new deben tracer sport 170 lamp

[SikaTears 2]

Just read in basc mag deben have brought out a lightforce lookalike hand held lamps in the 140,170 & 210 sizes plus variable power models for less ££ than the lightforce equivalents.

 

Any one handled one or using one yet ??

 

hopefully the wiring will be better than the LF's

I've had a Tracer Sport Light for a month or so now and whilst it looks like a Lightforce the wiring is much better. There are protectors where the wires enter the lamp and the actual wiring seems to be heavier than the Lightforce.

The Lightforce was a good lamp overall despite some wiring probs. This one from Deben is very like the LF but seems to have ironed out the problems. (and it's cheaper).

Incidentally the cigar plug doesn't seem to warm up either, seems like a good unit to me.

Yes, according to my dealer, Deben distributed the light force for many years, but were so p1ssed off with the amount of returns due to wiring problems that they decided to do the job properly themselves.
