Re: Re: DIY underbody kit tutorial

@ s14tilo: Well, I can't really say if its durable or not because right after I built it I canabalized the LEDs and made a second one. I made it longer, and drilled the holes the exact width apart that the LED posts were. Then I folded the posts over and soldered one LED to the next that way there was no fussing with the wire. It took probably half the time to make a bar twice as long. Then after it was all soldered up I ran a line of hot glue all the way along the solder lines so that it wont short. I affixed a 9v battery with a small switch. I took it out shooting with a friend and it made finding brass on the ground much easier. Plus once it got dark we used it to light the targets. 50' reflected off the target and it was still bright enough to easily see. In fact it lasted longer than we did, after 4 hours of shooting 30-06 my arm was sore and we decided to pack it in, it was still as bright the second I turned it on. If anyone does decide to do this feel free to ask any questions.
