I have made similar lights and housed them in 40mm upvc plumbing fittings - they fit pretty well after a bit of whittling!

Got it, thanks very much for a very informative piece. Really nothing to add, aside from keep up the good work!

Then I compiled a list of parts and began the process of building a reliable helmet light with a decent amount of runtime.

I’ve designed a wireless turning and breaking light that can fit your helmet, rack, vest, etc. If you are interested on the circuit just mail me.

Can you please send me the circuit. Thanks Brian

MR16’s are a little big for this - I doubt you would want anything more than a 5/10 watt halogen mounted on your head (due to the heat). I would go with an MR11 bulb which is smaller (also available with led’s - you could use a much smaller battery to power it as you need 12v but not the same ampage).

On my bike I run a 13.2 volt lithium ion battery with two 20 watt MR11’s mounted in VistaLight bodies for over summer as they hardly get used (which do get very hot - must have burnt the kids hand who tried to steal one a while back as I found it on the floor next to my bike - that’ll teach them for trying the lights before trying to steal them).

Over winter I go for two MR16’s.
