    Thanks guys for your interest.

    and to clarify it all
    diy

    the cnc housing on its own is £50 .00
    the leds / optics / maxflex is £60 from cutters
    you then need a switch & power socket £ 10

    you need to be able to solder to a board .
    and drill holes in aluminium

    If you want one built up it would be £165 + pp
    and here is the hard bit money up front.

    batteries and chargers to suit can be got at a good price from
    Smudge at Smudgemtbuk@aol.com

    it is possibly your fault that I got into diy building
    but as I dont know who you are from the previous STW
    and I think it was the year before.

    Tinsy **** me stop it
    you can have that very one but im keeping the battery.

    i think (am sure it was me) – was a design that ended up similar size to a lumi can with a flared end, had concentric bands at the abck for heatsinking, the main heatsink was an integral part of the housing – H shaped cross section

    As indicated earlier – I’d like one of these but will have to wait after pay day at the end of the month – is there a batch size that you are waiting for Troutie or are you doing them each as one-offs?

    I am waiting untill Steve the CNC man says he can do the run of housings
    I am hoping for next week
    so will keep it open untill sunday
    I will then probably want a few spares so will round it up to the nearest good looking number which will be there till they are gone.

    It will probably not ever get used on full
    but the quality of trail ilumination is fantastic at low currents
    it is a bit like a gang of little thugs overpowering 4 very strong thugs

    JFC now for MM there will be to limit for lights, a minimum one and a maximum one.

    As I said before this is not about having the lumen war winner
    this is about quality of light
    and running 16 emitters at low current is more efficient lumen wise
    than 4 emitters at full chat.

    and a pic to back up how nice it is this is at very low power

    Just to update all who have said they want a housing
    I am up to 25 confirmed from on here and MTBR so I am going to ask Steve to do me 30 housings for a few spare and one for me

    I hope to know when they will be done very soon and will let everyone know when I know.

    Thanks for all the interest.
