1800 lumens self contained light wonder if I should add this to the line up .

at the moment the proto is 420 grams but can lose a bit of that as it is bomp proof at the moment
Only 4 XPGs but at full whack so on paper lumens of 1840
Lighter and smaller than the Exposure 6 pack yes its a bit plain and ugly but it is used in the dark so who cares .
Needs a bit of fine tuning
the maths say 2 hours on full
Gawd knows on Med and low cos I dont yet .
I`m sure a beam shot will be along some time
I will offer you £20 for it....?
That's cuboid that is. Trade descriptions anyone?!! 😉
Good work Trout
Does it come in black?
I was thinking along the same lines but mine was slung under the stem in front of the head tube, rotated 90 degrees with the XPGs mounted in the middle of one side of the battery casing.
Matt so much 😯
brushed aluminum but could be any color
this was to see if it could be done as small as possible and as light and easy as possible
cost about £140 to build. and a few hours playing with tools
that Inc battery and charger
I'd buy it if the price wasn't stupid.
I'd buy one in preference to your other lights - if I had even the slightest need for any more lights!
Put another way, the all-in-oneness appeals.
OK out with the faithfull Lumen hound for a beam shot attempt

4 XPgs at full 1.5 amps with the Regina optic .

So roughly how much do you think they'll go for trout? ~200 and I'd be first in the que...
What is going on with the lights on those hills? It looks like Mordor or something.
I'd buy one for £200.
Its the glow of Tandori ovens from bradford
It needs a bit of fine tuning in the beam probably 2 reflectors and a couple of wider optics as there is a very sharp cutoff at the beam sides though that is probably good for the road.
but not so good for offroad but that is a simple swop .
£200 would be a killer 1800 lumen light along side the Exposure 6 pack
MM food for thought there will go and see my machinist friend as I refuse to stand in my unheated garage knocking housings out on the Mill .
I'd buy one at £200 too.
That's a big saddle.
Ha ha That's Mrs Ts comfy seat
Be interested if the price is right as i'd much rather have an all in one unit.

Rather than start yet another thread, here's an 8 XPG helmet light I put together and tried out last week. Yes I know those screws look naff and it needs more waterproofing, but that's WIP and for now the brightness is fantastic. Uses double sided Velcro to loop through the helmet slots and those side pieces.
Batteries are 5 Nokia Lithium from 7dayshop and the case is from Maplin.
Brightness is tweaked such that a full charge lasts 2 hours. Something like 1500 Lumens.
Oh and I've got a 12000 Lumen fan cooled leviathan planned as soon as the new Cree XM LEDs arrive 😮
12000 lumen 
12000 lumen
Yep
But only on Maxxxxxx power 😆
It will be interesting head mounted.
you'll scorch a path as you ride 😆

Just to show I'm not making this up as I go along, here are some of the components. Its got a miniature blower (kick ass fan) to shift the heat.
I suppose at 100 x 100 x 30mm it could just about be helmet mountable with a back pocket battery and a spare on the frame. Leave it with me.
Sounds a bit of a monster Dave should be fun .
and make a nice hand warmer this weather.
