I wanted to build a very bright strobing tail light for bicycle(and cheap), so i bought these parts. But i need help to assemble them. I have only one led and i dont want to damage it by doing a mistake. If i ruin a part, i will have to wait for another three weeks :shakehead
Driver: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1127407
Led: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1574704
Lens 1: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1108211
Lens 2: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1404701
Switch: https://www.fasttech.com/p/1135000
The led is red, it has lower operating voltage than white ones which is 2.0-2.5V. The driver can handle this? This is what i worry about most.
The driver has 5 modes. How do i switch between modes? The switch i bought is on/off. Is this correct or do i need one click ones(i have that kind too)
I will experiment with lenses once i get the led running. 60 degree lens will be visible from a far distance but i might use other lens to get some side visibility. Or i may use them both. Or i may dont use them at all. What you guys think, which would work best?
The driver feeds the led with 500ma at 1.5V and 800ma at 3.6V. I will use a single AAA or AA. Don't want to blind other drivers.
I will improvise to make the case, have some ideas which includes a lot of hot glue. Wont be really pretty, but thats not a problem for me.
Thank you all!
