leD FOR dYNAMO Front lamp

Post by QUIST »

Is it possible to replace a bulb (on a dynamo lamp front) prone to blowing -with a LED -I know about Zenner diodes?

Thanks in advance

I used one of these for a while:

No brighter than the halogen,and it kept cutting out but I never found any faults with the wiring especially as the original halogen always worked perfectly when I put it back in. Then I got a Solidlights and an Edelux and this became history.

I was going to offer to post it to you for free but sadly I trashed it trying to get it out of the lamp. I got it from Ultraleds but I think they don't do it any more.

All in all I wouldn't recommend it, I'd save some pennies and get a purpose-made LED light, some of them are so cheap now it's not worth tinkering unless it's for fun.
