Gilbey 1,431 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Striker. Good few folk have tried new lamps and gone back Quote Link to post
Maximus Ferret 2,063 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Blitz variable. The old type variable with the little turn wheel. I'm very careful with it and keep it on a cord round my neck and even hold it up short in my teeths when climbing over gates and the like.Worth more than gold now . Quote Link to post

Good few folk have tried new lamps and gone back Best lamp out there, not to big but big enough for "usual" use, sometimes you need a bit more but generally A1 coupled with a good battery of course.

patterdale 673 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Who remembers the one from Argos? 1000,000 cp halogen with thick handle with tripod in handle, big red on/off button on top. Think they sold for about £20 back in the day. I know I rewired the on/off button to a switch taped to the handle, cut the cigar plug off replaced with crocodile clips and carried a car battery in a rucksack. Those were the days,no lithium packs back then and had good results and burnt fingertips from the battery acid. 1 Quote Link to post
terryd 8,385 Posted January 17, 2022 Report Share Posted January 17, 2022 Good old days. My fav lamp was some head light on a handle with a door bell switch on which worked a treat. Next up was the old blue eye which was the bee's knees. Spilled battery acid had an oddly nice smell and gave a weird itch on your skin then a few days later your clothes fell apart. We are spoiled now with all the gizmos if you can afford them 5 Quote Link to post
