Wight Skipper Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Wasn't there a bulk buy of these a while ago? Any knocking around? If not where do they come from? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Dan Posted January 21, 2010 Share Posted January 21, 2010 Hi, I just bought one from here which I believe are the bulk buy lights. Dan www.solentse7ens.co.uk www.harbourcars.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Dan Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Hi, From their website: Frequently Asked Questions. Q. Will the SLD5 unit work with aftermarket ECU's? A. Yes, nearly every aftermarket ECU has a dedicated tacho output, from a 5 volts to 12 volts square wave signal is perfect to drive the SLD5. Q. Will the SLD5 unit work with wasted spark ignition systems? A. Yes, most wasted spark ignition systems have a dedicated rev-counter signal. This is ideal to connect to the SLD5 input. If this signal is not available, you can connect the SLD5 input wire to one of the ignition coils and select 2 cylinder mode in the set-up menu. This will ensure the displayed rpm matches the actual rpm when using wasted spark ignition systems as you are only monitoring 2 cylinders. Q. Is the unit easy to wire? A. Yes, simply connect the red wire to a positive supply, blue wire to ground and the green wire to the coil negative terminal. Alternatively, if you can access the rev-counter wiring, it would be better to connect to this. Q. Is the SLD5 easy to mount? A. Due to the very compact size of the unit, and the fact that all the electronics are in one enclosure, it can be mounted almost anywhere using the self adhesive Velcro square supplied. For a more temporary installation, a large blob of 'Blu tack' also works well. I haven't got round to fitting it yet (next on the list of jobs once the widetrack is completed) but it looks simple and should work on any engine.

philwaters Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Show how long I've been on here... We also did one from Shift-i which I got and used before selling on which is still going strong. I was very happy with it, I just got shift lights with my ECU and then with my new dash, otherwise I'd still be using it here Phil Waters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Myles Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I've got a fully-programmable set of ACES lights that I really ought to shift at some point (or put on the Blackbird). I switched to Shift-I on the Caterham - certainly a much lighter/smaller package but not as bright (or easy to programme) as the ACES. 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester Racing 7s Ecosse™ 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 Alcester-Racing-Sevens.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
