Since we are limited with our minibikes power output I figured id look into LEDs to see if they are a good alternative to the voltage hogging incandesant bulbs were used to. To keep things economical, I ordered several differant types of LEDs on ebay, from china. Some require modifications to the headlight itsself, but this one is a drop in, especially the minibajas, which put out about 4amps or 35watts, it onlt cost $23 with free shipping. youll need a rectifier. The led has a 30 watt output/ 1600 lumens, but being a LED it draws less than one amp, and turns on at around six volts to a max of 36volts. It has a built in heatsink and cooling fan.
I still havent figured out the equvilancy of led to standard bulbs, but what looks like a small bulb, in the LED world they are much brighter than what im used to I.E 30 watt led equals over a hundred watts of incandesant light.
here is the one which is a drop in for the minibaja.......the picture doesnt show just how bright it is, its unbelievably bright, the blue recycle bin is about 100 feet out.
I have a few other LED lights which ill post up in the next week or two, and also see what I can find for a simple rectifier as well.
