Lightforce Lance (140)

[Malt 379]

I've recently bought a Lightforce Lance (140), and was wondering if anybody had used one for a bit of rabbiting with the dogs. I had the intentions of buying the 170 (striker) but the item was mislabelled.

 

I had the use if a cluson laserlight up until recently, I was very impressed with the build quality of it, but not so with the focus of the beam.

 

Has anybody had the use of the laserlight/lance, and could anybody tell me if the beam on the lance is better.

 

Cheers.

Apart from the obvious size difference, I think the main difference between the striker and lance is that the lance only has a 50W bulb.

 

When I was asking about a variable lamp, I was told that the handle on all 3 lamps is the same, striker/blitz/lance, it is only the size of the reflector that differs, and the bulb size in the lance, so ............ get it apart and see if a 100W bulb will go in it, if it does (and I'm reliably told it does) then you're sorted.

 

Does the lance make as much noise when you knock it as the striker does, flipping thing is like a drum!

 

I think that might help, if it doesn't then just ignore me, I'm rambling again lol

nope ur right ss the 100w bulb will go straight in...mal the 140 is more than adequate for the kind of ground round pembs..if uv been using a clulite its gunna feel like ur wealding a light saber anyhow [bANNED TEXT]..... if it doesnt suit all the time you can probably just get a spare dish later on... or put up a wanted thread if anyone has one you might get it cheap or free...

i got told the 100w bulb would damage the lance reflector(with heat etc as its smaller)never tried it though so it could be ok.

so can you get different reflectors and bulbs and use on the one hand set ?
