Knowing that someone (not going to mention names here) is trying to copy our LED's and still doesn't know the circuitry, does it really make sense for us to tell everyone?

Watrd knows, you get what you pay for.

 

Well of course that question was not directed to you Kyle , but if you change your mind we'll take any design secrets you wish to share. A little competition is good for the consumer. Most of us are DIYs here so naturely we're going to try and do it ourself, especially if it can be done for cheaper (not saying it can be).

 

Hey Kyle, how about a Yotatech group buy price? I bet we could get together enough people for 100 lights just here on Yotatech, then there is 4x4Wire, TTORA, Custom Tacos, Offroad.com, etc...IF the price was really good of course.

 

Haha, nor would I expect you to disclose proprietary info. Anyway, I'm certainly not going to market these things. Like everything else in our sport from building bumpers to putting together a DIY SAS (rather than a kit) there are some of us who like to fiddle around and make things ourselves.

Kyle, you guys should look into the new luxeon K2's that just came out. 130 lumens priced at less than $5 for the emitters.

 

An interesting comparison between the Roundeye's LED's I use and the Superbright version being discussed...

Good link, thanks

 

Hi Mt_Goat,

Here's a link check it out.
http://www.pirate4x4.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453940

If you are a member there or on reno4x4 or jeeps-offroad you can get this deal.

Would love to hear what you think.

 

Hi Watrd,

great product, i'd love to get some of these, but i just cant see spending $200 for those

 

Man, I wish I had some money to spend. I would love to have some backup lights that are roundeyes.com. You could just find some sturdy way to keep 'em on your hitch and they wouldn't get ripped off on the trail...

 

Thanks, but I'm not a red star member. I'm a no star member I guess:

Lesse... so, we can pay Pirate $20 for a year of abuse ( free red star included ), then get the discount price from Roundeye. We could still save $2.70!

 

Hi Midiwall,

Thats what I'm talking about. Great idea.

But if your a member on Jeeps Unlimited or Jeeps-offroad or Reno4x4 you can get the same deal. Just by being a member.

 

Actually I could copy these things in about an hour, but I won't give any details since I fully endorse Roundeyes products.......

I know which LED's are being used and exactly how to wire the circutry, too easy......

 

Yeah... I'm there with ya'.

I found a nice source for ultra whites, but my concern is "bullet proofing" them for mounting. I'm thinking of just pouring acrylic over them. The small 2-part packs from the craft store should easily do quite a few. Dunno what that's gonna do to the beam pattern though.

I may play.

 

actually an easier way is to make a rubber mould with a taper cone that can slips over the LED lens, then using resin to fill it in, making them waterproof.

BTW they aren't the standard Ultra Whites.....................

 

and... off to PM or email we go.

 

Nice job on the mod!! I'm a total fan of LED lighting as well!!

I like the ones you posted up though... They're potted (buried in epoxy) so they're waterproof and shock resistant. I may have to do a set of white for inside and 2 sets of red for underneath. Hmm...
