Yeah, many use the battery lights ....

I am retired, so I do it in daylight ....

Also retired, but I was also a Boy Scout... Be Prepared!

 

Well done, looks good.

Cheers.

 

Boy Scout and 4-H, old and bored as well...

 

Nice job! That’s a clever fix.

 

Both you guyz that used the LED's, I gotta question:
The vibration from the auger housing doesn't interfere? Really? Or did you do something regarding cushioning of the fittings you used?
Inquiring minds want to know...

I/we did yes and hmmmm, good question!! Nope, no cushioning here.......

Interfere? As in the vib make the light beam act funky? or the vib break the LED's/LED assembly?

Well, I don't see the vibration in the beam per-se and,

I guess I never considered vibration breaking it, not sure why, it honestly didn't come across my desk as being an issue to consider I reckon.....Perhaps dumb luck? Not sure, but mostly, the bucket didn't seem to vibrate so much so to where I figured it should be considered.

But ya know, since hindsight is always 20/20 eh? Being's the LED's themselves are solid state AND, the LED bar/s are designed for automotive use by nature, they inherently should be fine(beam wise or breaking) with moderate amounts of vibration, be it from a truck bumper or snowblower bucket.

This might seem a bit too personal, but maybe your bucket whirley bits are off balance?

 

I have covered this a few times on this site, one forward, one rearward, mainly to be seen, powered by a 35Ah AGM kept on a Battery Tender 1.25A maintainer.

 

For those with a metal control panel I use something like this. Rechargeable LED light with a magnetic base. Have used one on my old Honda 80 for past two seasons.

You know, they make pretty good headlamps these days.

 

I installed this light on my HS35, as the finishing touch after restoring that free-on-curb machine to full functioning. It has Low and High beam functionality, or both settings can be used concurrently. The light is remarkably bright for what it is, particularly when I'm using the blended Low/High beam illumination feature.

As someone who grew up with those little incandescent flashlight bulbs powered by two C batteries, today's lighting technology is improved by an order of magnitude.

 

My first memories of flashlights were my Dad's OD Green military flashlight (the standup one with the 90° neck), and a big red one that took one of those big square 6V batteries.

Pretty happy today with my collection of Fenix flashlights. Been carrying a Fenix LD01 on my keychain since 2008, has never failed me. $45 for a AAA flashlight seemed like crazy money in 2008, but it's stood the test of time.
