In the 18th Century when lamping began, they had lamps made by a firm called Lightforce...They were notorious badly made, the wiring gave up, fuses blew & they overheated all the time....And where just unreliable

Was talking to my mum the other day about the amount of trouseres I got through as a youngster, the back of the legs burnt through with acid from the old batteries.

Don't remeber ever buying a lamp back then they were either made or borrowed never to be returned.

You're not wrong there mate, ruined many a jacket being lamp carrier for my old man with the old motorbike battery strapped over my shoulder!

[Night Hunter 109]

you will be hard pushed to find anything that puts the coleman in the shade,I have bought and sold a few different lamps but the coleman is my tool of choice.

always used a lr6 or lr9 brilliant lamps at the time and was always on the lookout for something to make a better handle for them .we used micro switches never let you down .mind you the batteries in them days were a pain on you and your clothes. first lamp i ever purchased was blue eye but scared to take it in case we got caught lol. plus they were a bit top heavy if my memory serves me right.tbh the striker and blitz take some beating in my opinion if you sort the wiring out as soon as you get them.we all moan about them but i bet their still the most used and popular lamp on the market.just bought myself the newcluelite self containd lamp runs on aa batteries ok for small feilds but not a patch on lightforce lamps plus switch very stiff and makes tendons in wrist sore at end of night .

[Guest borntoevade1988]

i got the old blue eyes lamp awsume lamp if you want to go local or in small fields i was going to sell it but i think ill keep it now
