    You do get what you pay for.
    I feel worse about the GoPro cable as that was the same price as many other sites charge for theirs.

    I'm sure the guys at Crazed Pilot sell many great items everyday. They shipped my order extremely fast. I'll keep an eye on their site for other products.

    I inquired about the CRAZEDpilot LED lights and found that the 26 LED lights were rated at 250 lumens each and the 48 LED lights were rated at 400 lumens each. The LED strobe controller they sell is rated at 5 amps so this maybe a option for the wigwag effect. I've mountain biked at night on trials and built/bought LED lamps for this purpose. They are quite bright (some lamps claim up to plus 7000 lumens) and these units are quite rugged. They get beat around pretty good on the trail as well as occasional crash to the ground as well as tree branches trying to remove them from the handle bars and helmet; they are still going strong. These might be a option to explore as they are relatively inexpensive. Most though are less than 12 volts requiring a regulator.

    I agree, my comments were regarding the controller only for wig-wag with other brand LED lights. I'm not sure if the other "dissatisfaction" was with the Crazed Pilot LED lights, controller or both. The controller is pretty simple, the likely cause of failures would be overload or reversing polarity (also true of any LED controller).

    yes...i will give you "come back" of my led project....i check for 30w,50w and 100 w led chip ...but it work on 32 volt,,,so you need an tranformer
    but it is really bright...30 watt is 3000 lumen,,,50 watt is 4000-5000 lumen and 100 watt is 8000-9000 lumen...
    i will make a tes how far you see the strobe in daylight with the 10 watt....and if i dont like the result i will going with 30w with tranformer

    Here's another idea for you guys: http://www.amazon.com/3800lm-Outdoor.../dp/B009PWE6RW

    Already in a weatherproof housing, all you'd have to do is rewire the switching and power (which you have to do anyway) and mount them.
