steptoe jet 4 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 looking at ianhodgefieldsports and it says the striker with 17ah batt lasts 4.5 hrs and the blitz with 17ah lasts 7 hrs dosent make sense to me is this wrong? Quote Link to post
steptoe jet 4 Posted August 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 Just buy the blitz/striker reflector, they'll fit on the lance. Plus you'll save a few quid, the replacement reflectors are only about £60. thanks for the advice but im going to keep the lance as a spare so dont want to alter it Quote Link to post
DOVEY182009 12 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 thanks for replys cant decide now looks like its 50/50, variable might be too awkward to use as i have 2 dogs on slips?is it a twist knob on back of lamp? Oh i it does ur head in trying to lamp with 2 dogs on slips. Using variable is no different to just lamping mate u uase ur thumb. Quote Link to post

DOVEY182009 12 Posted August 25, 2010 Report Share Posted August 25, 2010 If u lamp quite big land i would defanatly recomend the blitz. If i go out with my mates and use their striker it dose my tits in now lol Quote Link to post
rocky070707 30 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 blitz mate it do every think if you are walking or a striker if you are drive in atb Quote Link to post
Fat-Ferret 857 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I have used both, but find the Blitz catches the wind too easily on an especially windy night... Quote Link to post
captain jack sparrow 8 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 had both blitz good for big fields but awkward climbing over fences etc,striker spot on for allround thats what im useing now Quote Link to post
Lost Generation 93 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I've got both, and only use the blitz from a vehicle as it's too big and clumsy for walking and the beam isn't much different to the striker anyway Quote Link to post
Rory4 267 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 would say if driving and big fields, big quarry blitz, if walking, specially somewhere you shouldnt striker, the blitz lights up about 3 fields mr farmer more chance of seeing it and dont want to be carrying that on run! defunly get variable if can afford Quote Link to post
Top Lamper 2k10 169 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Blitz are the ultimate lamp lyk Quote Link to post
bird 9,868 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 striker bang on for any feild+quarry Quote Link to post
Guest fence_hopper Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 piece of piss using the veriable lamp like said you user your thumb, i have both blitz and striker veriable i mainly use the stricker as its easier to handle. the blitze ight be the ultimate lamp but its also heavy going speciely if your trying to look from the car its like a kite.

Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Think you will find that most hunting MEN use the blitz; it’s a man’s lamp. Quote Link to post
