The Big LED players Cree &amp; Osram are also doing this, however the makers of the P7 LED chip have been doing this for a few years. Having 1x LED chip means that Luu could use the genius system of replaceable lenses etc, making this LED very versatile... </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/on-one-900-lumen-light#post-676038 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:00:28 +0000 daveplanetx 676038@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Of course well send one to Trout , though I believe hes already had a poke around at the LUU light in a slighty rebranded / modified version . </p> <p>Anyway Trout , mail me your details and I will gladly pop you the one Stevo has been testing in the post .</p> <p>I know Paul Smith has been testing one of the Luu lights and it should be coming up in what mtb soon , he seemed pretty impressed when I bumped into him at Eurobike , and Paul definitely knows his lights . </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/on-one-900-lumen-light#post-675994 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:46:37 +0000 DaveGr 675994@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Oh, and I wonder if they&#39;ll give Trout one to dissect as the STW independent light reviewer ..... </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/on-one-900-lumen-light#post-675989 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:45:17 +0000 DaveGr 675989@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>Looks like some interesting features.<br /> - interchangeable lens to give flood or spot<br /> - runs off Li-ion but also has a back up AA battery pack which looks like it&#39;ll give an hour extra run time as an emergency back up</p> <p>Seems an OK price @ £140 for the basic light but will be interesting to see the beam shots as it looks like one lens in front of the 4 LED&#39;s</p> <p>some <a href="http://www.on-one-shop.co.uk/?p=3019">techie stuff</a> on the On One web site. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/on-one-900-lumen-light#post-675988 Mon, 14 Sep 2009 16:45:13 +0000 Mr Agreeable 675988@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p>With Niteflux the normal warranty chain has gone thoroughly kaput as their UK distributor has also gone AWOL. I had a problem with a lead on my Niteflux halogens and the shop just swapped it with another set they had, they didn&#39;t even bother sending it back. I would expect that if Oldgit really kicked up a fuss he could get his money back from the shop, but has his reasons for not doing this. </p>
