Had a Deben Electronics Blue Eye lamp years ago - it was 110,000 candle power and I used it loads. Great little lamp to use when you weren't meant to be where you were as it was just bright enough withiut lighting up for miles around. Lost it one night in a kinda tight situation...do Deben still make lamps?

ELY BOAT CHANDLERS STILL SELL THEM,I THINK THEY ARE GREAT LAMPS FOR STARTING YOUNG DOGS WITH,THE BEAMS ARE SO TIGHT WITH NO SIDE GLARE THE DOGS SOON PICK UP THE GAME.

Still got mine hung up in the shed, cracking lamps but the bloody clicker switch that on a still night could be heard for a couple of fields away

 

Damn good beam on a slightly misty night or heavy drizzle

Yeah they were sealed units and you're right they were costly to replace but they were excellent bits of kit.
