nite stalker 220 lamp

[Rabbithunter 456]

im looking for a new lamp for next season, and since i cant find a coleman 800,000CP anywhere, i am looking at the nite stalker range

 

my main concern is can you purchase colored filters for them? i know you can get red, but i like the amber & green

 

whats the beam like on these things? is it as good as the blitz?

I.V HEARD THEY AINT ALL THAT MATE TO MUCH GLARE COMES FROM THEM GET A LIGHTFORCE MATE

i heard the same as poacher i just ordered a new lightforce striker variable it has a dimmer on it so you have more control over the output and you can also adjust the beam from flood to spot loads of different colour lenses available too, quite expensive for a lamp though £120

 

LightForce Filters

 

Red Filter

Most popular for foxing

and lamping rabbits.

 

Amber Filter

Also good for foxing,

excellent in foggy conditions.

 

Green Filter

Specially for spotting

animals with sensitive eyes.

 

Blue Filter

For highlighting contrast

in snow, rain & foggy conditions.

 

Infra-Red Filter

Ideal for use with night vision devices

i just dont fancy paying the money for a lightforce again... the wiring fucks.... you touch it, guarantee VOID... and im damned if im going to send it back to lightforce for repairs, and wait months without a lamp.

 

i do have a lightforce 240 and yes they are fecking good.....

 

Unless someone out there has a coleman for sale i will pay good money for one of those !!!

i use the 180 nite stalker and find it good. nice tight spot on it but yes it does give a bit of glare off and the tight spot comes with that massive reflector. dont think you can get the range of filters though, or you couldnt last time i checked.

When I was looking into getting a lamp a few months back I was only looking at getting a lightforce lamp for no reason other than I knew they were a big name in lamps. When I had the cash I went to Litts in Newport to sort myself out with a lamp and after talking to one of the boys there he recommended that I go for a nite stalker as they have a better build quality that lightforce and have less to go wrong.

 

In the end I went for the nite stalker 180 and it was worth every penny . There was a issue with glare but it’s nothing that 3 coats of black spray paint won’t solve, the only other thing is that the filter is a bit awkward to get on and off in the field and does make a bit of noise doing so.

Giving time I might come up with a solution to this problem till then the red filter stay’s on when out and about.

 

Below is some pics of what i've done.

they aint all that good the wiring is not that good either all though it is better than the lightforce

 

the old colemans are the best but dont half eat a battery

usedto run with a lad who had coleman 800000cp on a 16amp battery.......... lasted all night..... its the wattage of the bulb that eats the battery... not the lamp

[Guest rio]

we use ours for lamping off the van we put it on the vans battery it cant run out then
