stabba 10,745 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Mine has just arrived. on first impressions it looks a real sturdy well put together thing. Would fit in a decent sized pocket. IE cargo pants side pocket. Has a bit of weight to it but not overly heavy as to get uncomfortable after a hour or 2 of carrying around. Easy on/off switch and easy operable mode setting. I'll be nipping out in a couple of hours just to try it and see what the the beam throw is like. Have a couple of fields that are a good 400/500 yards length so if it shines the edges up of these easily then it'll be as good as the striker. Will need to travel a fair distance to test on bigger land but as a first outing 400/500 yards shine should be ok. If i get 600/700 out of it then it will match the blitz i reckon but that is pure speculation at this point. The torch comes with a decent case and carry pouch. Aswell as the usual charger/car charger/usb charger. I also got a free belt thrown in which was unexpected. Like i say i'll pop back on and update my findings later on. Also the charging system is pretty smart using a magnet attachment which is done in a second so no faffing around trying to undo rubber grommits to plug into. 1 Quote Link to post

I know the striker's limitations on the land i'm going to be looking on so will be comparing it to that for now. Truth be known i very rarely use a blitz anyway so if this torch blinds the striker then it'll be good enough for me. Get ready folks coz there may be a striker variable and lithium 14amp for sale soon 1 Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 I like a bit of light spill as it's ideal to keep game in view without having the full beam on them. it would be nice to see a few and make a choice out of them 1 Quote Link to post

Spot on stabba, make sure to let us know what you think later after you've used it. I am happy with mine but everyone has different preferences i suppose! Very eager to hear what you think tho, hurry up and get out with it!! 3 Quote Link to post
fox digger 1,086 Posted January 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 just spotting rabbits ..i hunt hilly ground and has abit cover ..mate was struggling to pick rabbits..even when i spotted one for him....he also had a supbeam torch with him which threw just a good spot but had more light spill so in my eyes his torch was bettermaybe its just me but its bigger than i thought it would look...for giving fields a quick scan just to see whert games sitting..its a big no no..as spots too tight Mate supbeam and acebeam are the same light. Acebeam is the new name for the manufacturer that was formerly supbeam, the k40 is the older model they do, that has a tight beam and more of a yellow light than the k50 but its run times are not as good. Very good lamp aswell tho IMO, a mate does a hell of a lot of lamping and thats all he carries, (k40) the k50 is a newer updated more powerful version of the k40. Quote Link to post

stabba 10,745 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Just got back in. No import tax to start with Beam too tight? No way. if its in the field then a quick sweep will light it up. As good as a striker? Yes....and that's on the next to most powerful setting. As good as a blitz? Quite possibly but yet to confirm. light too white? imo no it isn't. If youv'e used a cree before then you'll be used to it. If not it may take a little getting used to. Plus quarry's eyes are a different colour also. But with this powerful a light you'll know exactly what species it is you are lighting up. Imo if it bunny's you are after then mid power range would suit you on this torch. I easily lamped as far as a striker on the next to strongest setting and that would be ideal for most situations. The strongest setting would bag you most species should the course go long so to speak imo. Tbh i'm quite impressed by it. So the choice is your's. Buy it or don't but those that don't will be forever wondering 7 Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Good post stabba... or if you need more.light try one of these http://www.taclight.co.uk/products/olight-sr95-intimidator-flashlight-sst90#.VLQmYHNFDqA Quote Link to post
stabba 10,745 Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 Also just like to add. Where i lamped tonight there was a fair bit of ambient lighting. so perhaps there may be a little more power to the beam than i initially thought. . By that i mean the torch will be more powerful the darker the surroundings. 2 Quote Link to post
