Snow Blower Light & Voltage Regulator Functional!

Revision 2.0 of the circuit board. The differences from version 1.0 are:

- PCB Mounted 15 Watt Heatsink (at 90% efficiency & 5A load, only 6-7 watt of dissipation needed)

- Mini ATO Automotive Type Fuse Holder (5A Fuse)

- New improved layout of components

- It actually works! Regulates voltage to ~12VDC.

Known problems with the circuit:
-TO-220 Package diode hole are obstructed by the headsink (as seen in the picture above)
-Tantalum capacitor still not in circuit (ran out of them from blowing them on the v1.0 pcb)

Hour meter at top of the picture reads 11.6 hours. I don't have that many hours on it. I've put about 2 hours on it since installing the meter on the blower. Below the hour meter is a DC lighted switch for the LED spot light.

LED light is mounted on the left side on the blower, but in retrospect the right side may have been better because of the location of the snow shout. It gives plenty of light for night work.
