Hi Chris
Yes for sure. send your address to Iain RC200f8 as he will be getting it after Stoney
Cheers Iain...i`ve responded. 😛
Having now done a couple of rides with Troutes Cutie I can confirm this light is bloody bright! On the 1st ride I had both the Cutie & my Liberator on the bars to carry out direct comparisons. For outright power the Lib can't match the Cutie - this thing will dry out wet trails! My only critisism is that I felt the low setting was too low for my preferances, but this can probably programmed differently on thr driver. I liked the hood over the lens as it helps prevent you blinding yourself when you get out of the saddle. All in all I think Chris has got himself a winner with the Cutie.
Sadly its all recharged & boxed up now & ready to post on to Stoney - enjoy!
Thanks for the trial Chris.
Iain.
PS - Cutie, liberator & diy 1800 on the head all on at the same time was fun!
Cheers Iain....
And thanks for pre charging it.....that`ll same me some time after work on Tuesday night..... 😛
On Sat night i was just messing arround with the Lib and Spider Eyes while out with the dog. The old railway is totally covered with trees just behind us and was a perfect "tunnel" to try them in. The Spider Eyes on Low was roughly like the Lib on Med. Gradually bringing the Lib up into the beam it would blend in with the Halo but the square spot was still clearly visable....Not so much witht the Lib on boost........however,the SP is still on low 😯
With them both on boost......I honestly think you could just about drive a car with them... 😉
So with the Cutie and SP there must be at least 4000 lumens!!!!! 😯
I`ll give a report later in the week
It's in the post Andy, should be with you tomorrow
😛
Hi Mr trout is there any chance i can have a try of this light?
cheers
nige.
Hi Milkybarkid
send Andy. (stoney) an address and He will send you the triple Xml Cutie hopefully if he can bear to part from it 😀
as I think the Spidereyes is going to Chris wilks next .
Chris, any chance I could try the spider eyes?
spidereyes should be coming to me next & I'm posting it on to Chris.
Cool cheers have sent him a mail.
chriswilk?
Any chance I could get them after chriswilk?
Man this is getting confusing
Please sort it out between you all and just keep me informed as to its location
it should have its own facebook page wiTh stories of its travels 😆
No probs guys...
SP will be on its way to Iain on Monday and ill send the Cutie to MB Kid.
Prepare to be blinded you guys...... 😉
Im just busy decorating at the mo and ill give some more details later on.
FTAO Chris (Troutie) there could possibly be another development on your lights. On of our group works for M Sport...Yes, the world rally team 😛 and he took them to work on Friday to give them a go and see if they are any use to strap on the front of their cars for night stages.
I kid you not! that is how bright they are. 😯 I could honestly drive my van with the Cutie on its own..... 😉
Top Job mate! 
That will be an interesting evolution! I used to do a fair bit of rallying and the cost of top end lights is astronomical. They're keen (obviously) to reduce weight and the amount if power drawn down for illumination.
Toons,
I'll pass the spider eyes on to you after I've had a look at it.
I think it's on it's way to rc200f8 (Ian) now, then to me, so it will be a while.
cheers
chris
Thanks
Trout,
Is the Cutie still doing the rounds? If so, I'd really like to try it out. Thanks.
That Cutie reminds me of the BFG.
As in Doom, not Dahl.
I like 🙂
If these are still doing the rounds and it's OK with Mr troute, I'd like to try ideally the Spider eyes or failing that Cutie.
I'm in Bristol, currently my email address doesn't appear to be in my profile, but I'll try and fix that.
I'm pete(AT)fixedbristol(DOT)org(DOT)uk
Just the thing for night practice laps of tbe Bikefest course on the Pugsley, my "brill" lights from last year are nowhere near as good as the new trails dictate.
Cheers
I think Chriswilk has the spidereye at the moment then I guess it will make the trip to toons so Flashy if you send an email to Toons for next dibbs on the spidereyes .
will have to have a look at your Pug too next time I visit the inlaws.
the Cutie seems to have settled in Thetford forest and is staying there for D2D
I will be getting my hands on the machined cases later this week and then need to get them anodised so hoping to have some available next week
sadly they wont be Lazer etched as it still has no name yet and I am struggling to find a local lazer engravers .
so Stealthy black the first batch will be
Cheers, I've emailed James (Toons).
I'm still interested in buying a light but would appreciate some help on choosing the right one.
Bring a bike down (or I could find a lend) and I can introduce you to the new trails here. You're very welcome to try the pug, if you fancy.
Flashy would love a go on a pug round the bristol trails
I dont think it will be this year when we next get down there though .
some time after xmas .
