This picture shows the screw cut off the stake. Make sure to file off the sharp edges. The cast aluminum is quite soft, therefore it is not hard work at all.

Riding your bike at night is something that everyone should be able to afford to do. Therefore I have posted this set of instructions on how to make your own set of lights for about $30 bucks.

Helmet Cam Video
This helmet cam video is shot at night on the trail: Upper Oil Can on the Vancouver North Shore. It was illuminated by my set of Dual 50W lights.

DISCLAIMER: The instructions above are such that it is a DO IT YOURSELF project. As such, there is no claim your results will be similar to mine. When undertaking projects that involve electricity (be it AC or DC), please be advised, there is a definite risk of fire Hazard if construction is not done properly. Please follow instructions on the parts/components that you do buy, and test your device accordingly. Seek competent help and advice where appropriate. Also, mounting a light on your helmet, over the vent as instructed here will hamper your helmet's performance in a crash situation. I will not be held responsible for any injuries as a result.
