Just thought I would google Troutlights to see if they had anything in progress for Autumn and the website looks dead and I can't google-up an new news on the lights.

Any ideas whats going on at Yorkshires premier MTB light developers?

    ive spent the last two weeks trying to find out how much a troutie would be...

    and the wesite only ever says "currently being updated"

    im really keen to buy one.

    but am also begining to get fed up with the amount of time its taking to change a website... most people (including myself with no experience of web design) would leave it as is and update it with an offline version lol.

    hopefully it wont take him/ them long ot sort out. or i will just have ot buy a hope

    This post on singletrack contains a response from trout regarding his lights - as I understand from the post, he has had a few 'technical' issues with a new computer!

    Hi Guys
    whilst I have beed off the radar for quite a while and am not making excuses for any lack of responses if you have emailed me recently .

    This year has had its fair share of problems in the Trout houshold with a couple of deaths in the family .early on
    so most of my time was spent supporting my wife and sorting out the estate .
    on top of that yes my cronky old computer went belly up and lost all my stuff
    ( yes it should have been backed up but :cry: )

    during that time I had a go at updating the website and made a total hash of it
    and my day job of flooring fitter which has been terrible suddenly got busy much to my banks relief .

    and to cut a long story short last week I had a guy enquire about a light and it turned out he lived fairly close and was also a Graphic designer . so a deal was done with lights and him doing an update on my website Thankfully . :)
    so there should be info going up there soon .

    The pictures for the up and coming MkIII aren't up on the site yet but the finish of the previous Liberator and the other lights look spot on!!

    Hats off for British Engineering and nouse !

    Still a bazillion times better than the old ones. If my redundancy comes through I might just treat myself to a 7 Up, or whatever the new model might be... Not that there's anything wrong with my P7s but you know, gear aquisition syndrome...

    When you find a cure for that let me know. Ive got it bad and shiny lights and things that I really don't need are not helping my recovery. :lol:

    I think there's something really nice about products that are 'homemade' with passion to this sort of standard. I'm a big fan of Exposure and I can totally see the attraction to the DX light. Guess that's why there's choice in the world.
