Guest savageboy Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 just wondering what are the top lamp,s thease days and what candle power is the best for lamping rabbits, i used to use a nite owl for years and that was a good lamp , but now they seem loads more powerful lamps out , think mine was 750,000 candle power then but yer can get cheap lamps with 1 or 2 million candle power , me mate had a blue eye. so lads and girls what yer think for now a days, well nights lol. cheers good hunting SAVAGEBOY p.s. plus what amp battery . cheers Quote Link to post
Guest The Hob Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Hi matey I've got the clulite lamp and I use a 12v 20amp battery does the job fine at the moment but gonna get the light force striker 170 for next season I think. I'll see what happens and how cash is. Quote Link to post
Straightline 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Pre *** I would have used Lightforce Striker for rabbits and as a general all round lamp whilst the bltz comes into its own on large fields and hares and bigger things. Wont go wrong [bANNED TEXT] a striker. 17AH is more than adequate fo a ful nights lamping, max u need to go really, chuck it in a cheap rucksack. Definetly use a red filter as well, get up close and whip it off. Works on rabbits that have been run before and other things. Litz in Newport South Wales been cheapest for both lamps for a while (including off the internet)Good luck. Quote Link to post

Rabbithunter 456 Posted April 20, 2006 Report Share Posted April 20, 2006 why green mate? I USE GREEN AND RED MATE THERE IS A LOT OF PEOPLE USING THE RED NOW SO I THOUGHT THEY MIGHT NOT BE USED 2 THE GREEN FOXES COME IN AS GOOD AS THE RED ANYWAY correct its also described in Deben catalogue as "Good for use for animals with sensitive eyes" i havent used it for lamping off the back of the van yet, but I will. The first time i used it when lamping rabbits, it was absolutly amazing, they just did not have a clue til it was too late Quote Link to post
