Poacherspocket 189 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Are those LED torches those cree ones? Iv heard there pretty good. I used a tracer lamp and lithium battery. Far over priced most lamps. Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 2000 lumen off ebay and a 170 and lithium covers most situations Quote Link to post
Poacherspocket 189 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I dont know how many lumens but my big maglite is quite handy sometimes when im just walking the dogs on the smaller fields its accounted for a couple of bunnies. Quote Link to post

wuyang 513 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 I love the tk41, but I'm not out all night like I used to be. If you like a nice tight beam check this one out.... Quote Link to post

kranky 507 Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Nightmaster 800's with extension tubes. 1 red and 1 white turbo. The same throw as a Lightforce 170 but better at getting eye shine and can pick up a fox's eyes way in excess of 500 yards. Quote Link to post
