allenyeates 3 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Looking or a new lamp, pretty much decided on a Lightforce Striker but was looking at the Nite Stalker 800,000cp. Has any member got or had a nite stalker. Any info most welcom. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to post
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 Not had one myself, but local dealer is selling them for 50 quid and you get a free filter, any colour with it. At the end of the day there nearly an identical copy of the striker and at that money you could buy two for the price of a striker, mite go for one myself. Quote Link to post

martinhalli 735 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 just bought a nite stalker 170 it does the job fine 4 me, only complaints i have are the beam spreads slightly and the filter is a bit stiff to get off for the price im pretty happy Quote Link to post
peefa 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 I have a light force copy and must say it is much brighter than the original and i prefer the rocker switch on the back of the lamp much better than the lightforce one i had with the push button switch in the trigger position. A friend of mine now has the original and when shone side by side the copy has a spot twice as bright makes the lightforce look dim, both have the same 100w xenon bulbs. Will try and get some pics of them in use together then you can see for yourself. Quote Link to post
mat p 0 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 (edited) i was going start a new thread regards light force lamps but ill jump on this one instead basically they are shite i have the blitz and the next one down i think its the light force strikeror something like any way firstly i changed all the connectors to plas plug ones which eradicated that problem then the flex cable keeps snaping for no reason so ive now replaced that for some heavy duty flex but im not happy about it as i payed decent coin for these lamps and they have let me down 3 or 4 times which is frustrating when your walking the fields. hope the copies are better made than the real thing thats for sure.

ASME IX 1 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 iv got the night stalker 180,its basicly the same as a lightforce but heavier duty,the beam is prety much the same,night stalker lamps come with a streight wire(about 100m of the stuff as well) as apose to a coiled wire.if i had to choose id go for night stalker.pitty they dont do a variable power version. regards asme9 Quote Link to post
whippet08 8 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 i have a Nitestalker220 (same as Lightforce Blitz) which is a very good lamp no problems with it atall,i decided it was abit to bright for the size of fields i run on,but if your after the 180, it will also be a very good lamp,i brought the Clulite Lazerlite recently with a pop up filter,perfect lamp, i would recomend also p.s never had a lightforce so cant comment,but have heard nothing but problems with them,except they apparently have a very tight beam hope this helps Quote Link to post
the lamping ferreter 160 Posted November 17, 2009 Report Share Posted November 17, 2009 they are the best lamps that you can get i have a 220mm plenty bright enuff for all quarry and as light as a fether but you need a good battery to power it i.e a golf trolly battery or a small lawn mower battery Quote Link to post

doga 50 Posted November 18, 2009 Report Share Posted November 18, 2009 a friend of mine has one and to be fair when working as good a lamp as youle get but hes had wiring and switches replaced and still it breaks down,he even said an electrician said the switch may be a warmer switch,one youve got to switch on three or four times befor it warms up boliocks a lamp should come on strait away and for that money be very reliable.
