you're dog must love walking with you at night :lol:

Thanks uplink but its to a company and they don't accept paypal, gotta be done through a bank.

You can get lock on 2.5mm dc connectors. Also remember to tell troutie if you will be using a lumicycle battery as the polarity will be reversed to his standard light

Troutie has only put the XPE's in for testing. The XPG's aren't out yet :wink: not long now though

Are those playing cards getting bigger or lights getting smaller :lol:

The logos finish them off in style, well done mate. All you need know is the bits to go in them :wink:

should have answer on leads in the morning

Popped in to see MrT this afternoon and can honestly say these new housings rock and the new clamps finishes them off perfectly.
And thanks for the carpet 8)

Nice job done their Swift. good idea with the innertube over the battery.
As for the lumens war, so long as you go out biking I really dont think it matters what lumen power you have.

Unless you know what you are doing jonk please dont go there.
I'm sure like others have said if you ring HopeTech up direct they can sort it out for you.

And yes the protection circuit should protect against under-discharge, Over-charge and also short circuit protection. One of the main reasons about leaving the battery approx 40-50% charged for long periods is because the protection circuit continues to drain the battery even when not in use. Although this is only a few milliamps this can build up over time and will continue to 0V if left for long periods. Also Li-ion cells dont like being left 100% for long periods either.

let us know hoe you get on anyway Jonk.

Hi yah :-)
sorry for not being on for a while but snowed under at the minute, Only been back from hols a week ago, tonnes of emails gotten through 8O. Thank you for all you're kind comments. daughter's just started secondary school and have been converting our loft into a study room for her …. and me :wink:

Thanks for letting me know you got it ok garry, but remember those prices arent fixed so to speak and are dictated by the Exchange rate.

But I think i'm now up to date on emails so if anyone is awaiting for a reply please email me again.

….. popping back into the loft to do a bit more wiring.

cheers drive,
if still joy or a bit worried, if you would like to post it to me to look at I dont mind having a go for you

did i ever tell you i worked in a cardboard box factory…. I earnt a packet

warm it up gently with a hairdryer to get the tape tacky again?.
OR is there anything you can dab a bit of superglue to (small plastic rod) to bond onto the bottom ( not too much to smear across the whole cell and case) and then pull out

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)

Approx 40*40*150mm (could pop it into a bottle if you want) OR 40*80*70mm

I can see a new line coming along soon …………

TROUTSHOWERS !!

The smaller youre lights are going the neater they are looking MrT
A nicely built 2.6Ah Li-Ion battery is just the right compliment for about a 2 1/2hr light time.

as it worked out he never sold it :lol:

perhaps he going back to uni ….. to nick something else

At the moment in talks, but it will either be 2.4 or the higher rated 2.6Ah. but bear in mind I only deal with high quality cells, I have my reputation you know. and also 2 cell chargers to go with them.
But please don't email me just yet as I will let you all know in due time and keep you updated as I go along

Just to keep you all updated, I shall shortly be able to supply Li-Ion cells with the protection circuit inside and also twin cell chargers for use with them. So they will be ideal for the lights most of you are using at the moment 8)

The Navigon 3300 Max Sat Nav looks pretty good and has good reviews £120 from halfrods
It also shows roads not as lines, but realistically, with asphalt and road markings.
Wouldnt mind hearing from anyones who'se got one of these

I'd like a 1,000 lumen+ helmet light with high/low light power.
A built in battery for an approx 2-3 hr bike ride on max.
The back of the light would have a connector that would allow charging through and more importingly an additional battery could be plugged into it that would just have a long lead from you're camelback.

Oh, also maybe a couple of small or one red led on the back of the light.

mrs smudge said it would be good for me to come second for a change :oops: :lol:

oh yeah baby i'm 2nd 8)

Its a bit of a killer when you have one of youre fantasy players playing against you're own team though.

It was a lucky weekend, well thats my take on everyone above me! not a single draw in the prem last saturday and Arsenal banging all those goals against Everton. Then you have manure resting half their team, more games tomorrow night

and what p1sses me of even more lately is more or more drivers arent indicate before they turn left

mcmoonter, email troutie as he carries alot of lenses/optics for his builds and he may have a solution for you

nice find woody

53 so far entered :P I was quietly confident, but think i'll settle for a champions league spot now

its great not knowing each others team till the deadline, i reckon it will be the cheapo players that make or break the points though. I was going to sign delph the new villa player but mega expensive for a part player.

2 days to go… anyone one else interested in joining the league and enjoy the banter once the season gets started

No harm in that gozarch, think of the stick we'll be getting if you win :oops: :cry:

I know, it highlights injured players which helps a fair bit
atleast you can re-arrange youre team before the deadline.

I'm working on it at the minute 8)
just waiting for some info from mr trout

I have also set up a 'I know the score' league

Mini-League Joining Code: FAFB6-PWX

mcboo,
Let troutie sort you out with the light then email me for the battery and charger afterwards

I posted a bikeframe last week and used DHL. I was really impressed with their service, picked up and delivered in 24Hrs for about £12

Use DHLSAVE and you get 10% discount.

Showerman.
2.6Ah is approx 40*40*70mm
5.2Ah approx 40*40*140mm

I can house them in a bottle if you prefer.

Thanks for youre kind comments 8)

cool man,
thanks Andy for ressurecting the thread … let the best team win 8)
