Default Great headlight/bulb combo for K10 forks, others with fork mounting brackets

So I got this headlight for my K10 forks: http://www.treatland.tv/chrome-headl...hrome-guia.htm and I paired it with this LED bulb: http://www.ledwholesalers.com/store/...&productId=439. I am running it on two 7.2v nicads, wired in series to produce 14.4v. At this voltage, the light draws 0.34A, and will run for over 4 hours on a single charge. I've opted not to build a charging circuit at this time, as it did not fit into my current build budget. I do have a 15 minute wall charger, so the light will run for much longer than it takes to charge the batteries. This bulb does not have a high and low beam, But I really must say I am quite impressed with the brightness of the light and the wide beam it casts. It casts a 180 degree beam, and reflects very brightly off traffic signs. I just thought I would post this for others with K10 forks or other 5" fork mounts for headlights.

60 LED's? That ought to do it.

Do you have a picture of it in operation?

Haven't gotten a picture of it in operation yet, probably won't until the bike is finished. I have the light mounted, but not the batteries, so it will be tough to get a picture of it lit that way. 60 led's is quite an impressive array to be sure.
