Joe1888 672 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I know theres been many threads.... At the moment i have a stryker 170 and old skool clulite battery, considering selling and buying a plr500... Moneys tight at the moment so id really need to sell, though a spare would be handy. The plr500 has been about for a while now and no doubt a few of you have used both lamps, i quite like the idea not carrying the battery about, is the plr500 a good replacement, do just as good job?

TAXI DRIVER 549 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 My second season with the PLR500 and really happy with it.Well worth the money.Good quality beam and only 400g in weight.Can`t go wrong with it. 1 Quote Link to post
tote 854 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 The PLR500 wasn't for me, I bought one after reading a lot of positive comments on here but just didn't like it at all. Sure it's light to carry about, no battery over the shoulder either but I just couldn't take to the tightness of the beam, also found spotting eyes a lot harder. If possible Joe try and get out with one before you buy and make your own mind up. 1 Quote Link to post
Fieldsporthunter 1,864 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 I like them personally but I don't think dogs do . . . after using them since the first weeks they came on the scene I'm starting to go off them. Too often at distance I think the dogs struggle to keep with there quarry. I don't think they are seeing the same light I am, in certain light conditions its as if I'm running with a filter on. Something not right somewhere . . . what do you guy think? 2 Quote Link to post
boyo 1,398 Posted October 21, 2016 Report Share Posted October 21, 2016 My second season with plr 500 my blitz & tracer not left my shed since i got plr. No cables or battery packs. Its a great piece of kit ? Atb 1 Quote Link to post
pukerk 161 Posted October 22, 2016 Report Share Posted October 22, 2016 It's a nice bit of kit, really light and easy to carry around.... but with the beam being a white'ish light the rabbits seem to blend in on ploughed typed fields... anyone else notice this or is it just me lol.... 1 Quote Link to post
