTW, 1 diode would be enough and you would have less voltage drop. Also using a resistor and a zener diode wold be a good idea to limit the voltage, or you can use a transistor current follower but in this case i believe you might need a full bridge rectifier it depends on the Frequency you have and the capacitor value you also have
Hello, look awesome !!! Could you please advise to select the right 4 bridges rectifier ? For information : For the led I found on Amazon with key words "LED 1W" And for bulb with key works "LED Lens 1W". I choosed and angle of 120°
I damaged this light because i converted it to direct battery system because the dynamo was not working properly but i connected the light to the laptop charger which damaged it and not turning on ,it was working perfectly with direct battery

Just a quick tip for cleaning brass and copper contacts, use a pencil eraser that way you just polish it up and remove the oxidation layer.

I did want to put a larger capacitor in, but I couldn't fit it inside, it's really tight for space!

Please a tutorial to fix an bicycle led lamp press button .. usual damage
Such fun to watch
I want this light without up gradation from where I can order

Amazon, eBay, AliExpress and likely many other Chinese web stores.
Do a search for "led lens 1W", or 3W, and you'll find various styles.
@@michaeltempsch5282 Awesome, thank you friend
Thanks for this. Great explanation.

Any bridge rectifier will work here, it's not high power so not critical.
@@NearFarMedia thanks
Do let us know MIL's verdict.
What wire you're using?
Excellent
hey Bro at the time 11:15 how to complete it, i opened it and i dont know how to complete it, please show me how to complete it. thank you Bro
Whats the name of this item?
It's in the video title, thumbnail and description......
Use Supercap
I damaged this light because i converted it to direct battery system because the dynamo was not working properly but i connected the light to the laptop charger which damaged it and not turning on ,it was working perfectly with direct battery
I'd say the 19-ish volts of the laptop charger was too much for the 3v bulb.
Maybe just a replacement bulb is needed.
@@NearFarMedia where should i get the bulb
