jhiggins 48 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I've got a red filter for my lamp but it cuts the beam down that much that i find it difficult to lamp with it. Is there any merit to drilling a small hole in the center of it to allow a bit more light through to increase the length of the beam?? Rabbits round me are so switched on to the lamp now, the filter is essential! J the clulite ones have a hole cut in the centre,dont blame me if you f**k it up though Haha, yeh could be tricky! How big is the hole in the Clulite?? Small drill bit size or bigger? Quote Link to post

Small drill bit size or bigger? much bigger but cant be arsed to measure it,maybe the size of an old penny :laugh:you could heat a nail up and push it through creating a series of holes to the spec you want then knock the centre out Edited February 6, 2014 by hunter1372 Quote Link to post
dytkos 18,005 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 Usually use the striker most times. Got a red filter and cut a hole in the centre, cut off two tabs but its such a faff I don't bother with it any more. Filter = Cluelite, no filter = Striker. Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
Tiny 7 1,694 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I personally cant see past the red... Tried green, blue and the amber Amber by far you get the most range. But if driving the land got be full white beam I honestly think its down to own prefences cause iv lamped for people that hate couldnt see with the red right under the nose Quote Link to post
the big chief 3,099 Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I have used filters from when i 1st started shooting about 15 - 16 years back but only red and they take a little while to get used to but soon as you adjust they are bang on Quote Link to post
mud 2,044 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'd say it's always usefull to try different filters in different areas.... 1 Quote Link to post
