19powell90 89 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 nope & nope get one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261122141571?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649 same thing but with adjustable beam & and takes standard batteries - bought one the other day there great, i own a couple ultrafires 501 also there great but limited to non adjustable beam so very strong and can scare quite a few rabbits. - however one thing that is great is an ultrafire 501b + red bulb + replacing the glass lens with a conical one - a guy on ebay used to make them and sell them.

frogspawn 2 Posted January 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Thanks for the info i'll perhaps look at somethin else,maybe a LED lenser or one that takes standard batteries at least. Quote Link to post
villaman 9,983 Posted January 6, 2013 Report Share Posted January 6, 2013 Hi Before having night vision i used a ultra fire with a red lamp ,very good. What is wrong with the 18650 batteries . I had a lenser but found the filters were crap so sold it. I think you can pick up a ultra fire with a red lamp batteries and charger for about £28 . Quote Link to post
frogspawn 2 Posted January 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2013 My brother has just given me a torch very similar to the ones I was lookin at so going to give this a go for a while see how it is,if I dont like it will look at somethin different,thanks all. Quote Link to post

I use a diy modded ultrafire 501b with red led, blacked out refractor, curved glass lens it is awsome it lives on my scope permenantly. Would reccomend one of theese above anything else iv tried.

tomburras 2,729 Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 If anyone is interested in making a modded ultrafire 501 B torch then link to the lens is: http://dx.com/p/glass-optics-for-flashlights-28mm-5297 Remove the old one and fit this, It might need a little sanding to go in but thats easy. I did mine in 2 mins on the doorstep An ultrafire 501 red led torch with tail switch is really cheap about 12 pounds on ebay. remove the refractor and spray it matt black (unscrew from the led bit first so you dont paint over the led bulb) this makes a massive improvement and put back together as it doesnt spill the light. This mount fits perfect: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Torch-Laser-Mount-25mm-x-25mm-Rifle-Scope-Lamping-Mount-Figure-8-Airgun-Airsoft-/221166221696?pt=UK_SportingGoods_Hunting_ShootingSports_ET&hash=item337e88b980 The above modification makes the beam really tight and square (the shape of the led bulb) witch makes it project miles further. mine honestly picks up a rabbit over 100+ yards. They are that small mines left permenantly on my gun, It was a mini project well worth doing. Its just a pain waiting for stuff to arrive from hong kong! Quote Link to post
frogspawn 2 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 There is nothin wrong with the one in link and it sounds like the modded ones work really well but as ive been given one i will use it a few times and then see if I need to replace it,cheers for the info though gave me stuff to bear in mind.

tomburras 2,729 Posted January 10, 2013 Report Share Posted January 10, 2013 No problem 19powel90, have you blacked out your refractor aswell? it makes another vast improvement. If you want to try it but dont want to risk ruining your existing refractor then you can buy one for next to nothing to try it. I would reccomend you do it it makes the torch even better! you can order a spare refractor to try it on the link below. I blacked mine out with a black permenant marker instead of spraying it black and it worked a treat http://dx.com/p/26-5mm-aluminum-reflector-drop-in-module-set-without-emitter-5955 Quote Link to post