I just got hold of the new cases tonight 😆
so off to the anodisers tomorrow
should have another demo ready next week
Chris, could I please have a go with the Cutie demo when it's ready?
Cheers
Ian
Yes sure thing Cooie
I had to build the first one up unanodised so I have a light to ride with

Just let me know when you're down next and we'll arrange something...
I'm still looking to buy lights, I'll drop you an email from home, after my evening Pugsley Ashton Court circuit......
That looks very tidy that does. I have to bow down to your far superior wisdom on the choice of bar clamp after me spouting off about it earlier in this tread 😉
trout
would love a demo of teh cutie i at all possible, not in big rush as new light is on the chrstmas list, jsut which one i'm not sure
ta
Surely given the first post the name for the cutie has to be the bunny boiler
The spider's eye lights look more like a mad monkey to me
hi been following this thread for a while when will the two lights be available? and how much will they be?
cheers
Tom
Thanks Chris, will mail you my address.
Wow didn't realise how small this light was until you posted the pics above
Will get some better pics today as just back from the anodisers

so when/where can we buy these? seen your posts on here b4 but never asked...look super tidy and clean!
Looking great trout!
My old maxx d's been sold, this is looking to be a serious contender for my next light methinks. 🙂
Any details on availability and price (ballpark same as liberator £?)
Id be very interested in having the chance to demo the cutie after its made its way throught the list of folks above.
Thanks guys there are a few more details on the [url= http://www.troutie.com ]website[/url]
ooo that looks GORGEOUS in black with the silver front...!
are you just doing them as complete lights or is there any chance of just buying an empty housing?
Chris that looks great! I thought it looked tight in silver, but in black..! And great decision leaving the front plate silver, looks really classy!
would be intereseted if there was a chance of buying just and empty housing as the xml setup looks really appealling but my exisiting housing can't handle that much heat
That housing looks great.
Will it be available as a kit &/or without battery ?. I'm looking to upgrade from my modded Lumi cans with XPE & XPG. I'd prefer to source components locally than go to Cutter.
Yes I guess it can be available as an empty vessel or even complete kit to diy with or without batteries
infact the very first one is battery free and with a lumicycle crossover lead I have yet to make so its owner can use his Lumi battery
how much for a housing then, please mr amazing light maker trout 🙂
The Dominator eh?
Nice name 😉
Cheers H.
The Dominator eh?
Trout - you do know this means your next light has to be called the Peacemaker?
Andy
Bigbloke
Wonder where that came from 😳
You got an email
just mailed you troutie about Cutie, but also now v interested in Spider eyes.
What news? Can I buy one?
There is only the one spider eyes in existence that is doing the rounds
until I get my head in gear and fine tune the design
which I should be doing soon but cant see anything ready to be sold this side of christmas sadly
the trails are gonna be bright soon as 10 Dominators just been posted today 😯
any left?
Ohh Yes plenty to go around
OK, I'll bite....(I have emailed you) what colours are left?
Is it pre-built or kits that are left?
[EDIT] Thanks for the mail
I would like a trial ride of the Spidereyes light please, oh so want one..
AndyRT
by my reckoning
Chriswilk has it now then on to
Toons then
Flashy
so Give flashy a mail and your address for next dibs
that is one neat looking light!
Flashy, can you mail me, my email is in my profile, I can give you my address to send the lights on to me...once your done melting rabbits, the universe and everything.
spider eyes is indeed with me.
I'll give it a test in the lab over the next couple of days and ride with it tomorrow.
If you happen to be around peebles Wed evening be warned.
2 riders, one with a liberator and the spider eyes, one with the Dominator and a single XML on the head.
I reckon that will over 6000 lumens when we are on full beam.
Toons, I'll post spider eyes to you at the end of this week.
trout,was just wondering what the batteries are like for your lights? would they be easy to mount securely to my skinny duster (as my stem is only 70mm) to my new bike (well new since august 😉 also what is your most powerful light that you sell and how much with an endurance battery.oh and can you give me the 6 winning lottery numbers for next week 😉 thanks 🙂
heres a pic of the endurance battery
[IMG] 
[/IMG]
approx 50mm x 50 mm x 150 mm
some folks fix it to the seat post not good if uppy downy
usually somewhere it will fit on most frames
the most powerful [s]handgun[/s] light is the Dominator
Price on my website
49 - 3 - 34 - 17-18-12 bonus 24
Just took delivery of the new Dominator. Looks superbly put together, feels great quality and tested in my garage it nearly blinded me on Max, the garage was ridiculously bright.Can't wait to test out on trails on thursday evening.
