Looks awesome man. Let me know if you ever start mass producing them so I can buy one

I would maybe run one of these if it all lit up like this

I want it! Question tho, how did you keep the plastic pieces from falling into the lens when you ground down the plastic?

I didnt, I had to flush them out with water, and then pick out the larger pieces that wouldnt come through the holes with tweezers and a pair of needle drivers. I was worried about those bits before I started, but it wasnt much of an issue and they flushed out pretty easy.

This looks great! There is a lot of labor involved in that. Nice anywayz.

looks good... glad all the plastic junk got out of the housing.... looks good

Yep...start retro-fitting them yourself and sell them at a premium...I'd buy one.

So did you run alcohol or something else afterwards to keep the moisture out of the lens before you sealed it?

 

[drroy]

nope, flushed it, gave it a couple of swings to get as much water out as i could and the rest evaporated by the time i was done.

well i am just not that good at taking night shots of lights, of the many bad pics i took, this is the best one i could take, without the red light just completely washing out the photo.
