Do they just cut out like the lithium battery's do.or do they dim down with use?

[jcm 2,327]

Tbh when out with my pal we just use it to spot stuff and do all the running with a blitz and a 22amh lithium

Not sure never had it die on me on a nights lamping.. Tracer bringing out a 35w led cordless before September will be interesting to see!!

Just like the lithium but they take some running out.

I've done it twice, once on the way back to the car after 6/7 hours lamping and another time when I forgot to charge it the night before and it ran out as I was putting dogs in car.

Spot on just had a look at the deben and look like a nice little lamp it says it has 500m been is that ture or just advisement. Corey

Had the deben sportlight 150 and 170 striker side by side and I prefere the 150

Nice one fieldsport what is the difference between the 150 and 170 of is it just your personal preference. I like the look of the 150 and it's cheap it's just to get me started as I'm new to the sport but I'm getting there .corey

There's less side glare, the beam is clearer, the price is sensible, there's no wires to snag, repair and let you down or connection to come loose ........normally in the middle of a run.

They are the way forward for me. Atb

It hard to find any vids of the beam of the tracer 150 out and about be interesting to see a small vid of it performing. Doesnt even have to be on game just a vid of the lamp working in field with range guides. Bit like they dp for all these cree torches

How long you lamping for?

 

My mates got one and we haven't run it flat. It's 4 hours constant use for a full charge. Unless you're scared of the dark you would have to be out for a long time to run it down.

 

Plus you can charge it from the car when diving between spots and having a brew etc.

ive got a tracer rechargeable and have yet to run the battery flat on a night out, my mate has a 140 with a 12amp battery and we end up leaving his in the car. if you get one just be careful the lense doesnt fall out, ive glued mine in and its fine now, not to the best with a red filter on but other than that, superb little lamp. might be worth waiting for the new one to come out though.

Apart from the shit build quality the 150 is not as good as a Striker 170 . . . I tried one out and it was no where near as powerful and the beam color is just wrong...It way too Blue .

 

The new one due out should be better....But unless they have used a better colour temp LED it will still be a bag of shite. . . They need a warm glow and not a blue/white. . . . .But obviously the bright blue white looks better to the naked eye.

I disagree I have had these lamps side by side.

For me the 150 wins hands down and at £64 I could not warrant spending another £220 to get a lamp almost the same. Even if the striker setup was a little better but IMO the two are level pegged the difference is not worth £200+.

The light is a clearer colour and takes a bit getting used too.

 

I know one thing I won't be having any more wires snaged and connection come loose.

In my humble and worthless opinion your wrong. . . The colour is wrong...its not clearer...its wrong... the reflections of the Critters eyes at the end of the beam is all wrong.

 

Halogen reflects red on bunnies and when using these LEDS etc etc its white on all Critters....
