Cost for custom made running/brake LEDs??
« Thread Started on Oct 20, 2011, 3:33pm »

Hey trike owners: I received some prototype LED rear lights made specifically for the MAGNUM 300 but I'm sure will fit on the 150 and other trikes. Ed, on this forum made them. I am in the process of testing and will post pics soon. I talked to Ed and he might be pursuaded to make some for all of us if you guys are interested. Ed I know you spent a fair amount of time on these but the result is pretty substantial. I'll tell you right up front that I would pay you $80 or so for a pair of these without a whimper. I can't speak for the others that may have interest in these. The specs are as follows; The light fixture is 4 1/2" long 2 1/2" wide and 1 5/8" deep. There are a total of 34 LEDs arranged in 5 columns. 14 of the LEDs are used for running and 20 are used for brake...but you can configure anyway you please. I'll post pics soon with one light in the running configuration and the other in the brake configuration so that you can see the difference. Ed makes these on a soldered circuit board so they appear very high quality. Guys if you are interested please let Ed know and he will probably make you some. One last note: Ed any chance you might be able to make a custom running/brake light bar for the back of the 300 and 150's fairing?

Lee, I'll take a shot at it but I need to know what you have in mind for the light bar. Knee jerk says that it should go between the fenders just above the flairs. The bar should have two sections, on the upper, amber for the turn signals. The turn signals should have an option to sequence in the turning direction. The lower section should be basically the same as the the two tail lights but with a flash or possibly a sequencing option for the brake lights. I need to do some research on difference circuits that will provide the different options. I will also need to research different companies that can manufacturer the different components for assembly. I will follow up with some sketches once I get more information.

Ed: I was thinking about 2 rows of lights with every other one on the top row a running light and then when you hit the brake all the others come on for brake lights top and bottom. Similar to the third light on cars for brakes but incorporating running and brake in the complete light bar(s). I'll try to come up with a design on paper and send to your home e-mail. vr, Lee

Lee, I'll be waiting to see what you have in mind and if possible throw in some dimensions.

ed

ger42, which device are you thinking about.
The tail lights I can put together for you, but I haven't gotten the light bar to the drawing board yet so it's a while out yet.
