OK...I am a total noob when discussing anything electrical...I am more at home in the mechanical side of life. Sorry...lol
What my project is...is I would like to replicate a modulating headlight from a motorcycle by using very strong, bright LEDs. I ride a bike and used to use the halegen bulb with a modulator and it worked extremely well. Using it, 7-8 out of 10 motorists would make eye contact with you as compared to 2-3 out of 10 when not using it.
I am now using HID headlights and you can't modulate them as you know. I don't feel as safe without the modulating light on the front..
So...my project is...modulating a set of very bright LEDs to simulate the halegen light used before.
Can this be done and can it be restricted to a 2 1/2 inch round area?
How would one go about designing this and making it happen? Again...I'm totally useless at this electrical excitment so please can you help.
Is there a free to use program that may help in designing it? What LEDs are best to use?
Thanking you in advance
