The bike is a great way of movement, the main advantages of which is every-purpose. Where the machine, scooter and other types of transport will not pass, the bike without any problems will swell and there will be no problems in this case. Each cyclist wants his bike to be the most fashionable and beautiful to be distinguished by his personality, and that everyone wants to have such a bike. So, let's talk today about how you can decorate yourself and make your bike ray, namely how to make a cool modern backlight.
Why do you need a backlight?
In addition to the fact that the backlight serves as an additional bicycle accessory, it is also a useful detail, so if you decide to backlight on your bike, "you will kill two hares at once."
So, the backlight functions on the type of transport:
- Beautiful
- Comfortable
- provide additional security
- create convenient conditions of a bike trip
If you are participating in various bike places, then the original backlight on your bike will become your distinctive memorable feature.
If we consider the functionality of the details under consideration more, then we can say that:
- It should be noted that the bright backlight is visible not only to other cyclists, but also to other road users, and therefore you will be Wine from afar to any driver of any transport.
- Tuuning bikes are stealing less frequently than ordinary, because it is much easier to find an individual and unique bike, so it is worth considering this fact if you think about doing the backlight or not.
- If you decide to sell your "handsome" with modern backlight, then you can do it more expensive than bought.
Views of highlighting
So, the types of lighting elements today are quite diverse on the market, each of them has its advantages that everyone needs to know who will have to make a choice in this matter:
- Halogen lanterns. In this case, an important factor is a greater consumption of energy, among other things, large and massive batteries will be required for this type of illumination.
- Neon-type flasks. This type of illumination is not too practical, because it is quite fragile, which means to damage them very simple.
- If you decide to put xenon, remember that this type of illumination is bright enough, so it can interfere with the cyclist.
In addition, it will be necessary to determine where the backlight will be installed. Most often, cyclists decide to decorate the wheel backlight, because in motion such a backlight looks very impressive. Often, LED ribbons are used as lighting devices on a bike, which clings to the frame.
Independent manufacture of backlight
In a radio shop, you can find a huge number of different diodes that are sold by weight. Place them in several ways. So let's find out how to independently make a backlight for a bike. We need:
- Diodes. For two wheels you will need 20 diodes. In this case, 5 mm will be enough. Color you can choose any.
- In order to determine the length of the wire, it is necessary to produce the following calculations - the wheel circle is multiplied by its diameter, it will also be necessary to multiply the result by 1.5 (such a stock should be done for each wheel).
- solder
- isolated ribbon
- soldering iron
- batteries
- acetone
- switch
So, now let's talk in detail about how to produce this process with your own hands:
- First you need to remove the wheel to which you decide to put the backlight.
- These places that are intended for diodes need to be treated with acetone (this is a prerequisite when installing a bike backlight). These places should be completely degreasing.
- Now places where it will be necessary to mount the diodes, wind by tape, do it carefully and very carefully. In this case, we are talking about the isolation of diodes from the metal elements of the bike.
- It's time to check + and - on diodes, so that everything is set to, as it should be, so that no problems arise when connected.
- The next stage is to fix diodes. To reproduce this process in reality, it is necessary to heat the contacts of the diode on the knitting itself, after which it will be necessary to freeze everything to be cooled.
- Now you need to connect diodes among themselves, for this we need a wire. The main rule is always to isolate contacts, otherwise there may be a lot of problems. It is clear that this process can be made without a soldering iron, but it is worth remembering that in this case the reliability will not be 100%.
- Wiring You need to output to the sleeve, where you need to connect all available batteries.
- Now it's time to try out your product in practice.
As you yourself can see and understand out of the above information. It is not difficult to manufacture the LED backlight for the bike at all, everything that will need for this:
- carefully examine instructions
- understand the whole sense and course
- prepare all the necessary tools and materials for this
- be able to keep a soldering iron in your hands and know what is the tape and diodes
- buy all the necessary devices
Now it's time to try to embody the conceived in reality, good luck to you!
