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!

And it let's me do stuff like this...



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.


Peel and Stick


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

My setup



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.

thank you photobucket

Man never had to email customer service just to get a response that they were doing maintenance in the middle of the day. They could have just posted on their FAQ's.

I guess you get what you pay for.

Anyway the photos are back up if you couldn't tell

Blame photobucket

somehow my account got screwed up over there so no pics until they can either fix it or I move the photos locally to blogger

Sorry

AHHHHHHHHH

Do you hear that? It's angels singing because...

I GOT A NEW MILL!

Where is the Dancing Banana smiley when you need it?





Either my wife hates me or loves me because this is going to keep me really busy out in the garage. I am going with the latter, but you never know. :)

Bar mount pics

I have had a few requests for how you mount these on your bars. Here you go...





It is a cateye bar mount modified, of course. Velcro loops through, then doubles under so the light is locked down good and tight. It can mount either over or under the bars, really doesn't matter.
