[Closed] Trouties New Light is on the way ( Update to all interested folks who emailed me

not accusing you trout - just the way the stw mass jump on band wagons at the drop of a hat and the next new thing is best.

examples include the spesh pitch, on-one, ragley and so on

True. But to be fair that next best thing bandwagon brought me the joy of toasted malt loaf.

Considering I've been following Trout's ongoing development of his light from the very first posts, and seen exactly how much effort has gone into it, and looked at many other light systems out there, plus also being a reasonably intelligent person perfectly capable of making a reasoned decision based on available data, I finally chose to get Trout's light because it fitted all the criteria that I had for a high performance light, something that Hope and USE/Exposure didn't do. If I was going to be one of the sheep I would have bought one of the previously highly touted lights like a Lumicycle/Hope/Lupine/Cateye, etc. Trout's light gives by far the best performance for the money in a neatly designed compact package that sits neatly in the perfect spot on my bars. I won't be sneered at by you Rob, or Captain Bloody Crash or anyone else because I choose to support someone who is actually getting off his ass and creating something a bit better than some bits of water pipe, epoxy glue and an ally can, Ok? I'm too old and bloody minded to take crap from you, so please take your snide comments somewhere else.

not snide - they are out in the open!!

Chris/Trout - YGM ref tomorrow morning, have you seen it yet?

Sheep?

60 made only 50 going out, more niche than sheep.

Bet you've got some DX lights though.

As they are cheap, disposable, and not trout lights - yes i have. Why is "niche" good? niche just screams "look at me" is it not just another way of putting "i am a tedious person but look i have interesting kit so you can talk to me about that"?

"yes i have"

Baa

**** it i can't be arsed anymore. I am off to my bamboo and merino clad bed, welded by mr jones himself, i may read roger mussons wheel pro book whilst using a trout light. Maybe i will have a bath - the water piped in thru old on-one frames!!

oops forgot to get the dog in "ragley, ragley - where are you boy"?

rob. get a life.

speaking to yourself is a sign of madness!

Insults and lies, before you edited your post. Can you go any lower?

There are about a dozen in the UK BTW

god you realy are tedious.

I think yours was only the 3rd fat fork/wheel combo in the UK.

if one was stolen john then you have one and so does sheldon - thats your quote btw

Sheldon doesn't have a Jones.

Rob and On*One?

lol @ the above 🙄

not mine

mate is selling his so i am trying to help him get rid. You should know that - as if a 16" frame would fit me - i am not below average height John!!

I like how you say that you are going to buy one, then respray it to hide the fact it's not an On*One and that you are going to use it to pull a kiddie trailer.

Then you go and edit it saying it's now you mates bike.

I think admin should do an ip traceback on all the trolls in this thread, it's quite easily done and will show who's who.

They're arguing on an internet thread about a bloke making and selling high power LED lights.

WTF!

No worries its just a forum .
Rob a few years ago did point me at the diy lights thing when The other Rob Robdeanhove did the epic how to build a led light thread

anyways it all helps in the post count

How much are these lights.

if thats aimed at me - i am not trolling. Trolling is on the windup - i am not - just stating what i think. Also - i make no secret of who i am so wtf would an IP trace back be of any use :tard:

I thought you already had uber bright lights Dave..?

Nice to meet you this morning Trout, the lights look awesome and as good if not better than any pro built unit out there.

Not long until it gets dark and I'll do some comparison shots against my original AyUp helmet lights (which I'm keeping) and my Light & Motion Arc Li-ion's which I'm giving to a mate.

thank god he has got it!

Us guys down south are getting fed up with all the rave reviews of the light, bloody post office strike

Good things come to those who wait......

Be patient guys, be patient 😛

Had a day off today delivering the mum in law for a hol down in bristol
did a dodgy deal on a motorway bridge at 08.30

a light has made it to bristol just waiting for its owner to collect
and then had a nice drive through the peak district and dropped off 2 kits in Sheffield

A full day tomorrow and some boxes going out on monday but these will be ones that dont require Batteries and chargers as the chargers have been delayed to Smudge probably somewhere in the post system ??

next question which courier to bypass the postie action

Forget all this long exposure stuff. All of the following were taken on the same quick auto setting - 1/8sec, F-stop f/2.8, ISO 400

troutie,

got to say on a serious note the you new lights looks really neat..

for those who don't think it is bright enough ---- you need one of these

18,500 yes eighteen thousand five hundred lumen monsters!

carrying the battery for it might be an issue though :lol::lol:

Well troutie, you asked for it - 15 XPG R5 in a case complete with batteries.

Brightest of its type in the world I reckon.

Yes I know it sticks out a bit, but trust me, I've just been round the local woods and you don't notice that. All I saw was this huge pool of light.

Customary garden shots -

Full whack 5000+ lumens

In comparison, a Lumicycle HID system. Same 1 second exposure at 400ASA

I'll probably make a new clamp that tucks it just under the bar without having to bend the cables under too much.

4 levels, Commute (30hrs), Bimble (5), Extreme (3) and FFS (1).

All these juicy beams shot pics....

Starting to make me regret having bought Tesla 4 now!!!!!

Anyone from the Wiltshire/Swindon area ordered one??

Rob.

Blimey Dave you live up to you're name !
met troutie yesterday and believe me the photos don't do his lights justice. Like he said I am waiting for new stock of chargers that are arriving Monday/Tuesday latest, these will be going First class delivery up to him for next day delivery.

Dave,

re the 15x xp-g

how hot does the case get - it looks not ot have any additional cooling fins on the card enclosure?

Si

Case gets hot, but internally I wired in a temperature sensor that cuts in at 60 deg. Max 48 watts consumed, of which about 30 to 35 would go as heat.

The FFS setting is only for short term use on fast or mega technical stuff.

I love these XPGs awesome efficiency and a decent colour output without excessive blue. Even the operating voltage is lower.

It weighs 800g with NiMh batteries. I've found a Lithium pack which is a tad smaller and would shave 100 to 200g.

I suppose Doctors Gate would be an ideal place to try it out. I bet someone here has already gone down there at night 😮

Rob.

Special delivery from Troutie yesterday, built up last night and tested on my 6am ride this morning. All good, pretty straight forward to put together and a very nice finished package, very impressed. Also tweeked my Trout Mk1 which is going on my helmet when i find a long enough bolt for the mount.

Got a airgun one off of ebay, suggested by Smudge for the 5.2Ah, fits a treat.

Co-incidentally, what is the record for the longest thread on STW, has there ever been a 1000 post thread, because we'll be there soon.
