Fox dog 185 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Need a lamp lads had used striker previously, what's pros and cons of above cheers Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,122 Posted August 31 Report Share Posted August 31 Funnily enough I’ve just ordered a new lamp ! Ive used the 240 blitz for years and it’s my “go to “ lamp, I think it can’t be beat for lamping hares, deer, fox , but I’ve just ordered a 140 LED lamp with built in lithium battery for lamping rabbits . Ive been out with a pal with one for the last two seasons and it does the job. Depends what you want the lamp for, I guess. Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post

I can spot loads of gear when using LED headlamps. They clearly don't reflect eyes as well but they light up the land a lot better, ideal for a sighthound, no? Quote Link to post
