GEOFF.223 83 Posted November 15, 2012 Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 got to have a play with the nightmaster tonite. nice and small very light. the beam is extreamly narrow out to 100yards before it opens out. to be honest when u holding the torch it does not feel like £160 worth in my mind its just a over priced torch with a magnifing glass stuck on,BUT no matter what i say it still a great torch if it had a little bit of spill it would be much better BUT it was desinged to be a thrower. i have ordered a crelant 7g5 which is a very close comparisment BUT it does not come with diffrent coloured pills/led's red green etc coloured beam; which the night master does not come with but can bought separatley. do i want one ummmm YEAH Quote Link to post
GEOFF.223 83 Posted November 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2012 ooooo and it comes with a simple on off one mode switch i think. none of this; extremely low very low low medium bit more medium high-ish normal high THEN blow you head of HIGH Quote Link to post
dogvixen01 34 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 i had a look at one with the ir mounted inside . are you looking to use it with nv or as a normal type lamping set up.i didnt get to view the lamp with a white or red attachment but from what the owner told me was that he thinks for normal lamping beam would be too narrow? i was looking originally to see if it could be used to replace a heavy battery for normal lamp shooting / and possibly lamping with dogs.

paulus 26 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 i use a cheap 1600 lumen torch for most of my local lamping now adays Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 i haue a tiablo a9 u2.good distance on it and not to tight either.ideal for running dogs .personly i dont like a tight beam when running dog cause if theres and machiney or drinking troughs or that stuff about hopefuly ya dogs will see it in time and avoid collision.

dogvixen01 34 Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 i have tried a 1600 lumen torch but very bright beam but only good to about 100 yds and it has a square profile.what range do you bet with the tiablo a9 u2 and what sort of price are they.for lamping with dogs i use a 170 good out to 300 yds ,only problem carrying the heavy battery .would love a torch to reduce weight but needs to have range and needs to be able to last all night as well.if anyone has any good alternatives to a 170 i would be very interested in hearing from you.thanks.atb Quote Link to post

GEOFF.223 83 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 they shop which had the touch (nightmaster) said that it lasts easy up to 1.5hrs with one 18650 battery [bANNED TEXT] its noticeably getting duller NOW it would be very easy to carry 10 of these small batterys in your pocket with ease. there are various other torches which will shine out far i will add a list i found on the net which give model, lumens, and distance of beam.

chimpbikes 0 Posted November 18, 2012 Report Share Posted November 18, 2012 I have 2 nightmasters, 1 permanently on the rifle (green LED) the other on a lanyard round the neck (white led) for spotting. I think they are great, no coiled cables to get tangled, no big batteries to lug about. Quote Link to post
