[Closed] Spider eyes helmet light ( bonkers content )

Chris, I'd be happy to volunteer to be a guinea pig to test that mad light at Mayhem! It would be fantastic alongside my Lib3 !!!!!

Hi Graeme

If your happy to strap 150 grams to your helmet I will post it to you .
drop me a mail with your address .

Might make the Lib seem a bit dim though 😈

Luminous settings same as before

Whoo whoo I got me a working spidereyes again seeing as the first is still on walkabout somewhere down south at the moment I believe

<insert sci-fi robot head comment here>

- when can we expect production runs?

nice
are you going to make these if so price with a battery to run appox 1.1/2hrs would make a nice crimbo pressey

Is it the angle, or do they look significantly different to the originals??

really interested in one of these - what batteries do they need?

Chris, I still have the Spidereyes. I had lurgy and not ridden for a week but hopefully out to test it again this weekend and our Monday ride then I'll post it on to the next borrowee.......

Probably too late for crissy pressies before any available
still need some fine tuning of the secondary optic the one that is supposed to give some near to the bike light .

and it also needs a bit of a diet .

Steve will use any 14.8 volt or larger battery

Cheers Flashy any idea where its going next .

So Chris how does the spec of the production light compare to the bonkers prototype that's still touring the uk?

It looks like it has been designed by Pixar. Really neat.
Want one 🙄

This one has three XMLs ( the original has 2 xmls and 2 XPGs )

Thats all really

Oh and this ones red and a bit smoother 😉

So output is ....

What's the little light at the bottom? reading light or something, roughly how many lumen?.

Chris, I asked you on Sunday, but can't recall your reply. Do these type of lights need a regular airflow, like on a bike?. I'm thinking in terms of whether it could also be used for camping light/walking/climbing/dog walking?.

Could the little light run off a small battery (2.2ah) in some sort of headtorch strap arrangement. A bit like this (minus the helmet).

I like the new version, very war of the worlds

hmmmmmmmmmm i like... 🙂

Great looking bit of kit!!

The bottom is a flood to fill in near the bike as the two eyes send a narrow beam into the distance with no spill .you can annoy your mates from 300 metres behind .

theoretical output 3000 lumens

but actual maybe 2000 Chris Wilks has measured the one thats on tour and lumens for that one is about 1300 but its not the ammount of lumens its how they are used .

All very impressive trout, but when am i going to see full production of the all singing all dancing helmet light as featured on here back in the summer, as modelled by me.

I'll be more than happy to Trial and promote them across the SW and wherever else i wander.
I find myself without any lights this winter, so would love to adorn my helmet with one of your offerings. Even if is does look a little daft 😉

when I measured the spidy eyes 1 I may have lost a bit of light from the bottom LED's as I was concentrating on collecting all the light from the 2 main eyes into the integrating sphere.
The port size on the sphere I was using was a little small.

I can use a bigger port to make sure that all the light is collected, but the calibration is much harder and less accurate.

The luminous paint that causes the green rings will also absorb some light, although I don't expect that to be a big effect.

Happy to try again for spidy 2 if you like.

sharki - I'll gladly measure your prototype too, although I think I can accurately predict the result 🙂

Please put me on a provisional list for the Spider eyes.
thanks.

Quality pic from sharki

someone find me an aluminium fish around that size and I will make a light for sharki from it

Hi Chris, did you get my Emails ?
I still have the 1/2 spider proto, which is amazing anyone that sees it in Thetford Forest !!
Got some potential developments to discuss with you too ;o)
I`ll find time to give you a bell one evening soon 😉

Umm, I want a set of spidy's AND DD just for the hell of it 😛 + it's red *drooling*

...oh forgot to say that sharki's picture is inspired, I think. I bet it's going to start a trend? 'Show me your wild-life Headcandy'.

PS: is that a bull-head?

cr500dom, is there a pic of the 1/2 spidy proto? I might fancy trying that specifically for a headtorch (I live near Chris so could pass it on afterwards).

There is on Trouties website I think ?

Dom last email I have seen from you was early October

From page 1 of the tread is this the 1/2 spider eyes talked about above?

i love the look of that one /\

the more industrial the better!

any idea when we might be able to get our hands on a spider eye?
