I like the 170's dobby, nice tight beam, but like a lot of people say, the wiring is suspect, but unlike a lot of folk, I don't rewire mine, I put a bolt in the handle where the screw thread is, then tape the wire to it leaving a little bit of slack on the lamp side, so it never gets tugged on and I've never had a minutes bother, I also chop off the crappy cigar lighter end and fit a two pronged push fit joint on the end and the other end of the two piece wired direct to the battery, no fuse or bugger all. The two piece connections cost just over a quid from any electrical shop, well worth the effort.

 

I also use a spare two piece to connect up in the motor so I can just snap the lamp on to the connection from the motor, although I do put an in line fuse on this, so as not to take the fuse out in the jam jar, you can either wire this direct, or onto a cigar lighter plug and shove it in the fag lighter.

i rate the striker 170 as well, good all round lamp, 600m what more do you need, the 240 is a bit to powerfull for lamping foxy unless at long distances and i find it to large its like the top of a fooking lighthouse. the cigrette connctor is the only downfall to the light
