Saltmoon 2,208 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Plr 500 is what I got nice little lamp... no good for big fields I wouldn't thing but only small ones round me Quote Link to post
MikeyMJL 128 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Got a PLR500 as my first lamp. Worth every penny of the £45 I spent on it, caught a few with it but the beam colour to me is in the blue/daylight spectrum so I struggle with it. I use it nowadays as a training lamp playing fetch in the dark. Treated myself to a Tracer 170 variable, 10ah lithium battery and a 100w Osram Xenophot bulb. Amazing setup. Tight spot, extremely bright turned up full but at 30%-50% the eyes shine lovely without spooking too much 2 Quote Link to post

I think there was the 800,000 cp available back then aswell. Anybody still have any of these???? nowadays i dont think you can beat the lightforce. The striker is my choice at the moment. 1 Quote Link to post
Bosun11 537 Posted March 28, 2018 Report Share Posted March 28, 2018 Sad to say but i'm looking for a new Blitz, or similar, for my next lamp (this April birthday!). Thing is, round here i need such power now, never had before... Just about everything here seems to now live on the edge of a Strikers capabilities. I honestly think that lamps will constantly go up in power in years to come, as critters just get wiser to the beam... Quote Link to post
