broonball 38 Posted July 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 thanks for the feedback lads much appreciated. i'll have to see what i can do money wise, i'd rather just wait and get a good'un now. so looks like a few weekend fiddles . i noticed the wide beam on the clulite when iv been out wi me mate so i wanted to try summat different anyway. the blitz does sound a bit big as id like to be able to tuck it away whilst walkin roads, no point attracting attention even if iv got permission. chart thanks for the offer mate i might just take you up on it. cheers Quote Link to post

stabba 10,745 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Striker is all the lamp you need unless you are on really big fields...a 17amp sealed lead acid battery will last all night with it aswell..for the weight simply use a rucksack. Dont buy a cheap lamp mate coz you will be dissappointed and end up out of pocket..atb stabba Quote Link to post
nasher1 258 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Striker 170 all the way I have the blitz but tried the head off the 170 gunlight and never looked back a much tighter beam and doesn't get blown about like the blitz Quote Link to post
Joe 2 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/store/product/33-sport-light-170-and-lithium-ion-battery/ That's what you want JB! Only the price thats the issue. The lithium batteries are excellent though if you're serious about it and going to go out lots! Quote Link to post

The lithium batteries are excellent though if you're serious about it and going to go out lots! guna go for the variable tracer with 14ah battery, at 250. whats peoples views and what sorta lamping time will i get out of it? very tempted to just go all out and get the 22ah battery but it might be surplus to requirement. i'll be out as much as possible without killing the dog, or overdoing the permission. this will be my 1st season wi the pup she is 1 in september... cant wait!! cheers Quote Link to post
