zap 4 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 dog fox the lithium battery will not cause your light to go dimmer as the power goes in the battery it holds its power then goes of Quote Link to post
Moorman 1 1,412 Posted August 29, 2009 Report Share Posted August 29, 2009 Done a few nights with mine until daylight not managed to flatten it yet.I use it then when I get home put it on charge.It lasts a full night walking with 170 striker variable power.Will never go back to dry cell.

HBG 350 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 6 hrs is six hrs to me weather walking or on back of a van :wacko:obviously there's a difference wid walking and the back of the van aint there the lamps on all the time aint it when your on the van so it wont last as long as when your walking,thats what i meant clever shite.you and others like them thats great,people i know dont,simple aint it.all i'm trying to do is find out if they would suit me,i use a blitz lamp wid a 50 watt bulb and with what i've been told there not for me,i suppose the test would be to get someone wid one on the van wid me and see how long they last.

dog fox 16 Posted August 31, 2009 Report Share Posted August 31, 2009 :11: touchy fecker ,didnt mean to sound clever pal .when youve tested it and know the answer i,d love to know the results ,think the main problem with the blitz is the 100 watt bulb and the candle power is going to drain any battery quick . if you use a 50watt bulb it should make no differnce to the beam just the battery .....as long as it was only 1 millon candle power .... but the blitz is a powerful lamp what i cant grab from there advertisment is it 1mcp or 6 mcp .but i,d say its not a good combo not like with the laserlite on a 50watt bulb . think the only way to find out for sure is to test one your self and let us know ......best of luck in the season pal and try to calm down a bit .all in good fun Quote Link to post
