Hi Guys,
I saw a diagram of a LED Headlight for a Motorcycle. So I tried following it's instructions.
I've used these:
72 pcs 5mm LEDs
120 ohms 1/2 watt 12 pcs
also created a rectifier to convert the AC to DC:
50v 100uF Cap
4pcs IN4007 diodes
so here is the diagram: ( sorry I just did it in mspaint )
The lights are so bright and I tested them on standby for 2-3 minutes.
The problem is the resistors heats up that you can't touch them. I'm worried if I use my bike that these resistors might burn.
Can you please tell me what resistor should I use or what are other options I can do? Thanks!
