Lamp wrist strap

[123456 146]

i dont know if anyone else has this problem but quite often i will have a gate that will require both hands or need both hands for taking the game off the dog and dispatching it or even to just put the rabbits in the game bag. this normally means putting the lamp between my legs which always feel like im going to drop it. so as the tracer and lightforce lamps have a thread in the handle i decided to solve this problem for my own personal use anyway.

 

firstly i drilled a 2.5mm hole in the head of an [bANNED TEXT] 10mm cap head, i then put some 2.0mm steel plastic dipped lanyard which i crimped with a aluminium ferrule. now i know from in house that the break weight of this is 1.5 tonne.

 

tried it weekend and i thought it worked great

I prefere it round my neck a boot lace/whatever throw the little eye at the top at the lightforce, And its round your neck and both hands free, Same principle as your like having both hands free when lamping

I considered it round my kneck tiny but thought it would restrict movement, that's why I made a wrist strap so I can just let the lamp go but still be able to hold it up should I need to or hold it at full arms length

I find round the neck best. If you use thick clothing elastic you're less likely to hang yourself when you fall through a hedge/wall you're crossing.

(Grab the elastic in your teeth when climbing a gate so the lamp isn't banging against it).

same as tiny,, legth of cord round my neck,, you can compleatly let go,,even leaving the lamp on so theres light for climbing gates ect..

 

having it tied to your wrist,, its will still get in your way it will flap about evry time you move that hand

I tried the round the kneck and didn't like it that's why I opted for the wrist strap. Horses for course

Dances I would have thought having a catch dog, course dog, kill dog would have been more of a hinderance than a lamp?

Is it only me who just hangs the lamp around my neck. . . no need for any straps, it just hangs there fine.
