lumi's little one think it's the pro

I hope your wrong as I've been told the Elite one fits the smaller batteries and that's what's on route to me once the posties pull their fingers out

I bought the elite too...could be embarrassing if the packs don't fit ;-(

We can always look back through here to see who suggested the Elite sized bag and sue him for the £6 it's cost us 😉

I bought 3 packs. two for me, and one for a mate (on my reccomendation!).
Would not have the cheak to send them back to Lumicycle! Can someone please clarify? OR (cheeky mode on!) Trout if I can pick a light up this evening then I can prove this is OK?? 😉

Misinformation from Swisstony I'm afraid!

The Lumi battery bag to fit a 2.6ah 4 cell battery is the Elite: works a treat with Smudge's batteries. Also compare the Lumi battery price (£95) to Smudge's prices!!!

Built up my 2 kits last night with Swiss. Build all fairly straightforward and no problems. Evrything supplied except wire, silicone and Arctic Alumina paste. The housings have been really well thought out to make the build as easy as poss, but is still very fiddly: if you're new to LED building I'd consider the full build option!!

As others have said these lights are beautifully made and finished: a real step up in quality and looks from the Mark 1 Troutelight. This is far from a new an untested product: been through many iterations in production and Trout's feverish mind! 🙂

Yet to try mine out in anger, but can't wait!

ChrisTrout, and great to meet you yesterday. Don't want to fan the flames of those knocking Trout and the lights, but he's just a very passionate guy who enjoys what he does and seems to take pleasure in producing a product that many of us also seem to really like and get pleasure from. Great to see the 'little guy' producing a product that beats the big companies, and moves lighting forwards at a pace.

After meeting Chris even my wife hasn't objected to me spending all that money on a bike light: now that's a real endorsement!!

Pics later

Dave

Thanks Dave!

Cheers Dave

Gooner get on the phone in the morning or drop them an email blaiming Swisstony

i have just emailed them asking for it to be changed!

thanks everyone

I was planning on using the bag from my tripleshots.

Would be nice to know what optics people chose.

Are we being given a choice?

Conrad
pop round if you are in the area I can probably have yours done by then .

Nice one Dave maybe you should have come up and spent the day assembling with the speed you did those 2 .

Trout, what is the purpose of the black covering (velcro I think) in the picture with the helmet mounted light?

sorry chaps, i did say I "think" it's the pro, my solicitors number is available on request!

Duggie
it was experimental for mounting a helmet light ages ago
did`nt work too well wobbled too much and the self adhesive glue is very strong so have not taken it off in case it damages the lid

Hi Chris just wondering when do you think my light will be done?
cheers
nige.

Hi Nige .

**** me Trout light test CLICKY

Hi Xipe Totec!

Yeah, i meant one of trouties lights lol, sometimes my mind is 2 or 3 steps ahead of what the fingers are doing, bits get missed out!

Be very interesting to see what the end result is. Plus, if you do end up needing a hand, im an auto electrician, so am no stranger to soldering/wiring and all that jazz 🙂

Where in North Wilts are you, roughly?

Rob.

Trout

Can you check your mail is working from me because i don't get any replies.
It could be you cant get mail in the trouty shed 😆

Got back from Mabie this afternoon, weather GRIM but the lights were amazing.

Had a few pals down from Inverness who ride the puffer and want a set or two Chris, I have given them your details.

The baby trout was incredible,no pics taken but will get out this week.

Thanks again

Another happy customer here. Cheers Trout, it's a beast 🙂

happy

Sorry but spent the whole day not looking at emails and building
wanted to get on top of the tsunami but went under at 20.00 last night

will need a day to answer all the mails now .

Gareth
Glad Granny mail worked OK .

Glad it was a crap day with the weather yesterday .
might even try for a beam shot tonight 😈

Trout, sorry to distract you for a bit from you mission last night.
The light is amazing and the dog slightly blinded!

For all concerned I can confirm that the smaller battery fits perfectly into a lumicycle Elite pouch, with room to hide any spare cable. Snug perfect fit.

is that the stadium set up then trout?

Its the close encounters model eh Chris !

I think that's the roof set-up for a 4x4... 😉

Just to confirm it is the Lumicycle Elite battery bag you need for the smaller battery. Just £5.95inc postage.

That looks very neat with the Thomson stem. Very tidy.

Can't wait for Thursday's night ride, I might even nip out with the dog later on

any photos of the stadium setup in action?

Poor old trout must be swamped with the kudos this light is getting.

He must be if the photo I posted up on here only last night has has over 260 hits already when my photo a day photos average between 6 and 15 hits.

If you've clicked on it already don't bother but if you haven't here it is again [url= http://www.flickr.com/photos/25655510@N02/4043693306/ ]REPEAT PHOTO CLICKY[/url]

Don't need to, name's dazza you posted it in me thread on br. 😉

One thing i will mention keep an eye on the bolts, one of mine came a bit loose but it's perfectly natural with new bolts and fixings, i'll be grabbing me some blue thread lock later on just thought id give a heads up.

Been practising my soldering this afternoon 🙂

Just back from a short test ride and all I have to say is [b]"Thank you Trout for all your hard work"[/b] the beam is just perfect with no hot spots and it's definatly not "too bright". On low it's nearly as good as my Light and Motion Arc light which is great as a spot but this is a great mix of high power just where it's needed with a good flood of light as well.

This has to be on every night riders christmas list.

Can I just add I put my batteries into a plastic re-sealable bag before popping them into the outer bag. This will help keep them dry come the wet and damp weather.

*Paging Handsome_Rob*
Hi Rob, if you're around, I was thinking about your offer of a hand putting the Troutelight together, and that might be useful: if you're thinking of getting one yourself, I've got the Arctic Silver paste for the LED's and epoxy for the driver, so it doesn't make sense for you to buy any if you can share mine. Gawd knows, there's plenty to spare! 😀

Whats the latest on posting Chris?

Seriously there are three of us who have ordered down in Kent. If you wanted to box the three together and send by courier it would be fine by us.
