Cheers . not giving up completly will still be making lights but more specialized just giving up the run of the mill stuff
now that china and the others have caught up in the lumen wars a little.

@ Steve. yes liking the latest proto and working on the next one you can have first refusal when it's finished.

Mugboo. somewhere in the region of 6000lumens on hi

I've been very happy with the smudge/ mtb batteries light. Plenty of power for normal night riding, though you might want an extra light for racing.

Troutie -sad to hear but in the face of cheap b'stards completely understandable. :(
I'd love a DIY spider - no hurry as my other 2 trout lights are going V strong - I'll ping my interest via email.

This Troutie is giving up tha mass produced lights for this year .

will still be doing the odd stupid light for folks. and have some stock of
Dominators and spidereyes. to sell off. probably as DIY assemble kits when I have worked out a price for them .

Can't keep swimming upstream against the flow of Chinese cheapies .
