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

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.

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 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 "Thank you Trout for all your hard work" 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.

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.

watch out for the postie tomorrow and a few other too .

Richc went out with 6 on the rod the others been mailed out but the video would not auto focus in the dark and I got crap all footage .

it was diminishing returns 1 on wow 2 on bloody hell 3 on amazing
4 on mot much difference 5 and 6 made only a small improvement

small video from 200 metres down the field first is my daughter with a tesco torch then me with 6 LLs on full

So how much is the full set up.

Oh my god its full of stars……………………….

Hi Chris, passed the baby T over to Graham t (justme) he is off to the wilds of rossendale tomorrow to give it a work out.

need one

*Replying Xipe Totec*

Im always around to lend a hand, just drop me a msg and i'll be there 🙂

I am seriously thinking of getting one, but am just struggling to justify nigh-on 500 notes on lighting within 2 months lol!!! Perhaps seeing one in the flesh would help to sway me…

Rob.

XP you need the thermal epoxy for the driver and the leds the paste is for between the 2 halves of the case so the bottom fins can do their stuff .

Monty no problems 😛 it probably wont come home again 😆
but I have enabled the self destruct feature 😈

Hey Chris, thanks for that, mine arrived safely ten minutes ago! Whoopee! 😀

looks great trout 😉

Cheers Chris just got mine looks excellent

Great postie has been busy today

for you lot who are getting impatient and ready to solder stuff
and me failing to do a step be step how too as I dont seem to have the time to spare at the moment .

here is a pic of roughly what it should look like before you put the lid on and seal it all up in the messy silicon .

I will try tonight to finish the how too off .

also dont worry about the driver config it has been set By taskled for best use so it is ready to go with all the right settings .

Mine just tuned up at work too – looks brilliant and so compact! Only have to wait till 4pm till test time 😀

Chris,

Could you please give an update to those who have not yet received their lights.

I'm not being impatient, just askin'. Do we wait for you to contact us?

I for one have not been contacted and neither have I paid the remaining 50% of the light's balance

Cheers

Nigel

Please could you also *post a price list of all the various options?

Can 'we' but a baby trout with a XPG yet?

Thanks

*Apologies if this is already in this loooong thread

Chris, what sort of gauge of wire do you use? I need to pop in to Maplins Saturday so it'll be handy to know what to get.

bugger – mine must still be in the post!

Mine arrived! 😀

But i was out 🙁

Note from postie says it is left with neighbour.. but didn't say which one 👿

Been to three with no luck 🙄

*neighbour blinds cat*

Chris – what's that odd bridge you have soldered in over the top of the driver board?

Got mine and working fine, cheers Chris

Bloody hell Scott you have built that quick . 😯

chris, any idea when mine will be ready mate….please

troutie can you leave mine until after the strike.
knowing my luck it will get lost in the post caos.

Update my end. Chargers never turned up as should of today. But as soon as I get them, Tomorrow hopefully now, I will send them DHL 24Hr up to troutie. That will be Thursday earliest now.

On behalf of troutie and myself thank you for putting up with the initial delay in getting these lights/ kits out to you, we never thought the demand would be as high as this and it has caught us completely off guard. Bear in mind we build the batteries/ lights up in our spare time and if anything the praise should be directed to mrs trout and mrs smudge for putting up with the 2 of us over these last few weeks.

Thanks again
smudge,

lets see those lights in action 😛

Ton yours is done and waiting for the bastid chargers

and so is yours Rob

chris, let me know when and i can come and collect it it is ok.
pay the remainder in cash???

cheers troutie.did you get the funds ok.
