Shameless plug to say I'll be bringing some of these to Stoneleigh if anyone wants one :)

 

Also in case anyone didn't see this in the Trader section, I thought I'd pop it here:

 

I was asked to make a version of BeamStop main beam controller that could also manage sidelights and toggle between side and main with a single button (like a Caterham).

 

I've done this, so I made a few in case anyone else is interested. They cost £85 plus postage (or I can bring to Stoneleigh):

 

The unit is connected to 12V permanent (so sidelights can work with ignition off). It only draws 5.5mA so should not be a significant problem with battery drain.

 

There are 3 relays (not included) – sidelight, headlight power and dip/main.

 

With ignition off, the headlight button will toggle sidelights.

With ignition on, the headlight button will toggle sidelights/side+headlights/off [repeat]

 

With ignition on and headlights off, the main beam switch will turn on the main beam while the button is pushed (i.e. flash function)

With ignition on and headlights on, the main beam will toggle (latch) between dipped beam and main beam.

Looks nice though but not vey clear.... My own opinion only.

I know what you mean, I couldn't read it on the iPad either, a little better on the lap top, but for those struggling:

Update to say that I've upgraded the software to allow the BlinkStop unit to also do the indicator flashing function at standard 90 flash/min - so no more problems with recalcitrant flasher relays...

No point doing anything unless you find you have a relay compatibility problem, Tim - most don't. I can always post a new chip instead of you chasing a replacement flasher relay (just contact me if you get there...)

FreeWheel Update - just wanted to report that I've just completed a 3,000 miles in 10 days Euro Tour and my 8 button FreeWheel performed faultlessly throughout - many thanks Mike.

I am an Ariel Nomad owner looking for a self cancelling indicator solution. We use toggles as well. Is Ian still active on the forum, I need to pick his brains.
