Troy 3 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 The light force range mate.I have the 170 striker but the only thing i have had problems with is the wiring.Apart from that excellent lamp. Quote Link to post
scouser3038 1 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Nice one troy!!! is yours the variable one an do u need it??? Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Ive got both, the lightforce is a good lamp, but for just normal lamping bunnies the cluelite is just as good, plus it has the work light and lasts longer on the battery. MOLL. Quote Link to post

scouser3038 1 Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Striker it is i think? Anyone know whether to get the variable one an the cheapest place to get it?? Thanks for the advice!!!! Quote Link to post
Guest MOLLY Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 dont the lightforce have a lot tighter beem than the clu lite tho ive not used the lightforce but from what people say its the better light if it wasnt for the wireing but yes the little light do come in handy Not much tighter, if any they are alot brighter and can shine for further...handy for lamping hares, but since its now banned the good old cluelite is just as good for bunnies imo. Dont get me wrong, out of the 2 i tend to use the lightforce more, but its just cos it was my first lamp and im more used to it, but i dont have a worse night when using the cluelite Bob, if you know what i mean?

ASME IX 1 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 the light force lamps do have a tighter beam pattern,ie,,the cluson light has a horizontal bulb filament,giving a rugby ball shaped beam were as the light force has a virtical bulb filament giving a perfectly round beam patern. ps if any one has recently bought lightforce bulbs from arthercarter fieldsports it might be worth checking them as i bought two at the welsh show,they wasnt genuine bulbs!!!!!! the was normal halogen type(that go in traffic lights) that u can buy for about £4 from electrical stores regards asme Quote Link to post
Guest john2007oliver Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 My post on smoochers the majority was picking clulite over lightforce. Been told the wiring is a b*****d? Clu lite alot cheaper too, .. i think there blazor similar price to striker? but i might be wrong? Quote Link to post
Guest world.hunters Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 get a laserlite mate you cant go wrong with em i like that signiture of yours, :whistle: Quote Link to post
snoopdog 1,256 Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 well i might aswell have my say i like the 170 but if you get one of those always make sure you have some insulation tape in you kit now i take the clue lite as a spare lamp just in case the lightforce lets me down ....plus on the cluelite its got a better filter system ..what i mean by that its got a ball joint so it dosnet make any noise when lifting the filter up were as the lightforce its a clip on filter and its a pain in the arse .. so my advice is get both i .. have had a few probs with the wireing on the lightforce but its all basic wiring so its easy to fix even when out in the feild once you get used to it as i have had to do now and again ....all the best snoop Quote Link to post
