Mountain Bike Light
Dubbed "DayLight"
I enjoy mountain biking. A lot. However, I have never been night-riding, and have heard it is a lot of fun.  The only problem is that decent lights are not cheap!  I went the "cheap" route, and built my own.  While it does look a little bit junky, fear not, as this is just the first prototype and test.

Water bottle used to hold the switch, batteries, and driver.

Using 15 degree lenses worked quite well.

Nearly completed here...the only thing that wasn't finished at this point was a protective lens on the front.

Adding the outer lens to keep everything protected.
