  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

I love the LED age.

Let us know when u try it at night as I do the odd arvo ride in summer and end up coming home on dusk/night
 
I see a lot of LED and energy saving light bulbs advertise the brightness equal to a conventional bulb, maybe it's equal to an 80w conventional bulb in brightness but actually doesn't draw as much as the stock bulb.

Yes. The one I bought is advertised to draw only 7 watts.

Will be interesting to see how long it lasts. Amazon reviews many show the fried in a few days.

Wow, that's too much $ that they are asking for on Amazon!
Well if worse comes to worst, I can always wire it directly to the battery with an on/off switch. That's what one guy on our local dualsport forum did with his, after he installed it and it "strobed" at lower RPMs. He has been running his for a couple of years now that way with no problems.
 
I have just bought one for my son's 125, he needs better light than the stock cause he rides back from school at night, I will tell you how it works on the 2st when I get it

Thats an AC only system so it might not work.

Oh, I did not know that. I will give it try. Hopefully it will work on one of the huskies. If not, no biggy. I am no expert in electricity, as far as I know, my son can switch on the light on the 125 without running the engine, while I cannot do it on the 510 ( it needs to be running ).

Led emitters are listed at the equivalent incandescent rating. It's the easiest way to market them.

The last I looked into it LEDs are DC friendly but there are bulbs/lamps available that can keep the bulb from blinking/cycling rapidly due to the cycling of AC current.
On many alternators/dynamos there are both AC and DC taps.
If there is no DC tap or battery Trail Tech and others make a rectifier/regulator for AC output only alternators.



Good find DD! I'm going to order a couple:)
 
All the new Christmas lights are led,and that plugs in to the house ac circuit. Funny; that explains why they seem to strobe out of the corner of my eye.
 
My testing could be a little delayed, my son has just crashed on his way back from saturday running practice. No big deal, a couple of scratches and bruises here and then on the bike and rider, but his mother and I are now a bit reluctant to let him ride whatever the weather is ( today was lesson 1: sm tyres don't work too well on snow... )
 
I have this LED worklight on my bike, works perfectly!

We have two amazing prototypes, both flamethrowers and well designed. Not sure if or when they will be produced. We are highly focused on computer development right now.
