Oh shit that looks super clean. Great job eliminating that big elastic band.

Tell me more about this little piece please… did it come with your helmet?

That came with the light. It’s on the elastic band. It happened to fit that part of my visor perfectly with some prying.

It looks like they were meant for eachother. Hopefully it fits my helmet as nicely. How easy is it to turn on and off with gloves on?

I’m nitpicking here lol

Not too hard. Just press the button on top of bulb. The rear flashing red is harder as you need to press and hold

@nadir35 They are U7 motorcycle headlights, will wire straight up to 10s or 12s batteries with no problem as they have a huge working voltage range.

Installed a switch on my enclosure so i can bend down while riding and flip em on.

Dirt cheap too, think i paid around $30 for the pair.

They are INCREDIBLY bright, brighter than my motorcycles HIDs, and the beam focus in my opinion is optimal for eskate. Sometimes i pick my board up to use as a light bazooka, the beam will light up a hill by my house a half mile away.

I recently bought some cree pocket flashlights off Amazon that you can find here, and am pretty happy with their brightness! I made some 3d printed holders for them that hold them to the nose and point them downward at a 2 degree angle, for use with trampa holypro/hs11 deck.

I love this idea and hope to execute as flawlessly as you have done.

the green side on/off button on the one you linked would be much easier to press. I realized mine was hard to press because I would have to lift the visor up, but the GoPro prevents me from doing it.

Honestly that was one of the selling points for me. Does yours have a twistable focus? I’m excited to try this out, gotta love that one day shipping

yes, the two pics above shows the two focuses, the one you linked seems to be a push & pull.

Wasn’t there a dude a week or two ago posting about his upcoming Matrix 2 light and mounts?

Looked really sleek and I can’t find that photo nor do i know his progress. I miss having a front light on my board.

I’m very interested in this setup too. Please keep us posted once you get your light. I’m thinking of doing something similar, but I was gonna mount the light/battery pack with some velcro so I can remove the light when I’m riding during the day.

What kind of helmet so do you have?

#379

I have the demon podium and will also be using Industrial velcro for the back block. @Mikenopolis did you double side tape the front light or does it hang on the visor by itself?
