baz 463 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 cheers tomo, how do you find them lithiam batteries? thinkin of getting one....iv just burnt my battery out,so need a new one Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,067 Posted December 3, 2011 Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 well i like them ,, but there not without there issues,,,, theres a conector they do now,, where the wires come out sidways rather than upright,,,, the upright ones bend over with the weight of the coiled cable,, i can see mine aint going to last much longer,,, so if you get one order these side conector as well. i wouldnt bother with the 10 amp,, its hardly noticible how much lighter it is than the 14,,, the 14 will last 4-5 hours with the striker, bang a 50w bulb in and double your time Quote Link to post

If i put a Blitz head onto my Striker it would just be the exact same brightness and what not as buying a complete Blitz, if you understand what i mean Quote Link to post

Guest vin Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 this is the 100 W Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 close up of the 30W bulb. Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 its not the same branded bulb...but i,m pretty sure it will do the same job..you could try a 50w of the same set up ...just make sure the fillament is facing the same way as the one in my previous picture posted... (i think the term is.."Axial Filament Vertical" ) there cheap enough at that price..but if you go into your local motor spares place (not halfords or major chain etc etc) just the little shop where all the local taxi drivers get there spares etc..you will probably get one off the shelf. http://www.thelightbulb.co.uk/product-13206/Standard-Halogen-Capsules/35watt-12volt-GY6-35-Cap-M75 Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Well i brought a 50w y'day and had a couple of hours last night (Dont know why weather was crap and light), But iam more than happy with the 50w the battery i used last night would be dead in hour and half, But was still full of life and never dulled any all night so £6 well spent, And iv ordered the 30w from the above so well see how i get on with that. Vin mate thanks for all the help/info via PM's ect Atb T 7 Quote Link to post
