Yes this is a blatent plug and I will send a drink or 2 to the management
This is a CNC`d housing for the perfect helmet light or bar light
there is even a discount for the leds optics and Maxflex at Cutters
for more info ask
and if you dont want to do it yourself then I will do it for you at a small cost

very small but very powerfull and will probably use your existing battery
How much it is, for you make me one?
Very nice...
What kind of price and what output?
How does it mount and will it work on, say, a 6 of diamonds?
Mmm that is nice. I wish I had a CNC machine!
Rudeboy
If you are serious mail me
the housing is £ 50 plus pp
the led kit from cutters is 120 aus dollars +pp or £53.66 today +pp
you then need a switch and power conector
output on full is 1164 lumens with R2 leds
and with the soon available R3s 1326 lumens these are of course max ammounts
it mounts to the helmet with a simple velcro strap or to the bars with most clamps you just need to drill a hole and bolt it on
6 of diamonds Dont know lost that out the pack
will you not need sunglasses to use all 1326 lumens?
Beautiful but you are a lumen whore and you know it
PS I own a previous Trout light and cannot recomend it highly enough near indestructable and still going strong. He even answers your querries when you admit you cant even wire a plug in properly!!!
trout - mail me please
thats pretty funky, any pics of it lighting up a trail at night?
piedi di formaggio - MemberHow does it mount and will it work on, say, a 6 of diamonds?
well played - the deceptively subtle buildup meant the latter part caught me off guard, causing an embarrassing desk-based laugh concealment 😆
how hot will that be running when on full
RS
sure thing
narrow optics option

and a bit of a mixed optic set up

pretty impressive, so is it going to melt my head, or even worse...my helmet 😯
Nope it will not melt you or your helmet it will dim to a lower power level
if it gets too warm

trout - mail me please
watch out trout!! "the man" is after you 😆
very lovely looking light sir, can it take P7 emitters? where does the cable run? any chance of a toggle switch on the back? oh and do you do soapdishes? 😀
Are you seriously offering to build them, or have i read that wrong?
If so i would be very interested.
And its made in the UK 8)
Personally I cant understand why a bikelight company hasn't snapped you up yet MrT
Trout, sir, that is a fantastic piece of work. I'm most impressed, and I'm trying to work out how I can afford one at the mo', as I've rather committed to a pair of forks from classifieds. I'll keep a bookmark of this thread and get in touch later.
yes please mr Trout..mail in profile
That is a lovely thing and I'm also interested - email addy in profile. I'd need the option for dummies of getting a built one. Would it run from a 14.4V Li-ion battery?
Mr Nutt
I hope so .
no it wont take p7s they are so yesterday 🙂
XPE is the future , cable is where ever you want , and switch is also whatever you want . it is diy after all . and yes you can have a matching soapdish.
swiftacular.
the original idea was just the housings for the diy builders
but as I am an underworked floor layer at the moment then a few quid is better than nowt so yep i will build some up , the list is a bit long and i am going to be a bit busy in the freezing garage.
Smudge I agree totally .
Count zero
no problems it could be a while before I catch up with the back log now. 😀
kaiser
does that mean you want one too
richcc
14.4 battery is the perfect one for this light
12 v will still work
so will 7.2
Is there a handlebar mounting option? If so add me to the list please.
That light is awesome. Trout YGM!!
Trout, drop me a line if you'd like me to put you in touch with a first rate (CNC) engineering company?!
That's very impressive good work.
Well trout, youll have to mail me when you know more details then
Cheers
Phil/Swift
Nice work Trout... Now much for a full setup, head unit, battery and charger?
Cant you put it all into one tidy unit ala Exposure Lights 😀 And can you make it smell of candyfloss as well 😉
Would be interested to see a 'full build' before I go and buy a MAXX D this week.
Ta
Matt
Pink
That would be defeating the object have you tried an integrated battery light combo on your lid .
yes it does smell of candyflos if you want it to .
anyone in west yorkshire can pop in and have a look at one built and working.
thanks all who have emailed me . I will get back to you but it has gone a bit crazy in my inbox so just bear with me
Really not bothered about it on my lid, dont see the point. 720 lumens on the bars makes a headlight pretty worthless. 1000 lumens plus and it really isnt worth it bar for fixing punctures!
Just want to get away from the wires is all, fed up of them 🙁
Nice work though fella
Matt
anyone in west yorkshire can pop in and have a look at one built and working.
But remember youre sunglasses! he had his whole combo on last time i popped in to see him and my retinas haven't recovered yet 🙂
Actually MrT have you thought about outside light replacements for the power zapping halogen security lights?
details please!
Likewise interested in price for the dummies option please
yep.. details/ prices
I want one of these (about to buy an ayup for the helmet tonight but think i'll hold off)
Looking good Mr T...I might have to get you to build on up for me too 😀
Yeh, ive heard about your soldering skills deesta 😉
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
those'll be shedfire branded before too long, mark my words.
What kind of runtime will these get out of a decent battery?
swiftacular
a normal 14.4v li ion 4.8ah and if you were daft enough to want full power the whole ride then you would be getting approx 4h30mins
Drop me a mail please where in yorkshire are you and to buy as a kit? pauldotnuttonattalktalkdotnet cheers Paul
where in yorkshire are you
well right now he's probably going past the top of pecket well, on his way back over to keighley side of things...
nice to meet you Mr Trout 🙂
lol Brant.
back in the cold shed now thinking up the next Trout lite
Thanks Brant Nice to meet you too
and the buggers from over the pond havnt replied yet
trout am i correct in thinking that i emailed you your first light housing design last year?
Patent fight!
not at all just inquisitive
IP, at the very least.
Can you put me down for the MK1 version please.
[img] 
[/img]
Racing ralph
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
[img] 
[/img]
yup very similar
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?
Richcc
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.
Just a thought the playing card is not from Bruce Forsyths play your cards right is it?
lights to see you, to see you?
yup very similar
That's made by Cutter. Nowt to do with Mr Trout
All of a sudden I want to go out in the dark! Great looking bit of kit, I would like to get a housing please, it will be my pride and joy paper weight while I save for the bits, more links/pointers on this would be great. My email is in my details. And will light the way on my On-One. Looking above it might be keeping in the family!?!
I think he is meaning this or one like it
I would never make owt as ugly as that one with the bulbous end
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
And Racing ralph if you are who i think you are
You pointed me to the cutter MR11 kit right at the very beginning
And then we have a very limited edition of 1 only
4 mce 3200 lumen snow melter

Dear God!!
B'jesus what are you trying to light up? Yorkshire
[url= http://www.ipo.gov.uk/types/design/d-applying.htm ]Registered Designs[/url] You should think about registering that design it you're going to make quite a few. Click on the link above for more info - or giove me a shout if you want help doing it.
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
Imagine meeting that bad boy coming the other way. You would be blind for weeks.
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
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
I'm impressed ... I think I need one 🙂
thats the one trout yes
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.
Can I pre-book a set for March, please? I'm skint and need to wait till then for any cash available. A full set, the one for idiots, if I can.
BTW It's blooming impressive this light of yours.
hairychested
sure email me . it is on the picture of the light .or in my profile.
By the way how do I get my email into my name

Sh1t the bed! That 'snow melter' is truly not-right! Does it not get mega hot?? You could cook a kebab with that.
