fox digger 1,086 Posted April 3, 2014 Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 lads do any of ye know where i can get a new lightforce blitz 240 with the old type turn knob dimmer, ive rang loads of places here and in the uk and all i can get is the newer type with the 3 switches........ surely there is some of the older type left someplace....

fox digger 1,086 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2014 just got a reply from one supplier to say the new type took over about 2 years ago but they dont sell the variable models anymore as the new ones are too unreliable.... i never doubted you paulus Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fox digger 1,086 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 A bit cheaper ........ http://www.targetsports.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=184 socks these dont have them either! 16 emails today from different shops. this one included, any old models they had were taken back off them. a couple of replys said the newer 3 switch type is being upgraded in the autum so it will be more user friendly and more reliable!! two placer also reccommended debens tracer 210 who still use the twist knob dimmer, recon they are as good as the 240.... are they??? is the beam the same? if it is i have no problem buying one. opinions please...

Hot Meat 3,109 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Buy a standard lamp, put an inline dimmer on wire and Bob's your aunties doctor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fox digger 1,086 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 that can be done hot meat but a pain in the arse to work aswell id imagine, dog held in one hand lamp in the other and your trying to root around for the dimmer on the line.... the normal dimmer can be turned with your thumb and its ideal, im not in a panic either way but could do with a new lamp and the blitz variable is the best of what i have used.
