Get the fuck out. This thread is about buying a cheap light with mediocre reliability and spending lots of money and time making them useable.Or buy lights with useable mounts?

LOL. Because saving money is overrated. "It was $600, but it had 'usable' mounts". Can you mount your Exposure lights attach directly to a GoPro mount?Or buy lights with useable mounts?

Buys new helmet to mount cheap lights to.....the plan is to get a new lid (Met Parabellum) that has an integrated camera mount (same as the Bell Super)... which will let me stick a gopro mount onto.
then simply attach the solarstorm with the mount in place.
I like the cut of your jib sir....Get the fuck out. This thread is about buying a cheap light with mediocre reliability and spending lots of money and time making them useable.
That would be great if you can Leon!!I bought an alloy connector off eBay for $10 because the first plastic one I tried just cracked.
I can take a photo later if required
Had to buy a new helmet anyway....Buys new helmet to mount cheap lights to.....
Haha no problem at all.....That would be great if you can Leon!!
Had to buy a new helmet anyway....
sold the stinking hot TLD A1 and didn't feel safe in the xc lid, and lusted after a Parabellum (which just happens to have a sweet inbuilt camera/light mount)
I don't see a problem?
great stuff Leon, Yepp! makes perfect sense!Easy.
Hopefully the photos make sense. If you pick up a GoPro connector it should be obvious where to chop it.
Thanks mate, but what is a RCD protection device? I'll get one if I know what it is.Sorry only new - I have not read this thread start to finish, so I don't know if anyone has mentioned this but as a person whom works in the Electrical field I would suggest that all cheap imported lights (Chargers and Battery's) be used with a local RCD protection device, save $100 but burn down ya house not cool
Cheers

A residual current device - it basically measure the amps going out and back and trips if they are not even by 30 milli amps (or 10 milli amps for different applications)Thanks mate, but what is a RCD protection device? I'll get one if I know what it is.
Incorrect (although a common misconception).The chargers have no earth pin. An RCD will not protect against the electronics shorting out or generating heat that will start a house fire. The RCD will only trip if there is a path to earth.
Correct: Will not protect against fire risk from overload or electric shock in every circumstance.An RCD may protect you from lethal electric shock, but I'm not sure it'll stop a house fire from crappy chinese electronics. An RCD will not protect against the electronics shorting out or generating heat that will start a house fire.
Thanks for clearing that up.Incorrect (although a common misconception).
It monitors the current balance between active and neutral only (thats how it offers you some protection from lethal shock - you are not connected to the earth pin in the GPO either).
+1 on the Gloworm X2V2 (mine is a 1200 lumen I have had for a couple of years).I have the V2 for bar duties (as well as the X1V1 for helmet duties). X2V2 is the 1200 Lumen one, if you've got the X2V3, that'd be the 1500 lumen one - updated led and lenses - sweet deal.
