The Edmonton Bicycle Commuters' Society occasionally runs in-person courses on designing and building your own custom bike lights: this design or one customized to suit your needs. This light is the same brightness, about 600 lumens, as the "Three P4" design here: edmontonbikes.ca , but the design in this video is cheaper and easier to build and use, and has a cleaner design.
