hi. does anyone have any tips on lamping? how to use the lamp? when to turn it off and on? just want to learn new tricks. thanks

red filter helps but not always needed.

 

try not to flash light around fast take it slowly try not to make the place look like a 1980s disco tec and scare everything away.

 

[bANNED TEXT] u spot a foxes/rabbits shine lamp over it head so u can just see the glint off its eyes as this won't blind it and it will be more encourage to walk closer towards you or sit longer.

 

go easy on the caller as to much call is way worse than to little, when it gets closer keep the volume down as if you can hear it a fox will hear it ten times louder.

 

to get them to stop without running away a pretend dog bark works the best as i have tried saying stuff like(hey boy, stop, freeze in the name of the law etc etc) they are more likely to run off at the sound of a humane voice.

Been using a red filter on + off for year's. Last winter they weren't holding very well on red , tried Green but lost too much light and ended up with an Orange filter . Plenty of light and felt as if I was invisible. Best filter i've tried yet.

Best tip by miles if you are lamping is nothing to do with filters, get a dimmer switch and use it!

+1 i've made a cheap dimmer from a dimmer unit off the bay. Cost about £5 including postage much cheaper than deben.

 

Lamping on foot or from a vehicle??
