Gimlet Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I've been reading the write-up on this gunlamp in sporting Shooter and I'm tempted to get something like it for my .222. Anyone tried one? I don't do much dedicated foxing with vehicle and lampman but I would do a lot more night work on foot if I had a flashlight lamp that was good. I don't want to move the NV unit from my rimfire and I can't afford to buy another one for the triple. I've shied away from LED flashlight gunlamps up to now because I like dimmer switches and red filters which really cut the range down with LEDs. A red LED rather than filter sounds more like it, though the beam is apparently very tightly focused with a small pool. Just wondered how these lamps measure up or what the alternatives are.

Yes, keep us posted. Didn't know there was an IR LED for them as well. I'd be interested in that for my N550. I take it the colured and IR LEDs are extra?

theosmith Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 i think they are doing a first come first served on them at £45 for people that got the kit first, altho they are selling the ir kit which is what i went for http://www.nightmaster.co.uk/ir-illuminator.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tinytim38 Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Has anyone used the white version? supposed to be able to identify foxs out to 500 yds, and eyes out to 800, be interested to know what they are like in the feild compared to a lightforce 170 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 18, 2012 Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 the issue as I see it is its fine having something that bright but foxes will run on it unless they are of the really tame variety, takes a lot to beat a nightforce with a decent dimmer from that respect as its completely variable. But this is a lot lighter to carry which is the big plus I'm undecided but fortunately can spot foxes to 300 with my nv with the built in IR so its not needed, overall they seem a good idea but the ability to dim would be my concern especially on our ground where they do one as soon as you look at them with a bright light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
