Light system.

Hey guys I just purchased an ebike lighting kit from Amazon. It says it for 12v-60v system. I should be able to use a small 12v lawn battery right? Here’s the link to the lights:

Who knows, not I, but if you test it out, then tell us yea, or nay, and we will know that day.

Lawn battery is a little big, but a M/C batteries do come in small sizes. Makes them easy to mount.

Or Like the ones that i am running for over 5 years now...The first ones i linked to, I bought a pair of them and i use the both headlights and the one tailight from the set as my middle tailight.

The second link are my extra pair of tailights in the rear...The both front lights appear brighter than a cars headlights and the rears i put on a rapid flash and are also quite bright.

I can recharge them either by solar power or by plugging them into the wall every few months...Built in horn sounds as well...Look for the videos in both URL links...DAMIEN

After the first 4 years, 1 headlight failed on me...I let the company know and they sent me a free set anyways even after i told them it was 4 years old at that time...Can't ask for more than that...lol.

Do you think the harness will work with Lion batteries?

Where can I find more info on a lion bike system? I’ve searched the forum but no real luck on how to hook it all together.

@DAMIEN1307 hey show this guy that cool light system you showed us a few months back. I think this guy might want something like that.

Look at post #6...I already tried...lol...I think Zoom wants a more complicated setup with a wiring harness etc...Much more complicated and heavier than my setup which requires no wiring harness etc., even though they both run off of lion batteries...My lion batteries are all self contained within the units themselves.

The videos on the lights i use at least shows them lighting up in full darkness...I notice that his videos only show them lit up with plenty of light staying on in the background, no darkness use of the lights so i can't tell from those videos he has in his link if they are any good in the dark at all.

Any video on lighting should always show the lights running in darkness conditions if one is going to get any idea how good they really are in night conditions.

I have seen your lighting setup. Although it seems a lot easier than what I am trying to do I don’t think it will go with my build. I’m trying to find something more “motorcycle” style lighting. I can’t find any that have batteries within the units. Here is a preliminary of my bike. I still have to paint and some other smaller details but you get the gist of it.
