Thank you. I try to put leds in Honda Scoopy's. Would never think that the lights would be AC. 👍 I just found H1 AC lightbulbs with integrated coverter to DC.
Couple things not quite right about the rectifier: Firstly that rectifier looks like a 25A (not Watt) rectifier, these can handle 300W although you will need to strap it to a suitable heat sink if you want to draw that much current. You will only need one for all your lights and still have plenty of headroom. Secondly the output is not DC out of the rectifier, a full wave rectifier simply flips the negative half of the AC wave and makes it positive, the resulting voltage while entirely positive will have a very large ripple. To fix the ripple you need to add in a filtering capacitor, something like a 8000uF 50V capacitor. This will reduce the ripple greatly get your closer to DC, this could also allow you to run other accessories off the same power source, is fairly simple to add in a simple DC voltage regulator that will give you a stable 12V for a few dollars worth of components. A very important note with the capacitor, the polarity is important, make sure connect the negative side (it will be clearly labeled on the capacitor) to the negative terminal on the rectifier, if the capacitor is installed the wrong way they tend to explode.
Hi I am trying to do this using a dc boost converter and a bridge rectifier , would mind sending you my diagram and tell me if it's correct ? I'm trying to get power directly after the current regulator the bike has .
thanks for posting. i might actually use this on a bicycle, the cheapy bolt on electrical generator is rated at 12V but with a meter and the gears maxed out it jumped all the way to 39 V AC.
Thanks for the video! Do you have an extra battery connected to the rectifier from which you power the lights, or do you power the lights from the rectifier itself straight from the stock AC circuit?
Hi. Have u measured the output voltage after connecting bridge rectifier to ac current, how much it gives in idle condition and after giving accelerator. I had done this, the output voltage was 25v DC and after giving acceleration it was 40v DC, this is without any load. What should I do now.
@@vegasromaniac what I think it will be, because u might have connected to direct wire coming from alternator and I had connected to other wire coming out from rectifier going towards headlight.
i need to install led hed lights and a brake lights on a atv and it dc and need to make it work cant i use existing cables so i can use the switch on my handle orginal switch or do i have to add a switch
The LED headlight i ordered for my bike is a 16W light that takes between 10-30Volts for input. My stator gives out 12vac at idle but outputs to over 29vac at speed. Im assuming yours does this too so does the bridge regulate the output to a constant DC voltage or does that also change with the varying AC input?
with my first rectifier it did fluctuate , but than I broke it in a crash so I installed a new ac to dc rectifier and it has something in it, that kept the voltage around 12 all the time .
Vegas RoManiac so im doing this on a klx110 (pitbike) and it also has a low DC output voltage (about 4-5 volts) so im gonna use a voltage step up that will bring it to about 28v DC. It will be easier for me that way and cheaper. Thanks for the quick response tho!
this is a link to the led lights, better than the one I had in that video, I got them replaced these are way better www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ATSXPNW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00ATSXPNW&linkCode=as2&tag=wwwyoutub00ca-20&linkId=U26I3YGLWIWMPQ7H I don't have the part for radioshack sorry I just picked it up from the bin over there
***** Thanks Vegas. Think I found the rectifier here www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2062584 What switches did you use for all these lights and where did you mount them? Can you post a pic or maybe short video please? Btw, I have the '07 250f with the exact same tank.
Do you know by any chance how to connect that light bar on your number plate to a non battery bike? I have a 2014 rmz250 I have the same light bar just don't have a clue how to connect it
Great video... I'm trying to do the same on an XR650R (Euro). I want to put in a full bridge rectifier from the AC. But the AC for the lights is just one wire from the stator and an earth !! A full bridge rectifier NEEDS 2xAC inputs or the voltage will be halfed Where do you take your two inputs from ??? And where do you ground your capacitor/lights etc etc. Many thanks in advance. Great vids. Keep it up :)
I've watched it already. :) I tried a bridge rectifier from two AC wires from my stator today. I get DC however its like 40-50V .. I noticed you don't use any kind of regulator. Is your AC already regulated before rectifying ?? I've bought a conventional single phase 'four wire' reg ect' so I'll try that when its delivered. The capacitor didn't lower the voltage on mine.
good morning, is it posible to replace my stock front amber blinkers to some led ones like the ones they sell on ebay ? without having to install all these capacitor things
Cynthia Sosa yes, and this video has nothing to do with the blinkers, just put led's and will work fine .. the only think is that if they blink fast or don't blink at all you need a resistor on the blinker wire , some of them come with the resistor already in but if not you need a resistor or to replace the blinker relay with a led blinker relay ..
another thing i wanted to mention is that i bought a light bar 12 led.s its flood and spot u put a link on, i dont think i need to put any of the things u mentioned on my crf 250l i think its dc already? if so i just hook it up straight right?
Cynthia Sosa yes if it is DC than you are fine .. Make sure you don't go over the wattage of the bike of you overheat and burn the stator , if you light bulb was incandescent and 30 watt before and you put a 30 watt LED you are fine .. just don't Put 60 watt led .. on a 30 watt system, also you will know if it is DC or ac as soon as you turn them on , if they Flicker with the engine the system is AC, also if your battery goes down fast and your bike doesn't start , you exceeded the wattage ! Let me know how it worked out for you !
HELP!!!!! Vegas!!! Im trying to install LEDS on my 06 wr450! Do you have a tutorial on the install of the electrical components? I know this explains the why but I need to find out HOW to do it! Thanks!
***** yes, but isn't it true you do not need all these things? Just the wiring of the rectifier will do, yes? On all the fourms I've read they say nothing about capacitors or anything.
How can I find a capacitor like the one on your discretion??? Your link doesn't supply that capacitor anymore PLEASE HELP can't get my light working pleaseeeee
The problem with this is that the ignition system has to stay AC and half the AC current travels through the frame . This needs to be isolated from the negative side of the DC at the headlamp housing for example. I will soon be selling AC/DC converters with twin channels for high and low beam and built in capacitors especially designed for Motorcycle LED headlamps on ebay. With world shipping.
how to wire the regulator and i don't have a battery i want to make light on my 110cc pit bike with out the battery and i have the the yollow and white wire for the lights
Can you tell me the specs of the bridge rectifier or even show me a link of the one you purchased? Could you show me the wiring diagram for me to install it on my XR400? Love your vids. Keep them coming! Cheers
Ok, I'm confused...I thought main concern is about AMP draw...(?) If LED light bars are DC current, what's the advantage of converting from a connection past your stator, when you can connect the bar directly to your battery with a wiring harness & switch?

And Remember amps is not a concern if you run LED they don't have a initial DRAW of power, watt is what you need and remember the formula volt x amp = watt
I agree a rectifier will convert ac to Dc but it will be pulsating. You will need a good sized capacitor to smooth out the ripple. It will need to be a couple thousand ohms with a volt rating higher than your ac. Just trying to help..

Great vid. is it posible to install COB led bulb in a Honda C90 cub 12v?
how do you wire in the rectifier?
Can be install the AC-L10A rectifier module 5-35VAC to 7-50V DC universal card and capacitor 50v 4700uf its a complete module rectifier.
I agree a rectifier will convert ac to Dc but it will be pulsating. You will need a good sized capacitor to smooth out the ripple. It will need to be a couple thousand ohms with a volt rating higher than your ac. Just trying to help..
A filter capacitor is not needed for powering LED lights. If you are building a power supply, then yes, filter capacitors will be needed.
