Building hipo led-need help

[shiftngeer]

I need dc volt and driver building guidence. If you can help me identify my led's and needs/direction, the second light will go to you!

I work for a company that produces led lights, therefore i have many used parts available for lights.


Please help!

Thanks dg

This thread has some info but doesn't come to a conclusion on the xml's.

If ya post pics & description of what ya got there's some electrical talent on the forum that can help.

Im lost. I have a EET degree and Im not following you.

ive done leds before and you need a 12v dc rectifier , and you need a led load simulator wired inline with the leds. Your LEDS use a fraction of the power a standard filament bulb uses , and thats great BUT it can't handle the sloppy voltage that is supplied to it by the Blaster's Stator and less than stellar rectifier it uses. You can run your headlight power to a seperate dc 12v rectifier . Then a LED Load Resistor needs to be wired in ( keep it away from your plastics because they get hotter than a MOFO). the load resistors job is to only allow the 3-5 watts that your LEDS need to run , the resistor absorbs voltage spikes so you don't toast your bulbs . and your lights wont pulse with the changes in engine rpm .
Look for a 12v dc rectifier that produces a high quality , stable current . The ones that are recomended for operating/charging electronics from a 12v source .

YAY I Win?

My apologies for postin an incomplete request.



Pics to come soon

Sometimes it's better to run an independent battery system. Why?
Because my leds at 12v is nothing like them at 16.8v.
Jes puttin that out there.

Yikes ... hope that's not completely true. I'm setting up my system with a 12v battery, trail tech regulator/rectifier and rewound lighting coil. The drivers for my LED's are supposed to handle up to 16v and drive the lights close to their max. It is a independent system but I'm going to be real disappointed if they're dim at 12v.

I doubt they will look dim at 12v's so your good. Mine are rated up to 18v.

tuning in, not going to be a lot of help but i would like to run LED's on my rig in trail mode

I think the stock Blaster light is around 600 lumens. I'm hoping for around 3000 lumen from 3 cree xml's. 2 in adjustable focus housings and 1 fixed in a Trail Tech housing. Figure it may take around 45 watts for these. Will also run a thermostat controlled fan, Vapor and some other small leds. Probably over draw the charging system a bit at night but the battery should carry it for a long time. I don't really understand this stuff so I'm reading what I can find and hoping for the best
Interested in seeing the parts "shiftngeer" plans on using.
Maybe one of our electronics wizards will do a start to finish battery & light how to for dummies like me ... hint ... burp

Nice choice for the led and good thinking on the cooling fan.
Keeping them cool for anybody looking into building some should not be overlooked.

Sorry bro, got no idea what ya got there.

Hahahaha ... not as smart as ya thought I was ... LOL ... the fan is for the motor ... using large heat sinks & thermal slime on the leds
