LED flashing module
09/27/11 at 17:05:04

I have a few questions:

Is that huge block heatsink under the rear seat responsible for flashing the turn signals?

If so, can I replace it with something more efficient that works with LEDs? I replaced all lights (except headlight) with LEDs.

I'm trying to save power because I'm working on a project to add 2 more lights to the Savage. It can be done, I just need a bit more juice. I figured anything with a big heatsink is pretty inefficient and draws a few watts...

Thanks

Auto parts store, about $10 or $12 bucks...

Where is the flashing module then? edit: Okay, I got it. Thanks, Serow I'll need to get one of them. There isn't a more efficient rectifier out there, is there?

To the best of my knowledge the current rectifier does an excellent job of being efficient but you can probably find one that's better.

As far as efficiency goes... no one knows.
Not really been an issue.

The 3 phase generator developes up to 100 volts at 5000 rpm.
Yet we only see about 15 volts.
Unless I miss my guess (I'm no electrical engineer) it's using 3 zener diodes to clamp the voltage to ~15v and put + to + and - to -.
Unused voltage is shorted to ground, not very efficient but light and cheap.

Bottom line: I'm looking to save (or gain) 20 watts of power, excluding any light mods. I already took care of that. Any ideas?

Re: LED flashing module Reply #7 - 09/29/11 at 05:38:44 Yea, get another battery & capture the V shorted to ground, If its shorted off before its rectified to dc, build a rectifier & run it thru a regulator, you can get a regulator out of an AC alternator for about 10 bucks from an alternator shop.
