Do you find these days, that at the end of a night you sideswipe several parked cars on the way home too? (Or maybe that's just the end of night stiffener kicking in).

I'm not that bad lol.my lad kept telling me a few seasons ago he can see an eye but I couldn't see nothing he would hold the beam on it and I still couldn't see nothing.so it was time for glasses.and while they are on its like everything is in HD.but they really hurt on top of my ears.ive stretched the frames but still very uncomfortable.

I was only joking about the cars but know exactly what you mean about the eyesight issue.I still do fine with the blitz but do struggle a small bit with my LED torch. It's pretty bright but somehow just doesn't show things up so well. Shame really as it fits in a pocket like the blitz never would.

That's it the eye doesn't seem to show up as much with the led.

I use a tracer 170 variable.on the long fields it does struggle at that distance fully turned up but it does the job.

I might end up with a 240 variable the way the eyes are going lol.

I can’t seem to see the  rabbits in the led lights a# good as halogen but use led for spoting roosting pigeons as them seem to light up like blue Xmas tree balls

I think yellow is easier on the eye than white - which might be due to white having more glare so we squint slightly.

I agree the white led beams can make spotting rabbits very difficult especially if the grass is wet , the rabbits just appear  a silvery colour that blend into the now silvery appearing grass.

You can actually buy halogen coloured pills/bulbs for many lamps/torches , 

i have been useing a Night Sabre with a yellow pill, it is fantastic the spot is perfect with no side glare or dark spot  in the middle, it is also a circular spot not square like many led lamps,
