Battery powered lights

[_Iain_]

Looking for a bit of advice.

Basicly looking for something like this;

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Enduro-Lighting-Kit-Complete-everything-you-need-/250472186122?pt=UK_Motorcycle_Parts&hash=item3a514e410a

That'll last say, an hour? Doesn't need to have awesome lighting levels, just has to be on so I can actually get the bike home if it gets dark. My run home is all main roads anyway which can be ridden at night with no lights on (found that one out after a massive electrical failiure on the H100)

Was thinking that LED bulbs diddnt draw hardly any current, so are more likely to last the duration if I ran a few RC car battery packs or something?

All manner of things come to mind
Is this to fit alongside existing lights as an emergency measure
or on a say a bike with a daylight MOT or a work in progress?

I was in a big tescos the other day and they have cheap but highly
visible front and rear bicycle lights plus multi led white illuminators about 30mm thick that you could stick to a nonworking headlight.
In a pinch, these may get you home on well lit roads without getting pulled as you could argue you've made yourself visble to other road users.

If its a long term built in system you want, all sorts of options are open to you

Travel in an area with 30mph limits and streetlighting. Minimal lighting required.

Bike is a CR125 road reg'd on a daylight MOT. Well, will be soon enough. Daylight MOT's all good till you actually get caught out and end up having to leave the bike somewhere/get someone to pick you up.

It's gotta run a brake light, taillight and very very minimal headlight. Just about enough that I can bullshit my way through a police tug If I for example went round a mates house for a pizza and a bit of playstation after a days greenlaning.

Basicly, what battery and bulbs would i need to make this;

and this;

Run for an hour with no generator?

6v 25w BA20D headlight bulb & a low wattage 6v stop/tail combined with something like this; https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Overlander-3300mah-7-2v-NiMh-Battery-Pack-SubC-RC-Car-Boat-Bike-Tamiya-Plug-/251405404778?pt=UK_ToysGames_RadioControlled_JN&hash=item3a88ee0a6a

Is what i'd got in mind, get the brake light pickup from a banjo switch

If I could make it run standard RC battery packs, I could take a couple with me as spares if going to play at night then and theres loads of space in the airbox to make a holder for one.

the current drain for the set up you describe is 7.6 amps.

3000mA = 3A

I would be lookin @ a lead acid battery

This perhaps?

I'll look into stator kits and such but the idea was to keep it sub £75 all in

Does the bike have any kind of alternator as standard for the ignition, or is it a total loss jobbie with a battery to make sparks?

If there is some kind of alternator, find a way to get power out of it. If not, it must have some manner of battery, so use that as your power source.

I would avoid going down the RC battery route. A small lead acid battery will still last a good while and RC batteries seem to give good energy density at the expense of failing in an expensive and destructive way when you cock up the charging or damage them. Damage is a factor when you're using an off-road bike.
