As above really - I use a Troute Liberator as my main light but on a ride tonight was wondering whether it would be possible to upgrade my Cateye Double Shot Pro with more effective XPGs or XMLs?
The Cateye works well with a reasonable spot beam - just wondering whether any of the light gurus on here had any idea of viability of a tech update?

there was a chap used to offer updates for these lamps but that was a few years ago and I suspect things have moved on since then.
there's a few people on here (inc troute) who'll look at changing led's for you - have you contacted him?
Chris, any thoughts? I'm guessing that your hands are full with an autumn production run on the cutie?
trout did my triple shot last year so i would say yes its possible, think it was about £90 for the whole conversion
That sounds promising swamping - did you need to upgrade the battery as well?
... sorry swampi - bloody predictive typing ffs!
email trout
as he has done convertions on heaps of different lights, below is a link to a cat eye trippleshot he modded over on mtbr forum

while i realise this is not the same light as yours i'm sure he would be able to advise what is possible.
Hi Graham
yes got my hands full at the moment. Packing to fly away for a few days R&R
yes it can be upgraded but the battery may not be up to the job
got. triplshot to do when I get back so am happy to have a go at a doubleshot
That's great news. I'll leave it until October / November eh? When you get over the new seasons rush.
sorry yes had the new battery and charger from smudge as original was crap and knackered
