TOMO 27,344 Posted April 1 Report Share Posted April 1 Mchull is spot on ... Thing is greb whilst your are seeing some wildlife with the torch...your not seeing it all.. Just a few week back me and my work colleague were testing this stuff out...and I was using a light force blitz 240 halogen... Thermal on ....rabbits everywhere...lamp on...some at 50.. 100 yards out vanished... Don't get me wrong I've killed game with all sorts of lamps ..got a couple of led lamps myself...even a short while ago had a few rabbits with a £10 led torch that had a 20 yard beam... The ground can make a difference as well...and of course the volume of game...I know young Rew and his cousin took 150 rabbits one night with two dogs and two PLR 500 led lamps...so it can be done...but the ground and conditions make a difference But be under no illusion there not out performing a good halogen though 9 1 Quote Link to post
