"Into the dusk"
20 minutes of Led headlamp, 3D effect skies, with Tornado thrusting ever onward into the gathering darkness!

It was a job to tell how well it worked, partly because of the amount of urban riding with street lighting, and partly because of the limited ability of your video camera for night work - I think you have commented on this before with a previous night-time ride video.
Are you happy with the result? Which make of LED did you go for?

Also interested in which LED headlight from where. Am considering one from 'classic-dyanamo-and-regulators', but interested in options.

Tom guessed right, The LED bulb came from pete at dyno & mag fixers.

Just bought the latest H4 version for the new Proj, and it's literally brilliant, but for any one using the H4 replacement, as opposed to the BPF version Scaly has fitted to Tornado, make sure the heat sink at the back doesn't foul anything else in the headlamp space. This is not a problem with a separate Lucas 700 type headlamp shell, but could be a problem with the speedometer in the RE casquette, though as has been pointed out elsewhere you can fit one of the wider inner headlamp rims the Indians have started using.

[center]I can vouch for Pete at dyno and reggy restoration. he has good stuff, and if there is any problem, he gets it sorted. Our man Mark put me on to him, and co-incidentally, pete also makes flashing LED bulbs for trafficators, so Kevin;s bulbs came from there too! See vid below).
It's them golden arrows again!
