VoodooQuad VDQ250 Dual LED Headlight Holder - Brighter than LED Strips!

thingiverse

The XDU200 light beam shoots up the dark sky or helps you determine direction during daytime hours. The XDU200 light unit was designed to snap easily on or off, saving weight when necessary. It weighs 15g fully assembled with LEDs and bullet connectors. For use with this style of LED visit eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111207584209 Amazon: http://amzn.com/B00LBNOQ3C The diameter must be 11.8mm or 0.45" to fit perfectly. Remove the plastic lead casing. The front standoffs should measure 37mm center-to-center and have a diameter of 4.8 mm to 5mm. This unit was specifically designed for the XDU200, but it can fit other models as well. If it fits your quadcopter, great; if not, you can either remix this design or request a custom remake with exact measurements in the comment section. Follow these steps to install: 1) Verify that this unit will fit on your quadcopter. Although designed for the XDU200, it may also fit other models as long as the standoffs measure 37mm center-to-center and have a diameter of 4.8 mm to 5mm. 2) Buy similar LEDs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/111207584209. Make sure the diameter is 11.8mm or 0.45" to ensure proper fit. Remove the plastic lead housing from each LED. 3) Use Amazon for similar products: http://amzn.com/B00LBNOQ3C 4) Solder a small-diameter red and black wire onto the LED1 component, then insert it into the part. I removed the leads and soldered directly to the PCD without heat-shrink; if connecting through the lead, use heat-shrink tubing instead. The polarity does not matter on the provided LED but double-check before connecting wires. 5) Guide the wires through one of the two 2mm holes at the front, tightly crossing it with the second 2mm hole to secure in place using superglue for hold-in. 6) Install and solder the wires onto the LED2 unit, enabling a sliding heat-shrink to be fit snugly around both wires and leads. 7) Install bullet connectors on each lead; after soldering, add heat-shrink insulation covering all exposed wire ends. 8) Install the 12V supply line and ground wires of your quadcopter to their respective places in these male side connections for protection when the headlight isn't mounted. Cover your female bullet connectors securely with heat-shrink tubing. Make sure to fully insulate wires, using electrical tape if necessary to prevent accidental shorts during flight or storage when this light unit isn't fitted.
