DIY $20 1 watt LED dynamo light:
I was at "Ocean State Job Lots" and spotted this
A little 1 Watt l.e.d. light powered by 3 C-cell batteries for $8.99
I bought it right away.
In the middle it separates, and reveals the guts.
I took a cell phone charger apart to create a rectifier from the 1N4007 diodes and a capacitor.
This works, and is bright, but is still not as good as my cheapie B&M Lumotec
What To Do When (you don't have the little cable stops)
Another little hack, if you are like me then you have a spare parts lying around.
I used a spoke nut (nipple) as a cable stop.
the cable
a spoke nut ( nipple )
crimping with a Leatherman
the finished product!
