.....Saw them mentioned the other day, and I was going to buy one, but I can't get the registration (And so the ordering process) to work on their website. Is it me being thick or what???? I have emailed them.
Also, anyone care to comment on the lights themselves?
Cheers!
🙂
Site registration doesn't work...
Bugger. I want one of those too 🙁
Probably get a DX instead 😕
Just out of interest which one are you thinking of ordering?
I'm not sure whether to go with the:
DX Bastid circa 700 lumens £50
L&G Fireball 1100 lumens £80
L&G Foride 1400 lumens £92
Troutie DIY 1800 lumens £130 (and probably more reliable!)
If anything it appears pointless going for the Fireball if for an extra £12 you get a proper handle bar mount and more lumens.
Google for a few reviews on mtbr.

Troutie DIY 1800 lumens £130 (and probably more reliable!
Does that include a battery? If not it's £200-ish
I was gonna get the Foride though.....
just the dual xml head and bar mount diy £95 posted
assembled another £15
use your old battery and charger
Troutie isnt including batteries as far as I am aware, although I think Smudge does some.
I had looked at this battery
or this
both come with chargers.
If you look at Trouties DIY light thread I asked about them and some one does use one, however they might be a bit bulky.
I have emailed the seller to get details on weight and size but havent had a response yet.
Sorry was thinking out loud with Trouts light. The £130 is the kind of price I think I could get it running for. Maybe £115 if I use the latter battery.
£85 or £95 dependant on the battery you have to work with it, for the light then smudge was doing a battery on special for £63

looks a good kit, would be even nicer if the builder sends the case off for anodising.
damn you guys type quick
"would be even nicer if the builder sends the case off for anodising."
When I did my last DIY light out of a Heinz baby food tin I sprayed it with some BBQ spray paint which gave it a rather nice matt black finish, after curing it in the oven for a bit 🙂 . If I do Trouts light I think I would do the same.
Ahh stuff it.
Trout, YGM! 🙂
Probably too late now (and no bad thing as supporting Trout effort's is worthwhile)
But did you try emailing them?
I believe from the MTBR thread, I linked to on the other thread, their main email is sales@lightandgo.com but apparently using this email addy has more success: lightandgo@gmail.com
Latest update on the MTBR thread is that delivery took 42 days to the US, so don't expect anything to turn up quick
On a par with DX,.. now where the frick is are my spare mount's I order from DX? 😳
I bought the fireball from spokeshirts and i have to say it's amazing. Much, much brighter than my P7 airbike.
well recommended
My Light&Go Fireball arrived in 9 days from Korea using the free shipping option. I've had UK orders take longer than that 🙄
