nice to meet you Mr Trout 🙂

Thanks Brant Nice to meet you too

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.

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

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

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

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.
Rudeboy
Ha HA nope heat has a direct thermal path to the stem and bars which keep it pretty cold
So you get heated bars?
WANT IT!
BTW, email me with bits you might need; I'll see what me mate can do.

It should work, mine does.
Hi Update to all you guys who have ordered one of these housings from me.
I just had this email from Deesta the guy who is CNCing them
Hi Chris,
I've had to order extra material due to the number you want of the XPE's. I'm doing my casings today and tomorrow so should hopefuly get those out over the weekend 🙂 Due to the time I need to do your csing, I'm not going to be able to do them until the middle of next week :(. We've got an urgent job that needs to be done but yours will be next. I'll be able to do one with the modifications on for you to play with though, so will get that to you as soon as.
Hope that's ok?
Cheers, Steve
Also no news on dispatch on the stuff from cutters yet
I dont know if these fires are affecting them .
Thanks for being patient
Your lights might be all clever and stuff but I think these have a certain charm

Like it, light, floatation device, emergency firewood. Now thats thinking outside the box
Is it too late to order one?
How much would the batteries and charger be in addition?
gymaint
no I am having extra housings made so still available
batteries you could mail smudgemtbuk at aol dot com
or use Turboferrets li ion holder and 4 li ion rechargerables
WCA are you safe with powertools
is that light for the bamboo bike some one posted on the old forum.
Thanks Trout,
So basically all in it would be something like this
Batteries 4 x AW 18650 3.7 V RECHARGEABLE LITHIUM BATTERY = £47.80
(I don’t know if the above are top of the market batteris or not, these are half the price so would reduce the cost by circa £20)
[url= http://www.caving-gear.co.uk/show_product.asp?id=765 ][/url]
Charger 1x ULTRAFIRE WF 139 DUAL BAY CHARGER = £17.95
All from [url= http://www.thephotonshop.co.uk/page44.htm ][/url]
Battery holder 1 x Turboferret holder = £12.00
Battery pouch 1 x Turboferret puch = £8.00
All from [url= http://www.turboferret.co.uk/buy.php ][/url]
Trout’s light self build = £120.00
Total (excluding p&p and fixing/holder) = £205.75
Would you provide a wiring diagram, despite having an A-Level in electronics I don’t feel overly confident about building? What kind of fixing would you use for bars I don’t really fancy drilling them?
gymaint
Sounds about right and there will be a howto going up very soon.
Bar mount no problem you can have a M5 threaded hole for a lumi mount or the electron mount from chainreaction .and the housing comes with the bolt also .
mail me for more details.
