codling99 Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 170 all day,240 a bit big,especially when wind hits it,and drains battery quicker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 170 all day long It will light them up at a distance you won't even be able to shoot at! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glensman Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I call my 240 the bin lid. Far too big, especially in wind. For 200 yrds the 140 would be my pick... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albob Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 170 with DIMMER.. the dimmer will conserve the battery power and saves wasting light that you do not need and you can alter the beam from spot to flood. also the distance is not always needed,as for spotting foxes at distance you use the also the outer part of beam to spot eyes and the centere to confirm before the shot. very versatile lamp is the 170 with dimmer. al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scout Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 170 , dimmer is a bonus, great bit of kit even with a filter is good to 500 metres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
