lamps


Recommended Posts

what lamps do you boys prefer to use, and do you use filters.

myself,i always use the blitze with a red filter even when rabbiting.For hares and deer i think the blitze is untouchable.i also find that when out lamping with mates that are using the smaller version the blitze will pick up a distant fox that is creeping along the end of the field.

I prefer the lightforce ones, but have always used a lazerlite cos they are made for big girls blouses like me :11: :11: I like the round-the-tummy battery pack, the small lightweight size and the low power beam for calling foxes in. Its small and neat and doesnt make me fall all over the place in the dark like I used to with my first lamping kit (wired together car headlight and car battery job - ouch!) :11:

Lightforce 170, with red filter and 14 amp battery. It has modded filter and resistor on battery to dim light down, I have had no problems with it as yet. I use a 14 amp battery with shoulder strap and a thick belt, as I am a shandy drinking Southern girl and just can not take the weight.

I too use a Lazerlight, after last years ups and downs in the field a rewire was essential.

Got it wired direct to the battery no cigar plug bits or owt. ;)

 

Lamping with one hand holding the wires together and the other holding the lamp is a serious wind up :realmad:

Lazerlite for me as well - have the same one for years. Got the hinged filter - those clip on ones for other lamps are a waste of time - too awkward and easy to lose/break.

I use a motor bike battery as well in one of those rubberized resi' bags - endless power :good:

So simple - give it a blast of the charger when I get home and can be off out for a few hours no problems.

 

Only major problem in over 7 years with this setup is the handles keep braking off the lamp :realmad:

I replaced the reflector last season too and managed to rewire it wrong which caused the coiled lead to heat up and go sticky :icon_redface:

Have some normal electrical cable on it now - should have just bought a new one.
