Top idea 
I've never got past the torch on the bars level but have always wanted to build a set. Just got a new torch as I needed a charger :roll: Currently have around 3400 lumens in 5 torches at the moment, ones getting helmet mounted. You any ideas? I'd love to see a mikee retro inspired housing. Have you looked at the singletrack guys lights? Or had a look round candlepower forums?

it was kinda an something we did at work a few times
to be honest the whole luxeon /cutter stuff stopped the whole thing
however i'm getting the bug again so maybee retro fitting some
of these modern doohickies into the old casings is the way to go
i will dig out some of my old lights (self made) and post pics up
brings back memories of the smell of melting plastic on a hillside
in the dark ,in the rain
