light as f**k on the gun dont even know you've got a battry it last a full two hours but you will never have the lamp on for two hours solid i have been out for 5 hours shooting with it and its still has lots of charge in it,

you get a red filter in with it The beam is about 100 meter only problem is you can only get a red filter but what i have done is got some bigger filter and turned them down in the lathe to fit the lamp!

And this is the one I use and more and more people are turning to them for lamping bunnies with air rifles..

 

Identical to the Deben one, a third of the price and twice the light output. further Batteries and charger are available for a couple of quid. Took only a week to arrive :D

Hello mate,

 

Your scope remains mounted to the rifle, and the lamp then mounts on to your scope.

not with the mount supplied it wont yah will have to buy another mount, or get all blue peter an make yah own. there are some on evilbay that use velcro to attach it to your scope

the mount that comes with the lamp phantom is showing on the lick is to mount strate to rifle , have a look at the pic in the link. maybe diffrent mounts needed???

 

Yes, your correct, I used to use the same one that RiffRaff is showing in his link to eBay.

However a friend of mine gave me one of those figure of eight mounts made from metal, so I mounted the original mount (that came with the scope) onto the scope, upside down (my scope has a 30mm tube) and then I put the lamp into the figure 8 mount and fastened the figure 8 mount to the scope mount, bit of a hassle but its brilliant and rock solid :thumbs:

 

But the velcro one is certainly good enough :yes:

I find scope mounted lamps are a pain in the arse,you have to point the gun all over the shop while lamping which is a tit ache when they is a lot of bunnies on the ground, i prefer to have the sling over my shoulder and lamp with my free hand, and with a bit of practice you can still lamp and shoot at the same time,get a 7volt 10amhr lithion ion battery with a clulite and you wont go far wrong.
