[kevk 12]

Odd one but need help finding the right lamp as I will be useing it for my hawk and dogs at least 500 m beam any recommended ? I heard good things about ultra fire torches and really like idea of no wires ect but no sure what model is best and help please ?

Not sure about 500m,but have a look at the cree torches/headlamps on e bay or you tube.with the rechargeable battery's,might not be what you want but worth a look,the power is measured in lumen the higher the more powerful,i use a 1600lm or 1800lm for lamping bunny's with the dogs,this one has colour filters.

500m with a cree? not a chance....I've got a 1600 lumen cree, it's OK up to about -100 meters or so, any more than that and it's just not a patch on a proper lamp. They're good for small fields but nothing more than that IMO.

Is it a good make or just a cheap one?

Have a look at night master 800 derelight. Also depends with led torches what type of beam you want...if you want to do more research on led torches, have a look on the candlepower forum.

[kevk 12]

Seen one on eBay but ultra fire says 800 m it has 3 LEDs in the one head xm-l 3 I think it called

[kevk 12]

But I also know eBay have a lot of fake stuff so am unsure if to trust it

 

Xm-l cree 3800 lum torch ultra fire

Ultrafire are low end cheap lights. Costs a fair bit for a decent torch....something with an aspherical lens will give you good length of beam... Tightly focused though.......some blokes on gamekeeper section got a thread on night master 800.... There's a YouTube clip the night master, if I get chance I'll put the you tube clip up later.

I think it's an ultrafire one, I'll check later. It's off ebay, can't remember how much I paid for it but it wasn't much. Don't get me wrong it's bloody bright, and good enough for small fields. it just doesn't have the beam for distances. Like you say though, you get what you pay for.....I think it was about 15 quid from memory.

 

I just use it for a back up in case my bulb goes, or I have it in my pocket if I'm just on a wander.

I have the one up from the 800,the dereelight xsearcher,,bigger lens wider beam and throws further,,ect,,,I made the mistake of getting the pil that throws the tightest beam and further,,,i should have went for the pill that throws I wider beam and in yellow color ,,white lights fine just takes abit off getting use too

 

having said that its a great torch,,the distance it throws,,is amazing for a torch ,,,and it fits with extention tube in my zip pocket in my combat jacket and it aint that heavy,,and I am always using it

mine lasts for absolutely ages, as in probably 2 - 3 hours of being on full beam, maybe more.
