man-on(e)-wheel Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 First: Changed the headlight SMD with about 80 Lumen(right) to 300 Lumen(left) output. The new one is the same like the SMD from Cateye Volt300. Forgot to make pictures before and after. Unfortunately... But it's really bright right now Now I just hope the heat dissipation works well enough Second: Add some SMD to the backlight. Second picture is the original LED strip. Third pic with the modification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted September 25, 2016 Share Posted September 25, 2016 Nice mod! Do you have any pictures of the front light on at night; before and after? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man-on(e)-wheel Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Sorry! Forgot to make pictures before and after. Unfortunately... But felt 50% brighter. Whereby the now built-up lens scatters more. So you can see more left and right and in curves for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swvision Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 can you please post where you got the new light strip for the rear light from? I want to do the same modification. I hate the rainbow lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man-on(e)-wheel Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Amazon EAN Code 0520800555161. That's the better one cause more LED on it. Next "version" for me is trying to do this with EL-film(electroluminescent film). I'll post the result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In addition with a resistor and a lens. I used the LED from my old cateye bicycle front light. It has 300 lm and that is enough for my. One guy used a 534 lm LED. But in my opinion you have to be carful cause that's a lot of heat too. And you'll dazzle others... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
man-on(e)-wheel Posted July 27, 2017 Author Share Posted July 27, 2017 Some other people told me, my front light is to bright and fading them. It's because of the bright-white Color and my 7° horizontal calibration. That's why I designed and printed a thing to prevent fading. Also made a thing that holds the additional LED-stripes in my rear light better in place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
