Rabbithunter 456 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 well, i knew it was only a matter of time before we could get them, to fit Lightforce's etc... well, this bulb http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GY6-35-27SMD5050-LED-LIGHT-BULB-/130594615991?pt=UK_Light_Bulbs&var=&hash=item1e680bb2b7 will fit. Has anybody tried these? does the beam stay tight? can they be used with a dimmer? Quote Link to post
smallfoot 118 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Be worth a try at that price Torches have come so far compared to lamps Someone needs to bring out a led lithium lamp with nice tight white beam Quote Link to post
scottish hare hunter 2,345 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 noticed its 350 lumens thats the power of my littlie handheld torch duno if its going to be brighter be good to find out if it was Quote Link to post
woz 260 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 No this LED won't do the job..its to convert halogen bulbs in boats and caravan internal lights..iv got a modified 2d maglite that's a lot better than a cluson cb2 but it isn't a patch on the light force for throw and spot at distance....have a look on candle power forum if you want some helpful info on torchs and lamps 1 Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,804 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Not sure if they need a transformer or something? Cheers, D. Edited to say that might be HID bulbs Quote Link to post
smallfoot 118 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 350 lumen but would the bowl on the lamp not make it a good bit better Quote Link to post
woz 260 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 The element on the striker bulb is 18mm from the base of the lense give or take a few mm..the led bulb your looking at has LEDs all around it ..you won't get it to focas....it'll be rubbish....you don't need a transformer or a ballast to run these led bulbs...

JohnGalway 1,043 Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Don't waste your money, that's all that "LED" will be. Buy a Thrunite TN31, don't know how they'd be for dags (someone will have to take one for the team there, I don't got a dog) but for I use one for spotting and I leave the LF at home. On the LF front, I've a HID conversion kit in the post from Oz, not arrived yet due to Christmas etc. Told it will draw 1/3rd of the power of a 100W bulb and give better distance. It, however, won't dim, takes 15 or so seconds to get to "full" power, but quite bright by 5 seconds. So, not for everyone. Quote Link to post
