which colour do you prefer.
Is that a matt and a gloss black, or just the same black twice?
Anyhoo...emailed.
Pink?
I think its a gun-metal and a black.
Trout, i wish id have seen these before i ordered my Darkness Obliterator in black, the gold is a really good finish, and would have gone so well with my bike 😉
mmmm my black one looks nice 😉
you are correct there swift gun metal and black the gunmetal came out darker than I really wanted
Picked yours up too but sadly in black now.
Blacks all good, maybe the next one i get will be gold....
im interested too dood 🙂
Trout you anything to do with these guys [url= http://www.dstar-led.com/ ]dsatr-led[/url], the light got a good review in the latest cycling plus. More expensive than your though.
Must be Deesta?
Gary tell me more .
or better still a photo of the article to my mail would be better.
I only know That Steve (Deesta) sent off one or 2 of his lights and one of mine to Whatmtb mag for a review the what mtb one comes out 23 sept.
I'll scan it trout and e-mail you a pdf - that okay. What mtb and c+ are both future publishing anyway.
Gary that would be great thanks.
ok so your :wink:s is black then
Gold would look lush on my Trek EX8!

OK you IT lot I need a little help here I would like a little trout engraving on the front square each side

Hi trout, think you might need to post something more specific for this (will probably need an illustrator).
What size area is the engraving going in (mm x mm).
I assume it's lasered rather than engraved? Do you know how fine detail can be achieved?
I work for a small tea company in Harrogate and might be able to persuade one of our very talented illustrators to help!
Do you have any ideas for the logo?
Just of top of my head, the word TROUT but in the shape of a fish (ala DARWIN or JESUS logo)?
Ta.
PS thanks for getting in touch with my mate with the HASE, he is very excited!
Can I have mine sautéed with a little butter and white wine please 😉
CHB
Not bad ideas in fact brilliant
the space is 14mm by 14 mm
and it is engraved on the cnc he tells me and some of the stuff he has shown me is pretty good .
a yorkshire tea trout even better .
your mate left a message tonight on my mob so will ring him in the morning the pics he sent it will be a challenge to get it right but would like to see the bike in the flesh
Garry its grilled no butter or wine think of your figure
Trout, the light looks really good, I'm very interested - I'll drop you an email.
Please don't tell those pics were took on an ironing board!!
Finishes the lights of fantastico troutie, I take it the clamps will be anodised to match? Love the gold one 8)
blooody hell
those pics remind me of fred salmon ???? brand bars from the 80's
Are you deffo not doing those 2 cell jobbies you had a while back? Or can you supply the electronics for it?
will have a word with a designer.
Would really help to know finest point size (line width) the engraver can to.
I suspect it will be more mongoram than monet to get max effect!
[i]£500's good! Whats the longevity like etc?
(Editted for Drac) [/i]
HUH?
Just picked up on this thread. I. Must. Have. One. Of. Those Lights.
Troutie, that really is a terrific piece of work, and the bracket is a wonderful touch, much better than bashing on a Lumicycles bracket. Anyway, YGM. Nice work, sir, chappau!

I'll send you a mail, would love one of the lights, superb work
Any news on the cost of the battery unit, I have the price of he light.
Nice little logo monty
CHB
just got this back from the paul cnc man
Hi Chris
I was keeping an eye on the forum last night. The response is fantastic.
The pics of the anodized ones looked really good.
I think its brilliant hat the guys out there are so responsive with the logo design.
The smallest engraving tool is approx 0.25 dia the next size up is 0.5mm
Anyway if anyone does come up with a design then ideally it would be done on AutoCad and then I could down load it straight onto my CAD-CAM software.
However I suspect you may get a pencil drawing I would have to try and copy it or possible scan it into my software but I have not attempted that before but I think it can be done.
Cheers
PAUL
if you need an autocad dwg give us a shout, send me the image you want and i can trace it into solidworks and produce it from there.
oo - yes please! I'd love one of those lights. Email on it's way...
Cheers Wors thanks for the offer .
to answer your other post the self contained unit is in the USA lent to a guy doing a bit of racing and he is bringing it back later this month so work has gone on hold for that project .
🙁so work has gone on hold for that project
Dont look so sad Wors .
It will be for sale when it returns from its holiday probably for a good price 😆
yay! email me when you decide how much, im away for a week or so but will be looking to buy something when i get back.
Hey Trout, was thinking about the light earlier today, and I had an idea re: the mount. How about a fixing point on either end? That way, the user can choose which side of the stem they can mount the light, or, for a super-secure mount in more extreme conditions, where the bike could be chucked down the trail, a mount on both sides, so the light can only move bacKwards and forwards, with no leverage on one end risking breaking the bracket or bending it, or ripping the mounting bolt out of the light unit.
Good thinking XIPE TOTEC 😀 though you are one day behind Paul from www.kadel.co.uk the friendly cnc man who suggested that and it will be mountable either side of the light . But thanks for the feedback
it is also quite a strong mount so will just spin on the bars in an over the bar experience
Trout, how do you like montys design?
I think its great (usually kiss of death design wise!).
If I could get a line version of that converted into AutoCAD would that be of interest?
The team with AutoCad is different to the design team.
CHB
I think it is pretty cool too and Thanks for taking the time to do it
trout, have mailed you PDF of montys design? What do you think? CAD version tomorrow hopefully.
Thanks CHB your a star This place is great
forwarded it to Paul and here is his reply
Hi Chris – Troutie,
Looks good – I like it.
If you get your contact to send it to you in dxf format if possible. Then if you e-mail it to me I will have a go and see how it looks.
Not too sure about the shading I might have to just do the lines.
is the file format possible
Hi.
I've scanned this thread but I can't find a price for this light. So, how much ?.
Sorry if its already been posted.
🙂
