High Powered Light For Mountain Biking at Night(DIY)

[@111000100101001]

Very resourceful and creative! God I remember ~15yrs ago when some Mtn biking buds suggested I try ‘night riding’, I thought they were nuts. I instantly fell in love with it. So much so that I started building homemade light sets from halogen landscape lights and stripped old laptop cells. Old trails that you’ve ridden for years suddenly become a totally new experience at night!

So true, riding at night is awesome!

[@davron12]

Wow! I just binge watched a bunch of your videos. Frickin' amazing! You don't look like you're even old enough to be driving a car and here you are building and repairing all kinds of cool things that I had no clue about when I was your age. Keep up the great work!

Thanks Davron! You wouldn't believe it, but I am actually 20!

[@HilaRah]

Works great.

[@exiled1gaming]

Nicely done

[@larryshaver3568]

WOW, that is one bright light

[@TannerTech]

I know, right?! It needs to be extra bright when mountain biking in the otherwise pitch black night

[@X862go]

Good build

[@zen35x19]

[@prabhakarratnagiri7265]

Highly creative🙏🙏👍👍

[@thesolderingbot4718]

Why didn't you put heatshrink on the potentiometer solder joints :(

[@phonotical]

Add a counter weight to the back of the helmet maybe? The led takes 31v? Not 32? That's weird "killiohm" 😅

[@glennstarkey570]

I love your videos can you make a video on how you made your Desk it kid of looks like great scots

[@thepurdychannel8866]

Use a 55w hid ballast from ebay that would be bright

[@nayakacreativity3639]

This is led not hid, it can't use hid ballast

[@thepurdychannel8866]

@@nayakacreativity3639 i have seen a hid xenon spotlight on ebay its green and it has been reviewed on youtibe and the beam it shines out shines for miles its the same bulb used in helicopter spotlights and the blue, white car headlights

Great job! one question though, I didn't see your cougar repellent! Shouldn't you be armed at least with some bear mace, air horn, or even a firearm? Riding in the mountains @ night seems dangerous.

[@TannerTech]

It is a bit dangerous. There are coyotes, and mountain lions here, but they are mostly scared of people. I think they would be especially afraid of this light. I ran into a coyote the other day and didn't have any problems. It was too busy eating a rabbit.

[@phonotical]

What if you fall and hurt yourself when it's dark, or get distracted by a sudden sound, I don't know, it sounds unsafe, like a blind guy driving on the freeway

[@Darrelmakes]

Can you show is how to you edit your great videos

[@TannerTech]

I use adobe premier, I may make a video on how I do that someday.

[@obnovec]

Looks scary :-D
