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?
