Did you have the housing purposely made. Looks like it was on a lathe and then anodized.

Haha, that would be giving away some secrets...

 

 

 

I do have one custom one, but would have worked out waaaay too pricey so got this one off a torch. Had to have a special heatsink insert turned so I could mount the emitters though.

I am interested. Would need to know how much before I would place an order and also what kind of light this puppy pushes out.

 

If you PM me an estimated price range I could tell you yay or nay.

Yip - PM when you have pricing and a description of how you would attach to the bars - presume too big for the helmet?

Same here. Very nicely made. Beats the pants of the 20Watt Halogen Downlight shoved into a cut off Pick and Pay torch light with the 2KG 4AH battery I keep having to duct tape to my down tube.....

Looks good. If the price is right, I will take one aswell. Please don't use the bottle for a battery.
