Short lamping sessions

[rob190364 2,593]

Is there any reason why you couldnt use a 1 or 2 million candle power torch for short lamping sessions? i know battery life is very short but for 4 or 5 runs would they have the power and beam to do the job?

yes they would rob .reckon you would get 15-20 minutes out off it bud

Have you tried the lithium ones instead Rob? Get much more than 4hrs with a one of those plus the beam is superb

If it's the money that is the problem of the lamping kits I heard the Cree torches off ebay are meant to be the nuts and cost a tenner!

yeah I've seen those on ebay....just seems wierd to get a strong enough beam off a normal torch but people seem to think they're brilliant don't they!

No, like this one you mean? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MAKITA-BML185-TORCH-UKV-LITHIUM-ION-CE-UK-/110735334675?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item19c8571d13

yeah that's what I'm thinking.....just for small fields when out and about for an hour or so. Don't have any land with big open fields at the moment and won't be out for hours and hours at a time so it seems a bit daft to shell out £100 plus on a decent lamping kit.

Weres your location ? I have five 12v 17ah dry cell bats I don't use anymore

what do you mean? so if I got one of those halogen lights, took it apart and connected the +/- wires to the terminals on a 12v battery, is that all that's needed? sorry if it's a stupid question but I don't really know much about electrics!

short trips are ok , but when out in the feild the need to keep going kicks in ( one more try , one more quick look} " oh , ile just try that feild " and then you spot some eyes in a hedge bottom as your lamps fading , there really is nothing worse mate , i,d get a lamp sorted asap ............
