just wanna try making a simple light worthy for offroading at night in the local trail....wanna ask if anyone has a step by step guide or general guide/manual around to help? i am new at this DIY light stuff (i kinda suck at electronics) but have some experience with machining and plastics. Main reason is i cant justify spending a significant amt of cash on lighting and i would rather DIY and learn some skills at the same thing. Thanks in advance!

Find Achesalot. He has a link to his website that is very comprehensive. Lots of links for parts and good step by step instructions. Look around, there are some outstanding machined lights as well. Thanks to everyone who has taken the time to post their light creations here!!

I suggest that you make the pond scum light instead. It's just as powerful, but it is much easier to make, plus it's parts are easier to find and cheaper too.

Check the top of the "bike lights" forum. It's a "sticky" so you can always see it. It's right below the big ad on the top middle.

I have a new copperhead triple LED design that is fairly easy to make.
My DIY guide is at bikeled.org

There's a new home made lights database in the bike lights section, it's great for picking up some ideas.
If you do make a light don't forget to add it. Oh and good luck.
