D Lloyd 2,790 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've been using them from the off Dai, a lamps too bright without one! In a lot of places filtered light is a must, because critters are too spooked without colour. Though dont get me wrong, once they know what filtered light is, they are on to it same as white light. One thing i've never done is run my quarry with the filter still on, though it seems a lot of people do...! Me an my dog are out there to catch quarry, it aint the Waterloo Cup out there, so i'm gonna give that dog every chance i can and dazzle the feck out of whatever i'm gonna run. lol same here mate you have to have some thing for the pot at the end of the night Quote Link to post

D Lloyd 2,790 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think there a waste of time for me in my opinion. I've tried them but seem to make no difference for where I go. others on the land when you are not with them id say mate Quote Link to post
D Lloyd 2,790 Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 if theres a way of getting a brighter led lamp so the red filler works well and runs off a lithum batry in the handl like the 150 would that be any good to you i would think you could leve the filter on if it was a good size led.id think this would do the job for me on some realy shy stuff Quote Link to post
TOM HEAVY 140 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I personally am a fan, not needed in every situation but deffo a handy bit of kit IMO ATB TOM HEAVY Quote Link to post
mattyg 1,862 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 When I remember to bring the filter I use it to scan for rabbit eyes or bring em in then pop the filter off when quarry is close enough..... Dosnt help much.... Dogs are pants! Matt 1 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Another reason i started using filters back in the day was that they aint as obvious as white when scanning hot spots. It simply doesn't cast as far and i'd rather only use the white to run stuff. Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Personally I think they totally pointless and time consuming putting on taking it back of again every man for themselves on this one atb Mark I agree with the taking off an on bit. TBH the only good filters, that have ever been made for the lurcher lamper, were/are the Cluelight flip or slide filters. I liked the slide one, split second off, split second back on. Totally silent and you could never drop and loose them. Fantastic bit of kit, just a shame the lamps wern't up to the job or i'd have never gone with Lightforce and them awkward, noisey horrible 3 clip filters that need modification and are still shite!
