Run_Rabbit85 8 Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 Seems to me some of the ones on Ebay could possibly be copys in a ucaller box with a ucaller stamp on the handle like the lightforce. Shame like as they look genuine enough with a good solid tough feel. Very good replicas if so as i was easly fooled by the way they looked and felt just didnt perform as we expected with a very wide beam like flood with a dull tight beam in veiw everything in site vanished as soon as ya had a quick blip even with the 100w bulb fitted it was just a brighter flood beam with a tad brighter tight beam in the middle even moulded a peak to the end with black perspex that then was only good for the tree top woodys n catty :whistling: Quote Link to post
Westy76 546 Posted April 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2012 Yeah got mime of eBay works fine good tight beam with a 50w bulb but no really range and was gonna get shot but someone suggested a 100w bulb and hey presto different lamp and as good as a 170 lightforce. U-caller is a gen company. Quote Link to post

hedge hunter 107 Posted April 24, 2012 Report Share Posted April 24, 2012 Hi lads i also have one of these lamps, i had the same trouble when i changed the bulb. The trouble is theres two types of bulb with different fillament, one is verticall which if i remember correctly gives a oval wide spread shape beam, also a vertical fillament which gives a tight spot beam. Howevr when i changed my bulb it never sat flush again and would move about, not giving a accurate beam, so back to my laserlite with 100w buld, or or just local work my clusson clubriter lamp, hope this helps cheers HH Quote Link to post
