Teckers 659 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 22ah lithium battery best out there aswel Ul never go back to the old Heavy units after you've used one Quote Link to post
NEWKID 27,131 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Got the Deben Tracer 210 variable, last year decent lamp and the wiring seems much better that the lightforce stuff. Have used all the lightforce lamps, the little 140 is a cracking rabbiting lamp for smaller fields really type beam, gave mine to my mate as he's bringing his pup on. The best thing I've bought though in recent years for hunting is the lithium battery set, what a difference, it's a pleasure to go on the quick jog to catch up with the action now lol Quote Link to post
peterhunter86 8,627 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 I use the blitz and wildhunter 15 ah lithium battery I also have a red lens for the blitz and the beam is great 1 Quote Link to post
old school 517 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 not go far wrong with a cluson lazerlite and a lithium batteryAlso excellent little lamps but for small to medium sized fields. And the gate light on them is brillI have the Blazerlite very reible I did have to a just beam to make slightly tighter spot ..threw seconder bulb out as I have headtouch which is exclate for gates and spotting rabbits without scaring them off... plus there red filter is far stronger beam with hole than others....never had to rewire lamp...which is also a plus How did you manage to adjust the beam to make it tighter??? I've tried everything.... I bought the 18amp clulite lithium pack... Absolutely fantastic!! I never liked Deben packs because of the ciggerette socket that never lasts long... All my lamps are fitted with jack plugs, even the lightforce 170 Quote Link to post

dodger 2,754 Posted October 17, 2015 Report Share Posted October 17, 2015 Tracer 170 with 22amp lithium but the tracer packed up the other night after the first race just kept flickering on n off after that, I had to run abit so something must of come loose inside I guess, so back to the van with it were luckily I had a back up lamp but as said the build quality of strikers n tracers is absolute shite how they havnt been able to get it right in well over a decade is mental.. 1 Quote Link to post
