david jones 97 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 All old school lamps I had was all hand made, wish I still had mine but. Had some bloody good nights with It, Consisted of a Morris minor head light with a motor bike handle some how stuck to it with, a bloody heavy car battery the other end. Cloths and jackets didn't last that long with acid swilling around my mum used to go mad about it lol 8 Quote Link to post

J Darcy 5,871 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 The best as a boy was an old Lucas headlight. I did some miles and caught some tackle with that. I have no idea where it went to, wish I still had it. 3 Quote Link to post

dai dogs 1,193 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Lucas LR14 Lucas LR6 I think the LR14 was the better one 2 Quote Link to post
colliejohn 840 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 I use to use the Lucas LR9, i still use the BlueEye, and the Coleman 400,000, i have a brand new still boxed 1 million candle power lamp with the handle what turns into a tripod, the ones in the ,s what you could buy from Argos, big lamp like a Blitz, to be honest i prefer the old school type lamps there more robust, and made better than alot of lamps made today. regards collie john. 3 Quote Link to post
