Batman light – hybrid version (Version 3)
I’ve mentioned a few times this is a complicated build process with a level of risk (one mistake stuffed it) and each time I make one I mull over possible refinements – can I do this bit a different way to make the next stage easier etc.
Well…I’ve come up with Version 3 that combines the battery version with the USB version to create a new hybrid battery version – confused ???
Getting late will finish this post tomorrow…

Cruised through the afternoon session with several breaks without the worry of ‘when will those bloody lights arrive’. Will finish ERIK in the morning and then onto KEITH. PJ next up.

Now that the LED strip lights have arrived I can grab the first bat set off the bat pile and continue on working down that first lot of bat orders.
Country property sign enquiry from NSW.
Al’s Workshop update
My first country property name sign enquiry came in this evening – from NSW.

Finished the NOAH & KOBE USB lights, they will likely fly off in the direction of Geelong tomorrow afternoon.
Also had some more Batman enquires with two confirmed and happy to wait for the battery LED strip lights rather than USB – slow boat from China.
Finally got a AustPost status update on those bloody lights I have been waiting for – expected delivery now 14th – 15th.
After spending time getting answers from Kmart that the USB LED strip lights 3M are due end April early May. I checked this evening and that item has been pulled from the website, the 5M is still available but don’t want that – bugger. I’ll just have to rely on the Glen Iris eBay supplier.
Interesting that while responding to those new enquiries people are interested in the USB version with on-board rechargeable battery so I’ll pursue the Powerbank thing some more.

Installing KOBE’s led strip lights, this will be finished around lunchtime tomorrow at which time I’ll happily contact the customer who is coming from Geelong to collect.

Easter Sunday morning session out in the workshop instead of in the kitchen prepping for family dinner gathering with big lumps of meat already defrosting on the sink – strange
Morning session continued on with KOBE after finishing NOAH yesterday.

Doing a lighting test before I spray the back panel and complete this one. Then onto the KOBE one.
Batman lights – some thoughts.

Lately when falling asleep I’m counting bats as they fly over the bed…hmm. (Any simpleton comments containing the word ‘batty’ will be removed)
While making all these bats I’m thinking to make some fundamental changes on how I offer the product – for sale.
The battery version is a complicated build process and (putting aside the Chinavirus thing) those RGB LED strip lights are only available from China which is normally 3 weeks plus.
I can source the USB version locally from Kmart and a eBay supplier located in Glen Iris !!!
So…Al is thinking drop the battery version and only offer USB with two options; USB cable customer provides 5V @ 2A power source OR rechargeable version using a flat Powerbank with price increase from $50 – $65 to cover that extra cost.
