The updated version of the LED brake/tail light kit is now shipping, and the ballast for LED indicators is *this* close to finalised. I have a final test circuit on the bench waiting…

I got a call from a Spyder rider who had a problem with his reversing light switch. I pushed the indicator ballast aside, and put together a prototype of the new design of the reversing light switch.

It was very pleasing to see that it took up significantly less board space than the previous prototype. At this rate I might have to move into smaller premises. 😉

After final testing I’ll deliver and install it tomorrow.

I’ve been testing a headlight modification that keeps the low beam on when high beam is selected. This is in response  to one rider in particular who points out that while the high beam on the Spyder is bright, the beam is very narrow. Several other Spyder riders have agreed, so I have built and been testing a kit. I have to say that it does make a great difference to what can be seen when high beam is selected.

In the Pogotronics tradition, it is plug and play, no wires need to be cut or tapped into.

If the new owner is happy with the result, then I will order more parts and add this kit to the Pogotronics line card.

If you have a suggestion for a new product, or even an idea you’d like to talk about, please send me a comment in response to this article.

Pogo.

Update:

A week after posting this, I was contacted by another mate who wanted two reversing light switches. I was able to put together two more prototypes from the parts that I had on hand.

It is good to know that I can produce things that people need, and it encourages me to push projects along even when demand is quiet.
