Was it up to the job??? Pernod definitely, I must admit it was a lot better than I was expecting. Really tight bright beam for short and medium range, it's probably not quite good enough for long range stuff, even though it does shine a good couple of hundred meters but probably not bright enough at that kind of range to be good enough....the 1600 may be though? might invest in one of them aswell with them being so cheap! But yes, for short and medium range they are bloody brilliant, I definitely won't be carting a battery around with me again for the fields that I go on! The only thing that did get on my tits was the fact that it has three settings, dull, flicker and bright (in that order). You change settings by pressing the button half way down, but the problem is when you switch it off the process of pressing the button means that it goes to the next setting, so if you have it on bright and switch it off, when you next switch it on it'll be back on dull and you have to flick through the flicker setting to get back onto bright......a way around it is to go onto the flicker setting before switching it off so that next time you switch it on it's already on bright.....a bit niggly but I have to say, that's its only fault as far as I can tell. Definitely recommended! Very happy with it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ulverston moocher 60 Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 I have a 400 lumen torch that takes 2aaa batteries and the beam on that is ideal for shooting with the air rifle so my deben pro and logun lamp are now all but retired but mine is as rob said the one with 3 modes and it is a pain in the arse but that is the only downside to mine going to use the link now to buy one of the 800 lumen ones and going to have a look at the 1600 as well then I can maybe retire the striker and 12volt 17amp batterie for going out with the lurcher.
