beastiehunter 2 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) Hi there, I need a lamping kit thats not over £120 but thats gona last me all night. My mate told me to get this one and just paint it black or something. http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/rechargeable-hand-lamp at the minuet i use a spot light that i plug into a portable power pack for the car that i carry in a back pack but its realy heavy and clumsy and the lights not mine. I realy need one thats gona last at least 4 or 5 hours but is still light enough to move freely ect. Any help would be great. Cheers Beastie Edited July 9, 2011 by jasper65 WRONG SECTION!

Ideation 8,216 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 If you are shooting, with an air rifle, just get one of those led lenser style torches, will light up to as far as your gonna shoot and obviously pick up rabbits much further, you'll get one for under 50 second hand.

donny D 0 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 You can get an ultrafire 501 led torch from the dealextreme website for less than a tenner delivered, i've got 2, both putting out 300 lumens, one with a white, one with a red led ! You can't go wrong for the money ! They do take 2-3 weeks to arrive but it's worth the wait !! I got a good set of rechargeable batteries for them and they last several trips between charges !!

andyfr1968 772 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 I use a Led Lenser H7 head torch with a 150 lumens bulb and it does me fine. It takes three AAA batteries that'll last for two or three nights out at least. £40ish from ebay. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 (edited) I have an Active 120 Lumen Cree LED torch from Tesco, takes 2 AA batteries, has a dimmer function (down to 10% of total output), a focusable beam, works and cost £25! Every little helps LOL! The advantage about getting it from Tesco's is that if there is ever a problem (should not be, metal bodied, water proof) it is easy to take it back, fleabay sellers could be located anywhere, absoultely anywhere... I have used it on several occasions and found the beam to be more than powerful enough, battery life 7 hours or so at full power, but unless you are lamping blind bunnies you will be using about 40% power!

scalesntails 118 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 You can upto 1400 lumen torches on ebay for less than £30. I even use one with the dogs when doing small fields if it's just a short trip out. Quote Link to post
secretagentmole 1,701 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 1400 Lumens? You are looking for rabbits not incoming Heinkels! 120 Lumens is more than enough! Remember more is not necessarily an advantage as the actress did NOT say to the bishop.... Quote Link to post

Tiny 7 1,694 Posted July 9, 2011 Report Share Posted July 9, 2011 Get yourself a striker and a 12v 12amp battery off flea-bay and you'll get both for £120 or under great alround lamps.... 1 Quote Link to post
