Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 As some of you may know i have been after a lamp and posted in wanted section. I have just (by massive co-insidence) aquired a Coleman 400,000 CP Lamp, it has got cigarette lighter connector which i plan to swap for spades for my battery, i have just shined it from the motor and it looks good. Are they rated or any good? From what i can gather they are discontinued by manufacturer but cant find much info on it. How old are they? Thanks Gaz Quote Link to post
Guest blitz Posted February 4, 2011 Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 they were top of the range before the striker came out mate i,ve still got colemans 800,000 lamp still works perfect. Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 thanks for reply, is 400,000 cp enough for lamping bunnies? ive read a review that they are supposed to outshine and outlast the more modern lamps? Maybe that was the 800,000cp though. Gaz Quote Link to post

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2011 Excellent. What a find... Full story might make for a good read... Its my birthday next week and my mum n dad have been asking what I want. So I said they can get me my first lamp. I have been umming and arrring weather to go new or second hand. Ive already got battery pack and charger so only need the lamp, most lads want about 50 notes for second hand and I've seen the striker 170 for £76 on Ian hodge. Anyway tonight I decided to go new, lightforce striker. So I went mums to order online and my dad asked to look at it and see what it was like. "there is one of them in the boat" he said. They recently moved house onto a small holding and the previous owners left a canal boat behind. I thought it would be a shitty torch or if it is a decent lamp it woul be knackered. Anyway it turns out it is a fully working Coleman 400,000. It had an inch of dust on it. Cleaned it up like new and just snipped the jack off it to connect to 12v battery. Well chuffed!

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 Haha. Excellent. Thanks for info lads. Is the 400,00 about equivalent to the entry level lightforce lance then? Gaz Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted February 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I've just rigged it up to battery with spade connectors and it is sound. Does anyone know what bulb this is likely to have in it? Where I could get replacements? And could I put say a 100watt in to increase brightness? Or is 400,000cp just that and increasing bulb wont help? Cheers Gaz Quote Link to post
jarv5116 57 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 does anyone use the blue eye 400,000 or the nightblaster 400,000? and how do u rate them? cheers j Quote Link to post
Blue one 89 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 I had a Colman 800,000cp back in the 90's, lasted me for years... Wish they still made them, i got a lot of game with it.. ! Quote Link to post
