Mooseontheloose 52 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 I know it's not the correct tool for the job but I don't fancy carrying a big lamp when out for mooch. Would this do the job for some light bunny lamping thanks Quote Link to post
lurchers 2,904 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 No mate unless ya dog can catch a rabbit in 10yrds,I use 1 for work as they are bright enough for loft spaces and cellars while looking for rats and mice.Ya will be better off buying the ones that go onto a scope but they are a £150 or something like that. 1 Quote Link to post
Countryman62 542 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 (edited) I use this these days, it’s got spot to flood and a few other modes which I don’t use, 220 lumens so it cuts through the dark a good distance, not that I use it like that, I prefer to use fieldcraft and get close when I poach, there’s four different coloured filters for about £7 extra, the only drawback for me is because of the Cree lens bulb you don’t get the ruby red eyes of a Rabbit shining back when you lamp them, which I find disappointing but if I knew how to fit an halogen bulb to this torch it would be perfect and another plus point is if you get pulled over you can’t get done for carrying a torch Edited July 2, 2021 by Countryman62 Quote Link to post

Countryman62 542 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Yes Jeemes, I use this torch when I go lamping, I get two nights lamping on a full charge so about six hours in total that’s plenty of time for me now I’m in my sixties, I get out three or four times a week and when I get a good sized bag I get a lift home off the local taxi firm for a couple of Rabbits, there’s a five year guarantee with the torch I’ve had mine since 2013 and it’s never let me down, atb 1 Quote Link to post
