highlander 0 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 Depends what you want your lamp for mate and the tipe of ground your going to be on. I use a clulite for small parks and general bunny bashing. I use a lightforce 170 for bigger stuff got one for the top of the rifle and its great. The battery pack I use is a 17AH does the job for me I also have a dimmer switch fitted in to it handy if things dont like a bright light. Regards highlander Quote Link to post

mark.a 0 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 Those colman lamps were exellent, had one about ten years ago, but I have been searching for one for ages and have had no luck, does anyone know what happened to them ? Quote Link to post
Giro 2,648 Posted June 2, 2007 Report Share Posted June 2, 2007 If you can get a couple of lamps mabie over a period of time not just straight away... Light forces do tend to have bad wiring but once they are sorted they are good lamps.. I have different lamps for different nights out Clu light or lance small patch fields for rabbits.. Them My striker for Larger fields and Larger game.. I am also buyin a Blitz when i get the cash together so i will have four Lamps you never know one might bugger up or worst luck if you were to stray off your permission the law might cofcate your lamp not that anyone poaches these day.. I would mabie look for second hand on ebay i have bought lighforces brand new but if you fiddle with your own wires they warranty is void and i dont know anyone who has sent one back they only work better once they have been fiddled with Quote Link to post
