fox digger 1,086 Posted February 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Ok so I've just been on the back and I have to say it's spot on ,it's actualy better than I expected . I'm made up with it .Can some one pop a link up for the good battery's I'm going to buy four more and keep them charged , also a good charger if you don't mind ladsGood stuff mate,Charger, this one is pretty decent but the older version is slightly cheaper, the i4. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=261726087351 Batts, and this seller is very sound buck, he also does 4 bay xtar charger which is the one i bought and top notch, the xtar vp4 is the one i got, he will do you a good deal if you mail him and ask about 3400mAh cells and charger. Just make sure you get one that charges 4 together. http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=171653959327 1 Quote Link to post
flipbull 1,139 Posted February 3, 2015 Report Share Posted February 3, 2015 Dont know if I got this from this post but here is a link to the 1850 batteries and performance http://www.torchythebatteryboy.com/p/18650-batteries-chargers.html?m=1 Don't know how accurate it is though. There is some dodgy ones about though by the looks of it. Sure FD has done his homework on the ones he has mentioned though. Quote Link to post

I dont know much about 18650 cells mate but i do know the ones i put the link up for are genuine panasonic 3400mAh protected cells that the seller will stand over. Ive tried them and measured them before during and after use with a multimeter and they are all perfectly level from start to finish..... Quote Link to post

He quoted me £58 including delivery, so I ordered on that basis. I asked him if he'd do the same for any of you guys if you're interested and he said that's fine. You need to email him first to say you want it and then use this link which he'll re-list - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171661334927 (it's not a general listing of his, just a one-off he put up for me but will do again for any of you who want it...) Bought separately they'd come to about 70 quid, so there's a reasonable saving there. Delivery at that price is 2nd class but for a slight extra cost you can have first class and/or signed for. 2 Quote Link to post
fox digger 1,086 Posted February 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Lol, yea he's a very good chap to deal with in all fairness. Ive had a few dealings with him, he will beat any other prices you see on ebay for the same items he sells. Xtar are top notch mate and them batts are as good as can be got. Fair play, you've a decent setup now mate!! Quote Link to post

roybo 2,873 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Yea but the x60m has gold on it And has 6 batteries lol No nice one just been looking up they just throw a lot of light I think just much bigger hot spot. Quote Link to post
redcharge 378 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 Just had a quick look of mine on the back field, definitely worth the money. I only own a striker so that's all I could compare it to and there wasn't much in them? perhaps the k50 was a touch brighter and the spot on the striker was a touch tighter but other than that very little difference and well worth the price tag. FD you have done the lads proud going out on a limb vouching for the torch and sorting the deal, wish there was more lads in the dog game like yourself, thanks again 1 Quote Link to post

Been following this thread with interest and was under the impression that this K50 was a big improvement on the Striker.....????? What are other people's verdict on this light now they have compared it against the Striker. SINDASOX Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 i think its a lot better than the striker yes the striker has a tighter spot but its way duller compaired to the k50 the light cumin from the torch is so clean and i would say level 4 is simler to a striker then you have 2 extra power levels extra if needed ya not lumping a battery about in a bag or with a shit wiring system on what 9 times out of 10 ya fix in the field the batteries are in the torch get great battery life from it the thing fits in ya pocket if ya like to fence hop for me i would pick up the k50 every time Quote Link to post

What are other people's verdict on this light now they have compared it against the Striker. SINDASOX I simply had a quick scan of a school field at the back of my house and like I say I don't think there was much in it between the beam on the K50 and the beam on the striker but when you weigh up the price and practicality of the K50 I think the K50 wins hands down. When this shitty weather gets better I'll have a go on some better fields with less light pollution and compare the beams again. Quote Link to post
