Just received mine today, and just been comparing against a Lupine Betty in the field at the bottom of the garden.
They throw out quite a different light (colour and spread)

Been doing a back garden comparison to a Hope Vision 4.
The Trout main spread shape is half moon like, shaped downwards so as to illuminate the near field in front of you. It seems quite focused with the fill dropping off sharply past 45degrees each side of the straight ahead line. Nearfield is very well lit indeed, being very bright.
In this spread shape the Trout is similar to the Hope. The Hope's colour is quite a bit warmer, the Trout is alot whiter, and of course brighter, especially where it counts - about 3-14' in front.

it doenst tell you how much on his page though
or how long battery last Posted 2 years ago # -
Depends what capacity (Ah) battery pack you have, or buy. Think it draws 1A on full so with the 2.6Ah battery pack I've got it will, in theory, run for 2.6 hours.
Trout, I've got to say that the light is fantastic, can't wait for my next night ride. Car drivers round London won't know what's coming this winter!

Thanks for letting us know which is the bestSorry John but i'm not able to give a decent review until have rode with both lights, I only received it this afternoon and not riding till tom.
My intial thoughts are though
The Betty is brighter in the centre area where the Trout has more light to the sides. The Trout light is a more bluey white light whereas the Betty is more natual. When shining both lights at some trees in the distance i could pick out the colours more with the Betty.
When using both lights on full power together you can notice the centre of the Lupine and the side flood of the Trout....does that make sense??

Anyone running a baby trout? Got any beam shots? Too much for a road light?
Posted 2 years ago # -
Is that right John Walker? i think we figured my Troutie DO was drawing 2.6A or something, so my battery is a 5.2Ah.
That'll be much nicer runtimes with the new LL.Posted 2 years ago # -
Swift - From post No. 1:
"The Specs for the techy folks of the Lumen Liberator
6 XPG R4 leds if driven at 1000ma will push out 345 lumens each
6 carclo 10 mm square optics wide / medium / narrow / eliptical to mix and match to make a nice beam.
1 Maxflex driver to take the 14.8 volts from the battery and magic it up to 18 volts ish for the leds .
waterproof switch .
cable and connector to suit battery pack minimum requirement is a 14.8 volt li ion packthe bar mount is in development at the moment and can only get better.
it will also be helmet mountable using some yet to be sourced velcro strapsNo idea on the real price just yet but it wont be £50 but it will be the cheapest 2000 lumen light out there ( and it can be turned down so no whingeing about too much light).
If it turns out there are some folks interested in having one of these lights then mail me and we can go from there."

Well if there's a demo doing the rounds can I get my name down? More than willing to take it over a weekend !(cheeky I know, but worth a try and we might get to 2000 !)

Just been out to the bike shed to try it out again. My god I'd forgotten about the green glow - how cool is that.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Chris,dont know if you got my email regarding a connector for the proto i had as the lead was popping out, can you let me know if you have one spare and price, really pleased with the light
Posted 2 years ago # -
It survived the worst Brechfa could throw at it (it was very wet out there tonight), couldn't fault it. Used the DX light up top and helped on the tight switchbacks. It made the tabletops a lot safer. at two hours back at the car was when the red light came on.
Posted 2 years ago # -
Mine turned up today cheers Trout.
Very nice, the logo and label looks very professional, and its a big improvement over the Proto (which was very nice in its own right).
The female port rather than a flying lead is good. I'm guessing the light is a battery low warning type thing that i didn't know it had (a nice surprise), and the green glow is a lovely gimmick, which if the mount ever does break will be handy. (must be worth a couple of lumens on the final count too )
All in all, fantastic achievement for one man in his spare time (not forgetting the contribution of others). Easily a match quality and value wise for any of the big guns (to be fair, if it last a couple of years problem free, it will blow them out of the water)Posted 2 years ago # -
Woot! Just got mine!
So much smaller and neater than the pictures do justice.
Well done, and many thanks!Posted 2 years ago #
