yourtoys7 Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I wanna add 2 strips of white led (front each side of the wheel) but they run 12v, what is the internal Msuper light voltage? I was thinking either internal connection or just have small battery like 9V and keep replacing as needed..... open to suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inductores Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 You can use some cheap DC/DC converter like this: https://www.ebay.com/itm/172649632257 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbx Nicolas Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 The LED for the front and back lights are around 5V, but you can find 5V LED strips such as the one used for the rear lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbx Nicolas Posted March 28, 2018 Share Posted March 28, 2018 The original LED seems to be 1W, I tried to replace it with 5W but it was too much, the motherboard couldn't handle such current and the motor was making noises and wobbling when in flash mode, alors the heat dissipation was not enough (even with added heatsink all around) I think you should not try to put a too powerfull LED light even though we all want it or you'll melt the shell and have issue while riding. (I could overheat a motherboard with just turning on the LED...) Otherwire I built-in a cheap aliexpress usb flashlight (~1800 Chinese lumens ?) On ACM and Msuper3 and it works great.

Joey Serrin Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 Good size heat sink on that bulb. My go to LEDs are the Cree XML-U2. Right at that cheap price point for bright light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tbx Nicolas Posted March 29, 2018 Share Posted March 29, 2018 On the MSuper3 above I made a bigger heatsink, I filled the gap with thermal grease on the sides and glued the parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
