Then it was on to the head light, which I wanted to look a bit more modern and be seen on the water !
First the materials, two tubes that fitted inside each other
Three pieces of the larger of the two were stuck together and top cover added
Resistors were then soldered on,as you can see there is a collar on the led
Plastic collars fitted with the smaller tube , this stops the led moving about inside the larger tube.
It works
And its all down to instructions from son John trained electrical engineering draughtsman, that learning was not wasted then!
Three soldered together, resistors on positive leads covered with shrink wrap
Gives you an idea of the size of the unit, and all made a lot easier with the soldering talk and demo from the club meeting the other week by Geoff !!
The finished unit, finished for the electrics that is , needs cleaning up and painting and wired up under the roof
Looks a bit like the robots head in the movie "Short circuit" doesn't it
.
And it all works as you can see with the battery box attached and a good light given out!.
