thanks for using my comps, just a minor note about L333 light engine. In fact it can be switched ON/OFF just with a mom button, just keep to pressed for 2sec in any mode to switch off (standby). In standby mode it flashed each 5 sec with a small red led.
Also you can program low mode, just keep the button pressed for 4 sec and release when the desired level is reached.
Good luck with your night rides

Thanks for the info, could do with an updated data sheet for these things really! I do like the blend from full to low, works very well, easy on the eyes, but not to slow (like the DX lamp)

Goldigger,Do you sell the remote switches separately? if so how much do they cost?
Hi Jere,
Please send me an email, email is in my profile.
Thanks
I agree with Stoner. I do like your slot design for the handlebars.. Nice!
My version is here.

I've used this for loads of night riding and never failed. Also the light escapes through the plastic making a nice side on safety measure.
ha! nice one tractorman 
@stoner. ha ha. I might paint them in John Deere colours 
Did you see my riser bar - bar end nightmare from 2003

I apologize to those who will be blinded....;-)
2003?

Few!, thats Ok then
Ruscle,
I dont suppose you have any pics of them on the trail do you? I've seen the ones on the forum but wanted to see a few more shots?
Also I notice your went for smudge's battery. Was there a reason for this? Are they better than the Lipo's that golddigger's come with?
cheers
Hi a week odd ago i asked for a price on the Tripple cute XML light but i lost all my emails,can you email me the price agian please your mail dont seen to work in your profile.
cheers
nige.
so I have my LEd board, my optic, my driver, just struggling to find a heatsink without resorting to machine shops..
PLanning on using my old rush (trailtech) hid housing, so could do with a decent waterproof switch with an LED and rear mounted...
Done the usual searches but can't find anything at rapid RS etc so would appreciate any tips and pointers for UK suppliers...
Stoner / redthunder - how good are those lights say in comaprison to a DE type light? I'm contemplating trying a build using something like THIS [based on the pond scum light] rather than the B&Q method meerly for aesthetics only.
Also thinking about using the same 12v20w bulb as you have done so as I understand it I could use one of Smudges 14.8v batteries although it may get hot if not air cooled. What battery did you use? Did you both go lead acid from Maplin or similar?
i use a smudge 14.8v that normally runs my trout liberator.
Its only a pub light, so I only have it on for ten minutes.
Its not really comparable with a DX light (LEDs and LiIOn batteries have come along way since halogen MR16 lamps), more a jokey bit of fun.
No pictures yet, the flood produced is huge and they carry at least 75meters down the trail and then fades out. I normally ride with 2 lights, 1 on the bars and 1 on the helmet but you could easily get away with just the tripplecute on the bars.
I used smudges batteries as slightly lighter and require less care to prolong the life apart from storing in the fridge.
ruscle can you mail me goldiggers email please agian i lost it.
