going to buy a lamp/battery tomorow

[Strong Stuff 2,171]

 

Ring them up, agree your deal, and post them the cash ............. doesn't sound too difficult?

 

I think WILF was getting some of those Lithium packs in and was sure he could beat £125, maybe worth a try?

i'd advise to stay away from the shoulder packs... even the light ones wear your shoulder out after a few hours... belt packs are hard to beat

[Guest SJM]

I agree with oldskool I find the belt pack a much better way to distribute the weight than a shoulder one. The type of lamp you will need will depend on what quarry your intending to lamp and what type of land. You wont go far wrong with a lazerlite they are a good beginners lamp, small compact and light weight and the side beam is handy. But they have their limitations, in large fields the beam isnt as good as the lightforce lamps, I would say a lazerlite is a good choice for rabbit lamping and something with a longer beam and more candlepower is better for lamping other quarry Arthur Carter does some decent deals, I got a lamp and battery pack off him a wee while ago for £100 plus a £10 discount of my next order, I wish I had spent a bit extra now though and gone for the belt battery pack cos I just cant get on with the shoulder one if I am out for a reasonable length of time

if ya want a belt back , get a bum bag cost a few quid from the market stals , just make shure its big enough for the 7am batterie.

 

but most of you lot on here have more money than sence , buying all these kits , including batteries and lamps ect.

 

get round your markets , theres lots of places to get the batteries, all these stalls doing the disabled scooters have the sealed gel batteries, you can get a 18 amp for around £20 -25 and the little 7amps for around, £5. shop around ladies and gents.

 

also you can get a little ruck sack for a fiver from the markets , personly i find these the most comfortable for the bigger 18 amp

anyway just got a quote from a gun room near me £72 for a lightfource striker and £89 for the compatable 18 amp battery....what you think to that price?going to get a few more quotes and see if anyone will price match etc etc

good idea that, thank you will research in to it

 

was just thinking that, most hunting gear is made for men so a pouch designed for a battery to go round your waist probably wouldnt adjust to my size........there aint many men ladys size 6 wondering about now are there

£89 for the batterie, feck that girl, do like i say get round the markets, you can pic a cheap batterie charger up for around £10 from most motorst discount shops. by the way an 18 amp baterie wont fit a bum bag , better of with a little rucksack for the big batterie.

89 quid for a battery
