I pulled this dying LED downlight out of my kitchen ceiling.

In doing so I realised that this downlight has an amusingly chonky heatsink and a nice lens.

So I made a front plate for it to turn it into a bicycle light. I think it suits the current cobbled together, solarpunky aesthetic of my bike.

Next job is to actually mount it!
