upgrading striker 170

[Graham 87 0]

well as it says in the topic i have a lightforce striker 170 handle without the bulb i was just wondering if i was to put a blitz 240 bulb in it and put the blitz head on it would the handle be able to cope with these changes made as i dnt want to go out and get the bulb for it to just blow straight away all information would be gratefull cheers

Yes mate the only difference is the Reflector simply get a blitz head and replace it.

the handles are all the same only the heads are different

i never like the head on the blitz but i always liked the power of them

neva would buy a lamp always make my own lamping kits , get more satisfaction out off making them and using them try making 1 instead of buying 1 mate . here are some pics of mine ive just made.

I like that kit jackard. Homemade and elegant.

 

Question, is the bulb covered by glass or something or is it open...and if it is covered is there some sort of clip system for the glass or a ring you screw on?

 

cheers

covered with glass mate , its sealed,(glass is easyly changed if smashed ) when you need to change the bulb the handle comes off after removing some screws and the bulb just comes out to change . the switch on the lamp is a micro presure switch so its instant on and off not like other switchs that seam to be delayed.(only on when you apply pressure). hope this helps and many thanks

maybe the stikers with bitz heads ive seen had a lower watt bulb so appear dimmer. Maybe something to sdo with the blitz ive seen having dimmer switches ?just a thought but they deffo both did look less bright when compared to a shop bough blitz ...

A 100W bulb (the same proper LF bulb) in a Blitz casing on any handle will result in the same beam.

my blitz has a 100w bulb but i heard you shouldn't put a 100w bulb in a 170?don't know why and can't remember where i read it now...although my mate has used a blitz handle and bulb on a striker a few times and it was ok.

strikers come with 100w bulbs as standard dont they????
