crappy rig up at the moment mate need to sort my lamp out its broke

[ghillies 209]

i've had plenty fun on a 4.8v krypton bulb..some nights its too bright and scares everything off... coloured acitate changed the colour nice but does reduce the light distance..

 

do you lamp the whole feild looking to where everything is? some times it's better to just lamp out to 40-50 yards max and shoot what you can in that range..flashing round a feild makes them all look at you.. then they leg it.

 

filters....

red for rats..they cant see red (rabbits too sometimes)

orange for rabbit..they cant see orange.

bklue for blood tracking (so i'm told)

yellow for fog/mist..sposed to go further better

green..no idia...

 

in all cases the animals can see brightness.. for an extreme, a 10 mirrion candle poer lamp in any colour hits the back of their wide open iris's(eye balls) like a house brick... so some time dimmer works better, or gentler... i've not held a rabit sytill on a lamp in the typicle 'lamped um there' very often..

No arguement with what you say about the filters but over the years I have found them all to be pretty useless...just use a dimmer on the lamp now, and have done for years...seems to work as well if not better than any filter I have tried!!

[Guest jordy p]

better luck next time mate

[will.f11 24]

Sounds like you got a bit of Cajunrules syndrome brother only kidding pal, ATB. Cheers

i'm thinking of trying one of these... dimable to zero..fully focusable from flood to spot.. and about 100 yard on max or there abouts, only problem with those CREE bulbs is theyre hell of a bright to look at..
