MickyB 327 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Its time to invest in a new lamp for the coming season, I want to go down the LED route and keep my halogen as a back up, has any one tried these new gun lamps that are coming out? are they suitable for running the dog? Who's using what and how do you find it to use, I've been thinking of spending a good few quid on one to keep for a while but is it necessary? Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Try to get out with the deben sportlight 150 and see what you think. Not everyone's perfect lamp granted, but I was really impressed. Best money I've spent for a while. 2 Quote Link to post

Yeh been looking at them not a bad price either, I'm interested in the gun lamp types so you can just drop it in your pocket whether its suitable or not I dont know. £120+ is a lot to blow if there not lol Edited August 18, 2015 by MickyB Quote Link to post

Hunting loon 100 Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I use to use one with the battery pack that went over shoulder but found it to clumsy when climbing gates fences etc so ended up buying led hand held lamp like the ones home bargains sell for 11quid Quote Link to post
MickyB 327 Posted August 18, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Cheers Ant, I'm up at the end of this month for the big BBQ bring it and I'll take a look, I'm in no big rush as I've rewired that halogen one now but just want it as a back up, I'm sure it will fall apart in the field again ?
