trader 0 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 I agree with oldskool I find the belt pack a much better way to distribute the weight than a shoulder one. The type of lamp you will need will depend on what quarry your intending to lamp and what type of land. You wont go far wrong with a lazerlite they are a good beginners lamp, small compact and light weight and the side beam is handy. But they have their limitations, in large fields the beam isnt as good as the lightforce lamps, I would say a lazerlite is a good choice for rabbit lamping and something with a longer beam and more candlepower is better for lamping other quarry Arthur Carter does some decent deals, I got a lamp and battery pack off him a wee while ago for £100 plus a £10 discount of my next order, I wish I had spent a bit extra now though and gone for the belt battery pack cos I just cant get on with the shoulder one if I am out for a reasonable length of time if ya want a belt back , get a bum bag cost a few quid from the market stals , just make shure its big enough for the 7am batterie. but most of you lot on here have more money than sence , buying all these kits , including batteries and lamps ect. get round your markets , theres lots of places to get the batteries, all these stalls doing the disabled scooters have the sealed gel batteries, you can get a 18 amp for around £20 -25 and the little 7amps for around, £5. shop around ladies and gents. also you can get a little ruck sack for a fiver from the markets , personly i find these the most comfortable for the bigger 18 amp thats just plain lazy going lamping on a disabled scooter Quote Link to post

Will be having some of those connectors. Am surprised no one has offered to sort JPT's battery and lamp out for her yet ................ I would but I'd only disgrace myself by getting caught rummaging in her knicker drawer Quote Link to post
matty73 4 Posted March 10, 2009 Report Share Posted March 10, 2009 even electrical suppliers have batts at half price of what you been quoted 12v 20ah for 40 quid 12v 7ah 15 quid not deben but brand new. clulite do a shoulder bag for 7ah batts for few quid .whatever batt you go for depends on how long you want to last as for the lamp strikers are ok apart from crappy internal wireing Quote Link to post
