cockercas Posted December 20, 2011 Report Share Posted December 20, 2011 Right I need to buy a torch/lamp that's compact. Mostly to find shot foxes but would be handy to shoot rabbits with a rimfire. I do most of my shooting out of 4x4 but once or twice a year I'm forced out on foot I do all lamping with a lamp man. I've been looking at a deben tracer max. It ticks most of the boxes. Plus I can take the odd fox by myself. But I want a dimmer switch. Can you get a dimmer version? as all I have looked at are just on/off. Or is there any alternatives Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Deben Tracer Max is pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimlet Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 I bought a Deben Tracer Max for precisely the same reasons. I found that by choosing the dimmer switch the unit was converted to 6 volt with obvious lamp-power loss. I fell out with Deben over it and ended up buying a Cluson. Don't know if this is still the situation with these lamps, but I'd check with Deben that you can have a vari-power Max and retain full 12v power. I was very disappointed to find that my big powerful Max became an Atom when run through a dimmer. Have to say the Cluson is vastly better quality but does have more light spill.
