SWIN17 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 I cut the connectors off the end of mine so it just wires straight into the battery with no fuses or other connections had no problems since. Quote Link to post

Guest vin Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 here,s a few pics of it...i think one battery will be better than these 2....they are heavy as well.. and i think my little LEDs are still way better for mooching...look at size difference.. and they weigh very little.

Guest vin Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 whats the battery life like on the mag light vin? great...they all last a good night out...and if your really mad for it you can carry spares in yer pocket and still not feel the weight... the middle one is amazing.but the Mag is great value 4 money.. its all in my post The Ultimate Lamp.. im still at it trying to get some beam shots and comparisons.. I will use the striker now as a yard stick..and get some pictures up. Quote Link to post

summat decent 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Report Share Posted April 17, 2009 In my opinion it looks like a striker,best lamp i have ever had grand job. Quote Link to post
Guest vin Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 just been out with the striker and tested it against the Mag and Tiablo... Both give the striker a run for the money, its a close call to say which is best.. its down to personal taste.. Both the LEDs have a tighter beam with a lot less spread.. and they both go the distance on the length of beam..so its very hard to say. they way less..and fit in yer pocket .and will probably last longer before recharge, spares are easy to carry. atvb vin Quote Link to post
TOMO 26,728 Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Will these ltle torches last a full night vin, or should i say how long will the batteries last . the other thing is , lampers have always strived to get tight beams of light. but i wonder if you could go to tight. you see when using the light force , and you flick round a field you see lots of rabbits in the edges of the beam. and even when the dog is running you will notice one out the corrner of your eye in the edge of the beam, sat tight that you may run next. also when the dog is running at the farthest edge of the beam , it would be very easy to compleatly loose the dog and quarry if there wernt i little bit of periferal light. any way look forward to you findings , cheers TOMO Quote Link to post
