MR16 E-Bike Light Enhousing

prusaprinters

<p>A simple light enhousing which I designed in OpenSCAD for all those MR16 LED spots I had lying around from previous bike lights. I printed them in PETG with 100% Infill. Time will tell how well they will last if exposed to the element. Even today with all</p> <p>those cheap LED lights available on Ali, Deal Extreme, etc. such MR16 LED insert IMO are still a valid option. They are very cheap, run from 3s up to 4s LiIo-packs and you can easily connect them to your e-bike battery with some of the cheap DC-DC</p> <p>stepdown converters. I soldered two wires directly to MR16 insert and made a knot in the cable to avoid slipping out. For glueing the light into the housing I used some marine sealent I had laying around from Sikaflex but anything should do.</p> <p>Mounting to the handlebar is easy by using any of the many adapters available from Busch &amp; Müller, Lupine, Supernova and others.</p> <p>Update: Since I broke of one MR16 lights holder during an accident I printed a repair holder which can be easily be attached to a light with small screws and epoxy. Also I added a modified housing with air slots for more powerful LED lights like the 7W Philips spot I recently ordered.</p> Category: DIY
