for lcd console of bikes ... u can use a cheaper option of using the neaon tube u get to fix below the bikes ... price ... RS. 200 - 300 for the choke and two tubes ... they are thin enough to fit in the meter console too and works on dc ... -
Whoa man! Neon for back lighting? Have you actually tried it out? These displays use simple LEDs. Just replacing them would change the back lighting colour.Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!Comment

yes i have tried them on LCD panels ... but not on the bikes ... i did it on my Pioneer CDJ 700s - they had this annoying orange light at the back / i looked for the Electroluminescent Panel / did not getone so tried LEDs ... it worked but the light spread was not even ... so tried the small neons ... it worked well ... n each 0f these sets only consume 5 w ... so replaces over 6 lights under on lcd ... with one tube ... n as these are cold light source ... no heating issues ...Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View PostComment

If iam not wrong we use LED displays and not LCD dispalys. Read somewhere in the bikes service manual i guess.
@ abhijeet
Is the job that simple that the meter can be opened at home and the new LED can be soldered then and there itself?Biking is not my Passion, it is my Religion!

Thanks for sharing the info.Originally posted by brokenbinil View Post
How much does it cost?
These displays are Monochrome LCDs with LED backlighting!Originally posted by rahul9985 View Post
It is theoretically as simple as that. But the LCD may need to be removed to change the LEDs. If the system allows this, its easy. (Some systems use glue to connect the wire to the LCD and those can not be removed and connected back.) Open you one up and see how it is! And, the LEDs used are SMD versions. (Like the ones found in mobile phones).Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!Comment

Ho!!! because of my bad soldering skills, LED bulbs are coming off often. Damn!!

congrats abhijeet nice job done...
i was going through the thread. i have a doubt. Doesnt the led light go off as soon as u switch off the lights?
During braking as soon as you leave the brake, the led doesnt get off or does it take some time to get off?
Originally posted by rider_rock View Postwhen you switch-off the light the L.E.D remains on for few seconds{5-7 sec} & completely goes off in 2 minutes, is this due to the use of capacitor or there is some thing wrong in my circuit, ie 4 L.E.D in series with 195 ohm resistance, 1000 micro farad capacitor 25v
or is this normal

If the cap value is too high, it may take some time. Just use a lower value capacitor as suitable.Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!Comment

ok..Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View Post
only the park lights will have this prob and not the brake lights, right?tђє รเlєภt รt๏г๓Comment

Actually depends on the LEDs and caps used. It can occur anywhere. But It is a problem only in case of brake light.
And if the brake light is on DC from the battery without any caps, it will not occur.Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!Comment

Abhijeet why you used capacitor in a LED circuit.Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View Post
AFAIK, Capacitor blocks DC and allows AC to pass through.Comment

Caps in series with source will block DC and allow AC. Caps in parallel will short ckt AC and allow DC to pass through!Originally posted by abhichotu.abhi View Post
In simple terms, it smooths AC signals.Your biking tells a lot about the person you are!Comment

I think it should be smooths DC signals.Originally posted by abhijeet080808 View Post

IMO. the actual word is "Pulsed DC". Ideal DC is already smooth without any ripples!

Exactly. Pulsed or Pulsating DC. Is a capacitor filter enough to smoothen all the ripples? Isnt "Pi" filter the best one?
