paulsmithy83 567 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 You can change that watt but never increase there at there max , can obviously reduce if after certain quarry but heads are exchangeable so if want bigger bulb watt increase head size. But IMO the lower the watt the less jumpy quarry are Quote Link to post

morton 5,368 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 I honestly don,t know how some of us managed to lamp not that long ago,acid battery,s,usually off unattended motorbikes and a lamp or 2 from an unguarded 4 wheel drive or souped up Cortina.The best lamp ive ever owned and which i accounted for the most numbers was an acid battery of a bike and a Wippac lamp. 1 Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) I've a 170 with dimmer. Dimmer totally useless imo and never use it. Tried it a couple of times but only at the highest settings is it of any use for lamping anything. They would've been better putting a secondary bulb or gate light on it as Cluson have with their Laserlite. Edited August 25, 2013 by AirgunGuy Quote Link to post

Even if the place is lamp shy. Have it low enough to just see the eyes and slip the dog. Then turn it up when the dog is on the quarry. Quote Link to post

AirgunGuy 362 Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 (edited) The Lazerlite is the 1st lamp I reach for on rabbits. Compared it to the 170 last week and the wee Lazerlite is as bright as the 170. The difference being that the beam on the 170 is adjustable so it beats it at range. Very underestimated wee lamp the Lazerlite. Compact enough to fit in the pocket...has the gate light which is a superb feature and the filter setup is excellent. Simply flip it up and no loud noise like the Lightforce setup and the overspill from the Lightforce filters can affect your vision...not to mention they make a racket when taking off or putting on ;-) Edited August 25, 2013 by AirgunGuy Quote Link to post
