    Yup, they sure do look yummy. To reiterate, what's the diameter of the 7led pcb, Trout? Is it bigger than 35mm? Just wondered if it could fit into a DX Bastid light. Not that I'm considering up-grading mine, but who knows what might happen later?

    Xipe-T.

    The cutter site seems to indicate an OD for the 7-up MCPCB of 40mm.

    I'm not sure theres enough of the B'Light to keep a 7 XP-G set, cool.

    Those XP-G knock-out some heat.

    With my non digital gauge it is 39 mm Dia and Luminous is correct it would be easier to make a case from scratch than mod the Bastid.

    Heh, never hurts to ask about these things. The photo with the lights set up on a Perspex bar looks quite professional, and the lights are just lovely looking. Nice.

    Agree, totally ^^
    😀

    Always keep your eyes open for a moding opportunity.

    For me thats been half the fun/challenge over the years.

    I'm still an Ali torch cutter-upper, if the result is worth it 🙂

    Trout/Smudge, in the full kit, does the battery come in a bag to hang on the bike frame, or will we need to get one?

    I'm not sure 'happy' is the correct adjective to use when referring to the Captain… 😉

    Wow just got my blue trouelight, i am severely impressed both in quality and output, it has a hi and low mode and you simply hold the switch to turn it off, the paint glows lovely when you switch it off, not sure about the status led but it did flash red when connecting so i can only presume it's a low battery indicator, how much run time would remain i don't honestly know.

    I Compared it to my p7, it has beter spill, better punch and is a cooler white output wise it was better, then i realised it was in low mode.

    My god high mode is just plain obscene just light everywhere!!!

    If you have been hesitant because of funds then don't be, best start selling that kidney now. 😉

    Pics will be up soon as it gets dark. 8)

    Hi Huxley

    You got it then 😀

    The stat led should light up when your battery gets to 14volts
    smudge will be able to say what that means .

    then when it gets to 13.3 volts it will start flashing that is the low warning that you should be on your way home and to turn it down to low

    I never got the chance to find out how long the runtime would be when the low warning happens
    So your feedback would be appreciated .

    Addam
    sadly no battery bags yet it all happened so fast Smudge is franticly trying to source some

    Got it i most certainly have, love it umm a resounding yes!!

    I like the colour of the light as well, not your typical blue it has a quality look about it that's for sure, i like how you bended the acrylic window i can imagine that being fiddly.

    Lumicycle bags to fit smudge batteries though it would be better if you gave him first dibs. 😉

    Right i suppose id better 'fish' out this camera for the trout, nothing fancy/arty for now as i've just got back from the gym so im cream crackered.

    I *think* tags make it easier to find a particular thread when searching. This one isn't too much of a problem… 😉

    Wow huxley.
    As for battery bags I am currently working on having ABS battery cases made, these will will have velcro straps. They will be in 2 sizes depending on the size of battery.

    Short term you can use the lumicycle bags or try searching for AEG Battery pouches on Ebay which come in a variety of colours.

    if you can make a handlebar bracket that can be used to dip these lights when out on the road I'll have a set.
