We are still targeting mid-November. Production samples of the plastics and silicone showed up yesterday, and the castings should show up today or tomorrow. Been posting a lot more daily updates on our Instagram.Is there a new target date for the KS campaign? Still looking at November?

Not at this time. Focused our efforts on a great LED chip, beam pattern, the reflector, and the longer battery life thanks to the efficient chip and driver.Will there be a remote version offered at KS campaign?
Any news about the close area peak lux?The second road-beam with 1lx at 110m seems to have problem i mentioned the previous post.
Much more illuminance from 1-10m in front of the bike than in 50-100m and 20-50m distance.
An homogen illuminance distribution between close/medium/far distance would be perfect (for me).
Will you be offering just the lightheads in the kickstarter or only the complete kits?In other news, we are trucking hard to launch our kickstarter on Nov 21st or 22nd
Had a great photoshoot in Bentonville, AR, got to ride some amazing trails, and have been filming and editing for our video the last week and a half. We've decided that the super early backers will get to enjoy more than 30% off the retail price. So keep an eye here.![]()
We won't offer the lightheads on their own through the kickstarter page, however for members on here who are interested in the lighthead itself, I'll be extending the same discount and can purchase direct through myself or the website if we have it live by then.Will you be offering just the lightheads in the kickstarter or only the complete kits?
I'm thinking I already have my christmas present to myself picked out.
Thanks!

Had a lot of discussions internally about what to do, and the decision was made not to offer it through the KS page just because of the potential confusion it'd cause, no matter how many disclaimers we make that it wouldn't come with a battery pack. So will offer it, just not on the KS page itself. If that makes sense.
I've been riding the trail light for a few weeks now. And it simply is very different than normal lights. It rides more like a Seca 2500 than it does a 1500 lumen light, because of the beam pattern and design of it. It's really incredible.This oath to be a great light if everything works as described. Will you be offering both road and trail versions of the light on Kickstarter?
Though I assume what your using is a prototype this is the type of information I'm wanting to hear about these lights. More efficient usage of produced lumens is the performance potential I hoped for from reading about this design. Sounds like it's working pretty good so far. Looking forward to trying the real thing myself.I've been riding the trail light for a few weeks now. And it simply is very different than normal lights.

I've been making my own lights for >7 years now. This light just might be the one commercial light I will buy.......Looking forward to trying the real thing myself.
I'd love to do just that. Though man oh man is it hard to compete with china on price when it comes to smaller components like that. Just the cost of PCB's with LED's, the battery terminal, and a battery itself would be about the same price as a cheap taillight that anyone could get off amazon. Since I'm all about simplicity, I certainly wouldn't mind just a well designed brake light that looks cool, and does the function well enough. No need for a $110 bluetooth app controled rear tail light IMO.Maybe somewhere in the future you could acompany this light with a rear one? With your knowledge and expertise you could make a lot of people happy and make a good buck all at once. I am realy delighted with the beamshots i saw, especialy of the road light, which is i would assume more dificult to produce with good cutoff. Plenty of floodlights out there usable for the trail, not many for the road.