Anyone thinking of buying then do so. 🙂
Andy RT, YGM.
Sven last night had the Liberator, that was "quite" bright, lovely spread ideal for bars, riding round here.....
proper bags 'atlast' 8)
Ok, just done the dark garden test. My Dominator has 5 settings (standard battery), low would certainly be ok for road use middle setting would be plenty for most off road excursions but the 4th and 5th setting give a massive amount of light. Very pleased with the light spread and throw too.
Roll on first ride out 🙂
Just took mine out for a couple of hours on the downs.
I set mine up in uib2 duo mode, switching between 3000mA & the default. At the higher mode it's bonkers bright. Low mode was fine for climbs & pootling along wide paths. Just under 2 hours riding just about exhausted a Lumi 2.6AH battery.
Fully agree with the comments about the ideal light spread. The beam is wide but has good throw.
I'm very impressed. Definitely recommended.
I hate you but at the same time love you!!!! Just ordered my dominator after an annoying hour fitting some plastic makeshift bottle mount things to my orange five. The bloody dog ate the instructions and they were not straight forward to put on. Having assessed the plastic things will hold a bottle battery I have just ordered my dominator,
Having seen the picture above I can now take the plastic shite off my 5 and look forward to a good winter of night rides., a wasted hour compounded by a wife laughing at my cursing the dog will hopefully be compensated by a quality piece of kit.
Cheers trout
I am having email problems
virgin media email platform is wonky tonight
so will check emails when its fixed. their sites says 12.00 tomorrow
seems like it is being well received 😆
thanks trout 🙂 it's a toss up between your dominator light and an exposure mark 2 six pack (sorry 😳 the reason being,i don't have a credit card/cheque book,i know that the bike shop i go to can get exposure lights (can pay instalments with them/love the idea of it all in one battery/light).but i must admit to being very taken with your lights (you are obviously a light genius 😉 seeing some of the pictures of your super bright lights (showing how far they light the trail) awesome 😀 as it is going to take me around 16-20 weeks to save £450,might you have any brighter ones for sale by then?and apologies for all the questions 😳
Thanks Callum it will be in the post today 😀
Emails are working again now to sort the backlog .
Raceface
Thanks is the sixpack £450 😯
I dont think there will be anythink brighter on the horizon
this one is a bit OTT on full 😆
I had the pleasure of having both the Spider Eyes and the "Dominator" at the same time the other week.....I was curious as to what the lumen output with both was? It was an insane amount of light. 😯
I found the Dominator was fine on low for road and off road climbs and then med for anything else, even the downs....I only used the boost a couple of times cos it was raining and there was a little too much glare back from the wet. 🙁
I did (just for a laugh) run them both up on boost down a dark tree covered s.track (down to seldom seen) and i can honestly say there would be no point in having anything brighter as it would ust be wasted light :wink:(if you know what i mean).
The finnished item is looking really nice BTW...Excellent work Chris! 😛
both on boost would be in the region of 4000 lumens, but lumens are not the whole story...
Well, completed my first ride with the Dominator tonight around our local loop. Must say i am over the moon with the light, used it mainly on the mid setting Level 3 which was ideal for the twisty trails, next 2 levels up were immense and boost was utterly mad. the light gives a great even spread, no hot spots and didn't seem to lack anything. My riding buds were gob smacked by the lights power.
One very happy troutie customer here 🙂
I've dropped "high" current on mine down to 2.8A. Can't say i can notice the difference between that & 3A, but it's less drain on the battery. Tonight i did a slightly longer loop than tues, but with way less use of the high current setting i easily got a 2 hour ride with the 2.6AH battery.
Looks ace Mr Trout. Ace.
Trout, I have a 2 x 20W Lumicycle Halogen setup with massive endurance 6ah battery. So, am I right in thinking you do a Lumicycle battery crossover lead? I expect the battery is complete overkill for LED tech for a few hours night riding above Bingley, but it's all good to covert, right?
B.A.Nana
That is a perfect battery for the Dominator and yes will do a crossover lead no problem
you ride past my house nearly every day so pop in and give one a try out 😉
Well, just got in from testing mine, and it's stunning.Can't honestly see myself needing anything more.
Hey up Milkybar kid
How did you get on at Dusk till Dawn with the light
Excellent we won the 4 man team i did not see any light as bright as this one,i did send you a mail a while ago did you not get it?

Great result in what I believe were pretty bad conditions .
goes off to look for mail
Rode with the spider eyes last night!
The distance it covers is mental!!
Chris what is the green glow?
