His lights will look like a pizza...I had a buddy way back made a nite ride light with a car head light. Battery set up was.heavy!
Looks like it will get hot enough to fry an egg on it. The heat off my SolarStorm X2 is pretty high and that's running two bulbs / Crees.Not sure if this has been posted before, but has anyone tried this setup?

It'd be a smooth ride. Pretty sure it'd vaporise anything in a hundred foot radius.Not sure if this has been posted before, but has anyone tried this setup?

A quick google search seems to show that 8.4V is the common voltage (actually I couldnt find any at 4.2, you sure thats right? - whats the charger voltage) for solarstorms, as it is for all decent lights designed for offroad use.OK now I am a little confused...
I was looking for a 1800lm to mount on my helmet to go with the solar storm I have for the handle bars, but then I noticed it came with a 4.2v battery pack, so I thought I would check what the solar storms came with only to find conflicting reports some sellers were quoting 8.4v and others 4.2 of various man for the battery packs.
I would like to get a new light with a battery pack that can be compatible with either light.
So does anyone know which volt battery the solar storms come with? Or doesn't it matter?
Go with 8.4v. Most are 8.4, and chargers are also one of the weak points and fail more often than the head unitsOK now I am a little confused...

Yes. Warning sign appears to be when they start to make a slight humming sound. I've had two fail on overnight charge, one of which actually had started to melt.Go with 8.4v. Most are 8.4, and chargers are also one of the weak points and fail more often than the head units
Yeah well these were the single light I was looking at for a helmet mount, description says 4.2vA quick google search seems to show that 8.4V is the common voltage (actually I couldnt find any at 4.2, you sure thats right? - whats the charger voltage) for solarstorms, as it is for all decent lights designed for offroad use.
Got mine in the post today, will test it out tonight. Will be used on the road bike.What are folks thoughts on these?

Let us know ASAP how they go, very keen to buy some for my wife's bike but would like a first hand reportGot mine in the post today, will test it out tonight. Will be used on the road bike.
No way in hell will I leave my SolarStorm chargers running without constant observation. They've been fine so far but I am not interested in risking waking up to my kitchen being remodeled by flame.Yes. Warning sign appears to be when they start to make a slight humming sound. I've had two fail on overnight charge, one of which actually had started to melt.
YEah, I gotta say, I'm pretty darned happy so far at how long my SolarStorms run for.The light that drops to 1 led ran for 2hrs 30mins. The other ran for 2hrs 45mins
Also has anyone found any ways to helmet mount a solarstorm or have another cheap solution?
I use cable ties to attach my lights to my lid. I'm going to switch to some decent rubber bands instead though as cutting ties each time I go for a day ride seems like a waste of resources.
Can take pics if you want.
Ok, used the sanguan thumb 1000 lumen on the road bike tonight. It is a very small light and is about the size of your thumb!Let us know ASAP how they go, very keen to buy some for my wife's bike but would like a first hand report
The bottom of mine isn't flat, it's arched to fit a handlebar. Doesn't seem suitable for velcro without significant mods.Look ok into some double sided velco!
works a treat
