Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Roybo was the 170 halogen running off a lithium? The halogens shine brighter off lithium than the acids. Quote Link to post
D Lloyd 2,790 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 each to theyer owen but to me the 150 is a far beter lamp for price and distance clarity of light and a nice tight spot with no wirers to pull out or tangle up at vitel moments.and ill be selling both soon so its not the case of by the 150 cose i sell them its jest my upineon sos about the spelling Quote Link to post
roybo 2,873 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 Yea lithium pal a deben one ,but we'll all like different lamps and different lights so I would advise anyone to try to see as many as is out there and make their own minds up and weigh up the cost etc if anyone from the Midlands wants to see one pop round I'll show them the beam..

There's no denying the 150 are great little lamps especially for the money they feel ALOT better than the tracer and strikers etc for build too 2 Quote Link to post

flynndog 543 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I've a14amp tracer battery and variable striker 210 both used about 8/9 times sat here doing nothing I prefer daytime .. Quote Link to post
tote 856 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 The 150 LED doesn't go as far as a 170 striker and the beam is far too tight its like looking down a smarty tube and the beam is too white and bleached out what ever your trying to spot ,, I'll stick to my 170 striker and lithium battery After reading all the positive reviews on here about the PLR500 I went out and bought one, the above sums it up for me, I find the beam too tight and the light is that white I have trouble spotting rabbits unless the grass is really cropped. The positives are the cost and the distance of the beam but at the moment I prefer the light from a halogen bulb. 1 Quote Link to post

I've been out with it a good few times now and still find spotting rabbits harder unless the grass is short. Quote Link to post
old school 562 Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I got the clulite lithium pack in the old style rigid clubman case... It's 18ahr and weighs nothing, I haven't run it down yet either!! The jack plugs are reliable and I have nearly all my lamps kitted out with them Quote Link to post
NEWKID 27,384 Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 I got a cordless 150 here from D LLoyd, used it for the 2nd time tonight, for the money it's a great little lamp. Some of the land I run it gets a bit lost, the fields are big, the beam is very tight but for rabbits in paddocks or medium sized fields I reckon they'll be great. Agree with Katchum, they aint a lamp for all occasions and wont replace my 210 with lithium set up, but will definitely be used a bit over the next few seasons. Love that it's cordless too, gonna put a little eye bolt in the thread on the bottom and run a string through for hanging round your neck. 3 Quote Link to post
