Hope Vision 2 is upgradable

Troute – happy that new battery is part of project joystick, if you recall I mentioned that is was well past it’s best in email. Really intrigued and excited to see what the outcome of this is!

troute i could send you my maxx d to have a play with how long would you need it for

Good news for all you waiting for the Hope conversions
the Drivers left the good ol USofA yesterday so should be here soon.

ooh, exciting stuff

[continues waiting patiently…]

Quick update on the original Hope2 upgrade. Finally went out last night for a longer ride. Hope battery lasted about 4 hours, cycling between low and medium, and occasionally high. Not bad when even low is brighter than the old high power, which would last 1:45.

Slight negative point – the old system would flash when the battery got a to a certain level, then only stay on low. I don’t think it did that last night, just went a bit dull for maybe 15 minutes, then off completely. Luckily, I had a helment light on too, so wasn’t left stranded at the wrong moment!

Drivers arrived today for anyone wanting the upgrade.

Ir bandito

I forgot that the driver can be programmed to flash the led when it reaches half depleted and also nearly dead

Aye, I’m still up for the upgrade. email heading your way trout.

i have emailed you too

cheers mails recieved and replied too. hopefully also to all waiting for the upgrade .

can also do a few vision 4 jobbies too

Thanks trout. I’ll have a go.

Trout – looking forward to seeing how project joystick turns out now,!
Have you got a battery from smudge?

I’ve emailed you too Troutie 😮

I’ve also posted this in the Hope 4 thread as I’m not sure which one is ‘active’…

I’d just like to give a shout of thanks to Troutie for XML’ing my Hope
Vision 4 lights. They’ve gone from 960 lumens to around 2000 on max!!!
I’ve only had the chance to try them out once but the light level and
spread is fantastic, far superior to how they were before hand. Cheers
Troutie – highly recommended!

He He 🙂

Nice 🙂

That one looks far too shiny to be mine, but I hope (EDIT – damn the accidental pun) it’s getting the Trout inside sticker too.

Have emailed you an address to send it to and I’m hoping the postie will bring it to me in time for a winter solstice ride.

Sadly I got your mail when I came back in from the post office so it will go tomorrow

Thanks Chris got mine today, 😀 nice surprise before christmas. I will try and get some beam shots up in the next few days.

Thanks Trout, my light arrived just before Christmas and it’s a superb upgrade. Lovely work.

Have been away from a decent web connection for a couple of weeks so haven’t had a chance to say thanks… out having fun testing it out instead 😀
