HQ Sixteen: “New” Handlebar LED FAIL

A to-do reminder pending completion of the in-process quilt strapped in Mary’s heavily customized HQ Sixteen:

HQ Sixteen - failed handlebar LEDs
HQ Sixteen – failed handlebar LEDs

A three-LED string in the central control panel of the front handlebars has gone dark a year-and-a-half after I replaced all of them. Of course, that’s what I get for using new-old-stock surplus parts, but … the COB LEDs in the nose ring lights are still going strong, so there’s plenty of light where it matters.

The star pattern on the ceiling (lower right) comes from sunlight reflecting off one of the salvaged star quilting rulers. I think the oblong patterns (upper left) come from other rulers.
