drid 22 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 How do you lads compare these lamps together ?? 170 preferbaly. Wat is the better build, beam ,, ETC Quote Link to post
fez 4 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I've got the tracer 170 vp with a 14amp lithium battery and think it's spot on...don't think there's much in them...the tracer has a 75w bulb and light force 100w....I ordered the light force to be honest with you but it was faulty straight out the box (wiring) so send it back and got the tracer instead.

Dewclaw69 484 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 a lot of this stuff is generic. the deben sportlight 150 rechargeable is the same as the buffalo river is the same as the cluson plr500 Quote Link to post
ponte 222 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 So you are saying they are all the same lamp?? The deben 150 is sold as 1200 lumens The buffalo river is 540 ( and is a lot cheaper) Quote Link to post

the big chief 3,099 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 got the strikers and the blitz the wire is wank on them both Quote Link to post
mattyg 1,862 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I use a striker and the wiring is piss awful..... Looks like I'm gonna be re doing mine as its starting to flicker once in a while Quote Link to post
Snifferboy 659 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 I think it's luck of the draw with the wiring on half of the lamps, I've had my tracer 170 variable for 3 maybe 4 years now and not had a problem a friend has had a newer one, (the one with the buttons for dimmers) and it's had several problems. I do tend to look after my stuff as apposed to swinging it around by the lead. I have got my lamp on a cord that attaches to my rucksack with a carabiner (so I can be hands free, with the light on dealing with the dogs or rabbits etc.) and all the connections on deben 22amp lipo battery are kept in such a way that it limits any movement/damage. I can imagine if you are slipping the battery into your pocket of different bags etc. each time it's gonna be problematic, hence I've done what i've done... I have had a striker 210 when I used to shoot a lot, that was just on it's own, loose, with a car battery on a metal rucksack frame and had no end of trouble, always at a crucial moment too, so problem limitation is key I think...

IshotRogerRabbit 46 Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 1st thing i did when i bought the Striker was to strip down...re-solder and tape the cable at week spots. Saves getting caught out in the field i think Quote Link to post

I know the Blazerlite has a 100watt bulb and the Lazerlite a 50watt bulb but have you by any chance compared them? I have a Lazerlite kicking aorund somewhere and it's a great wee lamp if memory serves Quote Link to post
