    Why pay a premium for low serial # on a light???

    The whole collectors busines aside I would go out of my way to NOT buy the first of anything as those things usually arent optimized, the manufactuting isnt optimized and the people assembling it arent experienced. Its much better to wait a little and then buy one that was made when everything...

    Need help with reflector shape for DIY

    thanks for the link! They do look nice but dont seem waterproof ... The LEDs will be used as DRL on a kids ATV and to provide some light for driving at night ... beam pattern doesnt matter much but ideally is spread a little ... :) Teax

    Need help with reflector shape for DIY

    Folks, after getting so much help for the question about which driver to use for an alternator application (Buckpuck) I am now one step further: My 10 Cree 1W LEDs arrived and also the reflectors I ordered... The application is lights for a kids ATV (must used super low power, thus LED)...

    Need help with driver for 1W Cree on 10-14V

    Dont get me wrong. I didnt want the ebay drivers, but wanted to understand how all that works. The ebay drivers should work in my opinion. Anyways, I called the people who make buckpucks and they answered all my questions (I recommend the place, great support). I want to be able to power 4...

    Most cost effective way of getting ALOT of light output for less money.

    I have seen cheap HID kits on ebay but have not heard anything good about them. For cheap but acceptable off road lights, look into hella 500. I had run 4 on my truck until going to lightforce lghts Teax

    Need help with driver for 1W Cree on 10-14V

    Also my ideas of a voltage regulator is that it takes any voltage above its output voltage and regulates it to a constant voltage that is desired... But who knows, maybe if the amps are fixed for LEDs maybe that doesnt work .. I am really lost. Here is what people told me: item...

    Thanks Torchboy :) I looked at the first from the list: http://www.sureelectronics.net/goods.php?id=343 It looks exactly like one I wanted to buy on ebay but the seller said it needs a constant supply voltagebuil. Do all regulators with a input voltage range alow fluctuating input voltages...

    Need help with driver for 1W Cree on 10-14V

    I looked at the bickpucks and other drivers and I understand that you have to run the correct voltage into those things, i.e. 4*3.7V if you run 4 LEDs and the circuit will keep the current where it needs to be to power the LED. But that wouldnt work if the input voltage comes from an alternator...
