Malt 379 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I've got a 140 lance, paid about 90 quid for it of eBay few years back and it's going well. Bought a 7ah 12v battery for about £13 just to get me going and it's been enough for me with the short trips out I can manage. Got this charger for it: http://www.battery-force.co.uk/detail_AMSLAB001A-Ansmann-ALCS-2-24A-SLA-Battery-Charger.html Battery: http://www.battery-force.co.uk/detail_PSPS12001E-Power-Sonic-PS1270-12V-7.0Ah-SLA-Battery.html Quote Link to post

Personally i have a striker and a blitz, the bigger models BUT ther are between -110 so again more than your budget. A lance is more than suitable for lamping rabbits and a damn sight better then a clulite, i had them for years until i got my foirst lightforce and couldnt believe the difference Quote Link to post

Downside is it's size ! You can't hide it in your pocket ! LOL ! I use 12v 12a sealed batteries, carry one and a spare in the car. They do me a night. I got an electronic charger from Maplins for about £18. They don;t boil the battery and are fool proof, can't cause damage if connected the wrong way ! All teamed up with an old army gas mask case, does the job for me ! Cheers. do you not find it a bit of a c**t to carry round and handle,, and your right about the hiding it part.. copper ask me one night why have you stolen someone sky dish ahahahah Drill a hole in the handle, legnth of para cord and hang it round my neck Works ok for me !

Simoman 110 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 With regards to the size of the blitz, is is a little big but there is a loop above the hanlde, just put some string through it and carry it around your neck............. Quote Link to post
