dustyj 63 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Red filters are shite unless it's pitch black.I use the amber filter much better Quote Link to post
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 As a couple of people have already said, the red filters are no good with the LED lamps. It just doesn't happen. Must be something to do with the type of light produced by the LED. But I've also found that stuff isn't spooked so easily by the LED, again it must be the type of light. 1 Quote Link to post

Fellman Mark 607 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 I cut two of the lugs shorter any way and file the lump on the last one back to make it easyier to pop back on as long as it's the same diameter I'll be happy 1 Quote Link to post

I like the red filter on the 150 although they take some getting used to because you can't see much of the field with them, they still bring eyes up good enough for me. 2 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 To be fair, apart from the old cluelight slide or flip filters (i liked the slide), no filters fit without modification imo. I've either cut all lugs off and put insolation tape to rims of lamp and filter for a tight squeeze fit, or heated and bent one or more luggs to use as pull off's and it also makes for a quieter fit. Dunno about others but personally i hate the clatter of filters either on or off on a night out. Those bent luggs can be drilled through and a line attached incase you drop it. It's a bugger dropping the sodding things in yhe mud. All consentration should be directed to the quarry and not the clanging of brittle plastic an without the thought of where the feck it's dropped too when you got your eyes on the prize!!
