What Cree Torch?

[bullet boy]

I know this has been mentioned before on a similar thread but I'm still undecided what pocket sized powerful Cree torch to buy in the UK.

I don't want to buy a cheap Chinese or similar make on the bay but want a tidy one from a good Store or Dealer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou.

Led lenser p7 with gun mount kit and pressure pad off the bay £50 and is very good for air rifle and rim fire I have used on both and found to be a great bit of kit and for a ten pound more you can get filter kit. Worth a go if its not what you want you would sell for same price easy.

I had a Fenix TK11 it's a cracking little torch. I used it a lot over the last couple of years until the Mrs nicked it for checking the lambs, small, light enough and with a good reach, eyes at 100yds, it was good enough for the rimfire. Only downside was I thought that the beam was a bit wide, with quite a lot of overspill. Two different power settings, high and low. Decent battery life.

So I bought an ArmyTek Predator, the head is a bit bigger but the beam is quite tight, not too heavy to sit on the rifle. It has about a million settings including SOS and strobe, not that I will use them

Both have gun related accessories.

Thanks for that Gav but im not after a Torch to use with Rifle but more so for using to look around fields.Something that can fit nicely in your Pocket and maybe use to find shot Rabbits or Foxes after ive shot them with my NV set-up.

Clulite make a nice Cree torch, handy bit of kit for £70, 200m beam should find anything you shoot and also double up if you want to spot some eyes.

[Gregthegreat]

What's your budget?

[bullet boy]

What's your budget?

 

Under £100.

I do like the look of the Olight M20SX Warrior though.

Camokid had a thread not long ago with a good led torch.

Thanks Mate.Ive spoke to Andy(Camokid) about it.

Fenix LD20 does it for me. 2xAA & various settings, batteries seem to last for ages.

Led Lenser P2 1xAA, very handy, alwways in my pocket at work.

Also bought a Lidl special offer 3xD cell, beam goes on forever but a large lump to carrry around.

 

Basically, LED's are just getting better all the time. You can now even get superb conversions for Mini Maglites bringing them screaming into the 21st century.

I use a surefire. For rabbiting it was around 15 pound off the bay

With a white cree I did buy a green cree that was better as the rabbits did not run with it

But the cree bulb did not last very long

The only down side is it takes 2 123a batteries they do last a while

But they are around 1.50 each

Is that the Pro-Scanner1000 Torch? Anyone have any experience of this torch? I'm just wondering what sort of maximum shooting distance you could get with it.

 

I've tried one of the Ultrafire torches with the modified lens, the beams ok, but the torch itself is very unreliable.

Hi

I Bought a 'Divers Torch' off the bay £4.99 absolutely fantastic, Came from China within 4 days and works superb. On UK sites they are £44.99 for the same torch. Look out for the fluorescent lime yellow with the little diver on the side, superb.

Do you have a link to this torch?

I know the Nightmaster 800 is over my budget but i think i will save that bit extra and go for this.

[Goldfish]

NM800, you will not be disappointed.

[Farmer-of-the-Futre]

Take a look at some from Nitecore. Ive got the mt2a and mt1c. You'd probably want something with more throw like the mt26 or mt40 . Or maybe the MH40

Sorry Steve no but they are fairly easy to find the colour is a dead give away they are bright flourescent yellow. Good luck

Hi Mark,

Not sure of your bias against Chinese lights but I have a surefire knock off that I paid too much for but works fantastic. I bought it from an American supplier and my son bought a whole box full from China--same light for what I gave for one. I purchased a cap with a bracket that the light snaps into and works keen for spotting with the red LED. I think Sure Fire direct or DynoDirect was the site.
