Don 5 Posted October 6, 2011 Report Share Posted October 6, 2011 First lamp I bought was called a nightblaster, it done the job, got lightforce 170 now. Had it for 3 mths, still don't think you could go wrong with a clulite, thinking about changing back, seem better build quality and that 2nd light is dead handy when your crossing gates, hedges or hiding in a ditch lol!
