Saltmoon 2,208 Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I use one dose me just fine quite a tight beam on it and has a whiter light then the halogen ones but suits me down to the ground and for the price it's a grate little lamp Quote Link to post

That's right mate read that thread while back it was a problem with the Chargers and clulite recalled them I phoned them about this and they sent me a new one no problem the lamps are fine it was the Chargers at the time Quote Link to post
trigger2 3,137 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’ve used one for a few seasons now and get on with it just fine. Quote Link to post

jiggy 3,209 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Handy little lamp that's cheap and worth it for a handy shine but i find it misses out on rabbit squatters eyes in medium grass with the white light. I prefer the deben tracer 170 with dimmer especially for shy foxes. It benifets the dog too when you don't let him see until the last second. Big dopey wheaten cross doing somersaults if he sees them early Expensive kit though with 22amp tracer battery but more chance of a catch. 1 Quote Link to post
longers01 2,371 Posted August 14, 2019 Report Share Posted August 14, 2019 Spot on there mate I’ve used the deben tracer 210 with dimmer and 22amp lithium battery for 3 seasons now expensive bit of kit but well worth the money atb longers01 Quote Link to post

I paid €120 for lamp and 250 sterling for battery which was about €300 Euro with exchange rate at the time. Bought the PLR for €60 so it was 7 times the price for kit at €420. Not many rabbits here so I did need it for the foxes. They are well lamp shy so getting enough runs for dog isn't easy and they didn't sit for PLR 500. Hardest thing was keeping him fit if only running fox. Sad day when there is more foxes than rabbits about. 1 Quote Link to post
longers01 2,371 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 Ye mine cost me 120 for lamp and 240 for battery so holds me to 360 but best bit of money I’ve spent mate carnt beat them dimmers well worth the dollars atb longers01 Quote Link to post
SeanEdgo 29 Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I've recently bought one of these. I'm really impressed. Although the filter is a real faff to get on and off quickly. Ive been thinking off modding it with some kind of flip up filter like the old lazerlite. Anyone else modded theirs? Cheers Quote Link to post
