Nade 1 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 (edited) Hi, Im looking to get a lamping kit, I haven't been educated enough to know the difference between top quality and moderate lamping kits. Im looking to get a decent enough one, preferably under £50, just wanted to know if any of you would be able to specify me a decent lamping kit. High appreciated. Thanks alot. PS. Ive found this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gun-Light-Kit ... 850wt_1163 Is this worth the price? Can anyone supply me a second hand one? EDIT: I use a Air Arms Pro Sport, hunting Rabbits.

neil82 1,080 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 that looks ok for a starter kit, only thing i would add is to pay a bit extra and get both filters (bunnies can get lamp shy to coloured beams as well as white so it can pay to vary the filter you use) only thing that mite go wrong is the torch but a torch alone isnt too expensive to replace its the mount and pressure switch thats expensive Quote Link to post
dogvixen01 34 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 you need to explain what type of target you are after ie rabbit,rat etc .and what gun you are going to use it on . this will enable people on here to give you the best advice.atb Quote Link to post
fry 209 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 i would try for one that took AAA batteries Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted September 18, 2011 Report Share Posted September 18, 2011 I have a good little torch 120 lumen, focusable beam, dimmable to 10% of output, takes 2 x AA batteries, will fit in a standard torch/scope clamp, cost £25, add on a £10 clamp, cost £35, more than good enough for air rifle work!! Have a photo... have a link http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.208-7946.aspx and if it goes wrong, at least with Tesco you can take it back! Quote Link to post

Rake aboot 4,936 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Never found filters any good,, just lamp them on a white light Also never found a small torch worth having, Have a look at this bit of kit,, much better and worth getting http://www.deben.com/gun-lights/tracer-tri-star-pro-gunlight.html Quote Link to post
markha 99 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 On my air rifle I have been using the LED Lenser P7 with gun mount kit. Very very bright focusable beam ( from flood to spot ), takes 4AAA batteries that last ages, comes with scope mount and tail switch with pressure pad to stick on your stock. Happy days and not far off your bidget : http://www.torchdirect.co.uk/professional-torches/led-lenser-p7-inc-gun-mount-pressure-switch.html Quote Link to post

Happy days and not far off your bidget : http://www.torchdire...[bANNED TEXT]-switch.html i use one of these i had to bodge a filter on it but i see you can buy them now! shit hot light but i found with no filter it made em run probably because it blinded them it is very bright indeed. i would guess 200 yards + without a filter. and as said the batteries last a looong time. cheers.

Simple, Quality Street wrappers over the lens end, held on with rubber band, tip give the wife the Quality Street and collect the wrappers, gets you bonus points! You can have a red filter, a green filter, a yellow filter and orange filter and a purple filter, supplied with free chocolates! Quote Link to post
bsa rifles 3 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 does the p7 come with scope mount? it says barrel mount? Regards Dean Another vote for the p7, and yes it comes with scope mount. Quote Link to post
Nade 1 Posted September 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 Ive been looking at Deben Tracer LedRay GL4 Gun Light, 180 Lumens, 120 metre beam, 8 Hour burn time. This just is over my budget, but id rather spend alittle more and get something more effective. I wanted to know, What bulb do i get, Ive been hearing i should get White and get a Red Filter, or just getting a red bulb. Whats my best option? Quote Link to post
markha 99 Posted September 19, 2011 Report Share Posted September 19, 2011 does the p7 come with scope mount? it says barrel mount? Regards Dean Yes its a scope mount and will mount up to a 35mm dia scope body Quote Link to post
