Lamping Last Night With The 150 Tracer

[swg dave 334]

Its gotta be the 150 ay DARS thats all we need for rabbits in small fields.

Its a different, whiter beam than the lightforce. I've tried them side by side and they both go the same 'distance'.....or at least they seem to do.

what is your most favored lamp ???????

 

I have used practically all that's ever been commercially available. But I guess there's never been a perfect lamp yet. There sure is a market for one.

I have used the Striker (170) more than any other i would imagine, but I also have always had to do a bit of DIY on the lamps as, out of the box, they are pretty crap. The wiring is a disgrace. The Deben lamps are at least as bad, if not worse., and I've never rated Deben stuff anyway if I'm honest.

As of late if I'm going out for a few runs then the Clu-lite PLR 500 is the prefered weapon of choice. Of course this lamp is not designed for the all-nighters, BUT for a few runs over the space of an hour or so , it's plenty good enough.

I had two evenings out last week with it, and didn't charge it up in between and it was still holding plenty of power.

 

BUT there is still space for the Ultimate lamp, if someone ever puts everything together and makes one.

 

I once got two lamps from the USA when I was a teenager, they were called 'Squeaker' lamps I think and they were very good. But that was many years ago now. They were coated in rubber and so totally silent.

I've been looking at products by this manufacturer quite a bit, put o post on here a while back asking if anyone had experience.

my mate in work who is good with these things said it would be easy to stick a 3 way switch on and bring a wire out so you switch it to proper battery if needed regarding the plr 500

I've just go back from just over an hours solid lamping. The lamps faultless. You just don't know you've got it and the beam is as good as Lightforce.

Does it have the wee hole to clip a laynard on?

No it doesn't, but it has a thread so I'm sure you'd be able to thread an 'eye' onto it.

I just tried a slipknot and slipped it over head of lamp and pulled it tight between the back of head and top of handle if that makes sense lol

Have you tried it out yet>??

 

I'm still getting used to how white the light is.

[J Darcy 5,871]

Forget the silly filters. You don't need them!! I tried them ages ago, but now only use plain light....

That's what i do hangs round neck hardly notice it with being so light, and yes JD the beam is a bit different like a silvery white but soon get used to it

[J Darcy 5,871]

Iv had a go with white light and I prefer me silly filter lol if it works, it works lol

Yes, but a lamp shy bunny is going to be lampshy to amber light as well as white light.....

[J Darcy 5,871]

Lads, get the clu-lite rechargeable. £45. It's superb.

 

It is just so light you wouldn't beleive.

 

A true bright, white beam and a good spot,.

 

What's £45, take a gamble, you won't be disappointed.

Hi, have you got a link where to buy this lamp please?
