Which lamp battery

[Paid 935]

Spot on fence hopper, thats pretty much the same set up as mine, only I use the blitz.

LOL. All of the above. My present Deben 14ah came as two 7.2's strapped together. It weighs over 10 lbs already. The new one weighs 13 lbs. I have it in a small rucksack and walk for probably 3 or 4 hours in any one session. The deben is about 1 year old and never really held its charge.

 

I am not getting any younger and am now blind as a bat so I do use it quite a lot for negotiating fences and hedges.

 

Maybe the cluelite (sp?) with the secondary lamp would be the ideal solution for me but santa's already been and I'll have to wait.

Hi.

I carry a small LED torch on my belt, which I use for any climbing around etc - Tesco have some very, very good black, metal cased LED torches on sale from about £10 upwards. I wish you well with your new battery. Like you I am no longer in the first flush of youth (I started my lamping career in the mid-1970's) with eyesight that isn't quite what it once was and a touch of arthritis as well, so the weight issue matters to me in a way that it didn't twenty years ago and I just can't be arsed to go lamping for three or four hours, I go for an hour or two and that's enough for me these days and I stash whatever I catch at regular intervals to avoid lugging large weights around. Cheers. LG

 

I have started stashing. Its great until I have to double back further than I would choose. My knees are also beginning to tell me what my wife has been telling me for years. I had considered getting one of those LED head lamps for the heavy cover, hedges and fences.

 

I would like to know how you get on with the L-ion battery. I just looked it up on the deben website and its quite expensive. But the website I linked also have them and i would consider one if it gave a decent endurance.
