CharlieSlade 14 Posted August 3, 2014 Report Share Posted August 3, 2014 Have a look on ebay, if you're dead set on these too okay but if not then there's the hocus focus torch which is supposed to be incredible, I ordered one yesterday. Just try them first I think if you want to see them Quote Link to post
smokey_Joe 3 Posted August 17, 2014 Report Share Posted August 17, 2014 Hi Tom Hill If your looking for a very low cost lamp then I might have the answer. The first Lamp I used and "brought" was a home made one! Powered by a 12v car battery we had a car head light attached to peace of wood with a simple switch and believe me it worked a treat!! It had a long straight beam and with a wide with it made the lamp ideal for all types of hunting. Although we only use it for when we go lamping for rabbits now it proved to be a excellent preforming lamp at a low miniscule cost! A great alternative to those expensive lamps which preform to the same standard As my little home made one. I will put together some step by step instructions if you want? 1 Quote Link to post
