You ask, You get

I have been wanting to do this since I started building lights, and finally got to where I felt I had done enough research to possibly succeed.

What is that you say?

Why, it's an Anodizing line of course!

Here it is next to some Naked Aluminium

This was just a quick trial run with some cheap RIT die so the color didn't stick, but I have since been able to get some good color renditions. Even if the color didn't stick on this one it got plenty of surface thickness and is hard as a rock so I think it was a great first attempt.

Colors here I come!

New Connectors

I like the weatherpack connectors, but they are a little bulky so thanks to a post over on MTBR I found some new ones that work a treat.




Helmet Mounting Options

There are two options for mounting on your noggin.

Step 1

Install included hook and loop type material to light and helmet.
Velcro strips

Peel and Stick

Helmet mount is the same, but customize for what works for you.

Step 2
Now the tough part. Push and twist.



If that isn't secure enough for you (and man do I want to ride with you if it isn't) then add a little reinforcement.



I will work on the bar mount shortly.
