Ned Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Cheaper than Jaycar by a fair chunk. I wonder what my staff price on them is Check. I can get them for $28 (plus shipping) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10Speed Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 most auto spec led's probably won't run so happy at 6v... when I converted my bikes to LED lighting I convert to 12v + dc regulator/rectifier... and even then on one of them with only a 10w lighting coil I still get a pretty obvious strobe at idle via the headlight... I converted my sealed 6v to 12v tower led with jb weld a while ago... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phr34kr Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 If you are having issues with 6v get one of these, http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-DC-to-DC-Converter-Boost-Step-Up-Module-Wide-Voltage-Input-2-5-25V-to-5-25V-/280875852880?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4165816450#ht_4477wt_1163 then you can step up your DC voltage source to whatever you wish (i would suggest regulating it before the boost converter) . Some guy was selling them on trademe however they were about $25 each + shipping. They are good however (needed 3 on very short notice) was running a netbook (19v) off a 7.2v battery with ease.

Ned Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just go online and find a 700mA buck boost LED driver. You feed anything in and will drive an LED perfectly at 700mA. It is the correct tool for the job, 100% Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
