sirgoldalot Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) This recently arrived no customs to pay and i brought as an auction not buy it now... red cree torch so no red filters required comes with everything you need to get it to mount on your gun ( I use deben quick mounts as i have several different torches) all you do need is some self adhesive velcro to attach the touch pad to the gun stock and of course some batteries and a charger (18650 lithium ion) readily available on the bay This has a mirrored smooth deep reflector no orange peel so it sends a nice tight beam out to about 200 yards with not to much splash to the sides... Im using on rimfire and air rifle and its more than capable of reaching the limits of those. I like to alternate lamp colours as i find it does not spook rabbits or foxes so much as constantly using one colour. using 18650 rechargeable i get 2-3 hours usage more if i didn't use it to scan constantly whilst on foot. In my opinion a great torch for the money even better if you already own batteries and charger http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cree-HS-802-1-Mode-Red-light-hunting-Led-Flashlight-Tactical-Switch-Gun-Mount-/261281037212?pt=US_Flashlights&hash=item3cd5903b9c arrival time was 21 days well packed Edited October 20, 2013 by sirgoldalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Maughan Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 Looks good, is the beam fixed or focusable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirgoldalot Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 (edited) Looks good, is the beam fixed or focusable? its fixed beam as the reflector is very long for this type of torch also single function so no SOS flashing going on one press bright tight beam does a great job.... simples Edited October 20, 2013 by sirgoldalot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRNDL Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 I have just purchased one. Mainly air rifle and maybe FAC bunny bashing rifle if I ever buy one! Failing that will use it on my shotgun for lamping rabbits! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted October 21, 2013 Report Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Whilst that is very likely a nice torch with plenty of reach, and at a decent price too, any torch with a reflector and flat front lens has a disadvantage to the hunter who has got his eyes adjusted to the darkness. The spill reflects off close up foliage, dust and moisture in the air and causes his pupils to close up somewhat, sometimes you even feel it happen and squint. A torch that has an aspheric lens and no reflector is kinder to the night adjusted hunters eyes and he gets to see further with opened pupils and more comfortable vision.

beanieboy Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 I have just purchased one - comes complete with pressure switch and mount. At just over twenty quid it's worth a punt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Same here, Just bought one ! I have a Tiablo anti spill tube already so this should do the trick and if not I am sure one can be knocked up easy enough !

Salop Matt Posted October 23, 2013 Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 OP can you conform the OD of the torch head please ? ATB Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salop Matt Posted November 7, 2013 Report Share Posted November 7, 2013 Mine arrived today, I have charged my batteries up and I will try it with them and will also try a pair of CR123A non rechargables to see if that makes any difference !

Salop Matt Posted November 8, 2013 Report Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Well I fired mine up last night ! I am very happy with it easily getting 70-80 yards for clear shooting and eye shine to 100/120 yards (Fox at 100yards would be fine). I will take the range finder out one night and the lamp and give it a bash with some exact distances and if I can some photos also as soon as I get chance. The mount is identical to one I already have and is a real good bit of kit worth £10 alone IMO. I am happy with my purchase and it beats my previous setup IMO although is slightly bigger and heavier. My previous setup was: *This Ultrafire C8 T6 Torch ( http://www.bikelights.co.nz/ultrafire-c8-1000-lumen-t6-3-x-mode-xm-l-led-rechargeable-flashlight-torch-1 ) And a curly cable end cap with batterys and charger. *With Tiablo Anti spill tube and Red + Yellow filter ( http://www.inovatech.co.uk/shop/Tiablo-A9-Anti-Spill-Tube.html , http://www.inovatech.co.uk/shop/Tiablo-A9-Red-Filter.html , http://www.inovatech.co.uk/shop/Tiablo-A9-Yellow-Filter.html ) As a yellow and white light its brillient with 1000+ lumens but the red filter brings it down to a 40/50 yard beam. I have 3 light options when lamping now: The light force 140 for scanning and lamping from the car. The Ultra-fire + tiablo as a white or yellow beam for on foot. The new light for the majority of my on foot stuff. I do have other torches and lights but I will have a look through them now and see what I think about flogging some of it ! I may cease to use the ultra-fire for lamping etc and just use it as a white light torch for dog walking and spotting shot quarry. Next job is to rig up an in car charger for the batterys so that I always have some ready for a lamping session. And an anti-spil tube for the new light.
