I ride a bike to work.
I ride a bike home at night on an unlit country road.
I use a 5 watt LED bike light which gives a feeble spot of light ahead of my bike.
So, I think to myself "what if I had a brighter light on my bike"
I think to myself "what if I had a really, really bright light on my bike"
Hey, I'm Tesladownunder, "what if I had the world's brightest light on my bike"
What would it take?
I have experience with a huge 100W LED that is brighter than a cars headlights.
But that is simple to do and I have already done that almost as a joke.
But what extreme can I take this to?
Lets make a real project of this and give it a real budget - say $5000.
So....here it is, ladies and gentlemen; welcome to the Worlds Brightest Bike Lights.
How bright? 100,000 lumens. Remember that figure.
and here is a starting point at 8000 Lumens!
