Lamping Battery

[andy97 209]

i know this is nostly dog talk but what would be the best battery to get for lamping had the 8ah lithium now sold but am torn between the 22 and 14ah would the 14 be enough to use with a tracer 170

[TOMO 26,435]

Depends on a few things,,,, how long your lamping,,, and the size of your bulb in the lamp,,,my 170 has the hundred wat bulb in it,,that's comes with it from new,,,, I also have the 14 amp lithium ,,,

 

Now when I'm lamping with the dog up the dales,, I get around 3 hours with the 14 amp lithium,,, so I have the 10 amp with me as well,,, wich I get around 2 hours,,,

 

Get yourself the 22,,, there's not a lot of difference in weight,,,, and carry a small torch for opening gates ,,, gutting ect ect

[andy97 209]

got the variable 170 so should be able to dim down i have a 100 watt bulb but the 75 comes as standard and carnt really tell the difference but you recon 22 still

Yeh sorry,,, mine is a lightforce 170,,wich comes with a 100 wat as standard

Yeah 22 ah if you can afford ..

We done pretty much what Tomo done up dales using a smaller torch for gutting etc depends if u go to blitz ull get about 3 hours from 22 ah aswell

[andy97 209]

looking like the 22 then any body got one there selling

I've got tracer 170 with dimmer and 14 amp lithium and is plenty for me ,I only charge it after 2 lamping trips.

You should get 7.9 hours lamping of one charge and its a nice size.

75 watt bulb comes in the variable blitz as standard?

How you work that out?? the blitz fitted with a 100w bulb uses exactly the same power drain as the striker fitted with the 100w bulb...so if you get 3 hours with the 14amp then you should get roughly 35% more lamp time out of the 22amp...the blitz and the striker are exactly the same wattage..just different sized heads

thought that the draw is still the same i got the tracer 170 so comes with a 75 as standard but a 100w no matter what will still use the same

[fez 4]

A 75watt drains 6amps an hour but the 100watt drains 8amps an hour.

[andy97 209]

so with not much difference if any in the 75 a 100 wat gunna stick with the 75 and buy a 22 ah battery

Can I put a 50 watt bulb in my Lightforce striker to give me more battery life? And has anyone got a link for 50 watt bulbs for Lightforce lamps?

Yes you can..Some even use the 30w just for rabbiting...Either go online(ebay) and type in Osram 50w bulb or just visit any shooters shop and they should stock them
