DottyDoo 500 Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 any lamp by lighforce will do the job, size will depend on size of fields Quote Link to post

wirral countryman 2,110 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 Birddog,I think that would depend on your amount of time out lamping,I'm only out for 3 or 4 hours these day's and I always take a spare lamp and battery with me in the van,my mate brings his as well so we tend to lamp and slip turn about,one at a time,I've not flattened my lithium battery yet and it weighs nothing at all,I can only comment on my own use,maybe other's that go out for longer can give you the info,atb,wirralman Quote Link to post
lurcherman 28 Posted February 11, 2011 Report Share Posted February 11, 2011 14amp with a lance but you will need 22amp with a striker, Quote Link to post
