lapin2008 1,587 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Looks too much like a big lamp to be used in a subtle way, not got any experience with one though Quote Link to post

trenchfoot 4,243 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I use one on small fields upto 5/6 acres. btoh with dog and gun. great little lamp. the dogs took a while to adjust to the white tight beam after using a "normal" lamp. If I am lamping bigger land I still take it as a back up lamp. I have had it nearly 3 years now and it gets charged on a regular basisand as yet no loss of performance. Like it so much I bought another at the Midland game fair. Quote Link to post
Tyla 3,179 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I bought a clu briter after seeing a friend using one and being very impressed. IMO they are ideal for a subtle mooch with the dogs or to use with a rimmy or airgun. My only gripe is that the beam is a bit too tight, unless you have ninja reflexes its bloody hard not to lose a rabbit in the beam if it really starts putting the turns in. The dogs also seem to struggle seeing squatters with it for some reason. Overall though its bloody handy and at £44 you cant go wrong Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 trouble with torches off ebay they say so many lumens and when you get them its disapointing.google inovatech they are the biz. Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,164 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I've got a clu one. Very impressed and ideal for a short mouch. Very light too. It's probally more suited to Rifle shooting but I'll find out tonight as im taking the dog after a few bunnys. Quote Link to post
lurche 48 Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 k let us know what you think Quote Link to post
moonlighter 1,164 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Just been out works great. Dog got 4 rabbits in a grass padock and on the way home I squeeked 3 foxes into about 30 yards with the lamp out of the truck window. Very impressed for £45. Quote Link to post
wirral countryman 2,110 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 I bought one at the midland,been out for little mouch last 3 nights and I'm very impressed with it,it won't take the place of my main lamp when out proper but excellent for a quick shine,also classed as a torch by the law so very hard to prove you're lamping,there are a lot of lads over my way using them for that reason alone,atb,WM 1 Quote Link to post
zx12edge 1,001 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Bought one last year well worth the £45 handy little torch Quote Link to post
