1600 Lumen Cree from China off Ebay

[JohnGalway 1,043]

This is the best and the worst of the internet, we all can share info on what we have/will have, but most of us live too bleedin far away to get to directly compare

Can anybody give me a link to one of these on eBay? The cheaper ones will do me.

 

Someone said they got one including batteries and the battery charger.

 

Thanks

What about battery life ? they do seem a nice bit of kit , but pricey

mine was just over £20 with batteries and charger its the 1600 lumen one, ive been out for well over 2hrs and it still going strong on the way back

This one sounds about right. Does anybody have the link?

I had the pup out the other night with the nightmaster 800 i only seen 4 rabbit's but it picked them up no bother and i got 4 run's..i had no problem keeping them in the beam..but a more experienced lamping dog would of had a better chance i would say...the only fault i found with the torch on the type of land i run is once the rabbit has hit cover the beam is not wide enough at close quarter's to light the hedge up enough to give the dog a chance of nailing the bunnies in cover..but when the cover has died back i don't see this being a problem..time will tell i suppose..

 

Edited to add here is a picture for Paulus of one of it's other good uses..

Thanks guys, have seen some with 3800lm for the same price- would this be better, or too many lumens?

Thanks

It depends what you want it for, very bright torch but more of a flood than spot also i don,t think the batteries last long enough and you can,t keep it on the high setting for to long.

Millet, just the man I'm looking for! I see you have a clulight jobby. Simple question, are they any good? I'm after a decent lamp that'll drop into a coat pocket. I really like the secondary bulb on them as well for gates/ditches etc.

 

Sorry to highjack the thread but just looking for a quick answer....

Iv just been on ebay an bought the lumen cree 1800 for £14.49 will be easier than charging the striker just for a quick flick round if they are any good?

Thank you all for the help, now is there any difference between these 'brands'? I have seen loads but most look the same with just a different name on them.

Thanks
