LED Strips

[scgregory74]

OK, I searched the forum for LED's and all I could find was Headlight conversions. I'm looking at using one or two of the LED strips (like the ones for cars at autozone, about a foot long) on a bike. I'd like to run it off the smallest batteries to keep with the sleek lines of the bike. How would I do this? How many betteries would I need?

About 12" to 18" long, search the web for LED dog collars. They run off of a small button cell battery.

Are you wanting to solder your own out or buy premade strips?

I used a couple of different ones for my Flexliner build. Chainguard, headlight, and rear spring cover taillight.

I'd like to buy them pre made. to put on the bottom of the bottom tube and inside the fenders. Kind of trying to get that neon look that used to be under cars.... But on a bike. Checked out the dog collars, not really what I was looking for.... I will make my own if I have to... but dont know how :$

Most of us didn't know how until we tried it. Search around there are examples of working with LEDs and LED strips.

These are simple and inexpensive. Lots of colors. The zip ties that come with them are crap, but use your own and all's good.
