Deben battery hard wiring?

[fazza123 517]

Is it a big job to hard wire your lamp to your lithium battery? I cant believe how bad the connection is when plugged in and how easy it disconnects.  

 

Is it a job for a spark or has anyone done it themselves? 

TIA

Has anyone switched over to just hand held now totally?.......if I was still out with the lamp I’d have a couple of them in my rucksack and f**k the battery.

The only problem with them is there is no dimmer wilf.

I would be lost without the dimmer.

I usually leave it on the lowest dimmer setting to just allow the eyes to shine back.and when the dog is nearly there turn the power up...

this is the charging port on mine Terry.

Does yours look the same or has something moved in the charging hole on yours

Yep one setting on or off on mines. Plus it's not like a wired one where the beam just loses power when the battery starts to drain mines just flicks off completely so it s all or nothing

Thats the good think with the lithium rusty.

They give full power right untill the end 

Just like your handheld.

2 season ago I walked for just over an hour put the lamp on 1st shine bang the power dropped right off.motorbike battery was knackered.

Pissed off wasn't the word lol.

Why is that stiff.

I just think I’d rather loose a few spooky bits of game rather than not see what’s in front of the dog mate

There's only a few things on the lamp 

I know what's around me on the land stiff.

I wish there was more

To be fair i seen a few people put the lamp on stuff turn it off slip then judge when the dogs close normally youll find dogs already pressuring whatever. 

 

Id probably jack lamping if there was only led on the market. Used loads of different ones over couple seasons went back to halogen difference was like night and day.
