cheap car lamping


Recommended Posts

a lot of peoples lamping career started off with one of those terrible handhelp spotlights with the built in battery that lasts all of five minutes in the feild, and once you get a decent torch or just give up on that idea it ends up in the cupboard to die a dusty death...

 

anyway this was the way it was for me and my cluson shootalite has been brilliant but it runs out of steam on thoselong nights working from the car, which is where my thrift and desperation set in :whistling: .

 

so i got the old handheld lamp, and ripped out the battery and charging diodes. then a bit of soldering later and you are left with a circuit that run a positive and negative through a bulb and a control on the switch. (i had to replace the blown bulb as well but a car headlight bulb worked fine) once this is done you can scrounge an old cigarette lighter charger an cut of the wires, connect these by way of a length of speaker cable to the positive and negative in the lamp and your done.

 

a great tool for drive by bunny blasting and for absolutely nothing, we used it last night and got 27 rabbits with the 12bores as well as a fox so it works a treat.
