wildfowler.250 Posted April 9, 2014 Report Share Posted April 9, 2014 I'm going to bite the bullet and fork out for a nightmaster 800. Mainly a general lamp for rabbits/use with the airgun and hopefully start lamping this year. my question is what colour of lamp to go for? I was thinking red or green? I was leaning towards green as it lets you see further at night? thoughts would be greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted April 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Maybe should have posted this in the vermin section. No preference of red or white? Or Amber/green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 (edited) If you're getting just the one initially, I'd be inclined to go for the red. As you specify airgun/rabbit, the red (Demon) has the three power settings which permits you to keep the light output down to no more than is necessary. If, by lamping, you mean a bigger calibre I'd be inclined to bite a bit harder and go for the XSearcher. For my money, 800 or XSearcher, the white is a bit of a brute but also has the 3 settings to tone it down. The amber is a very pale yellow with just the one output level. I rate this for fox as there's not much of a difference in range but it does not have the harsh glare of the white which can sometimes prove problematic. Not tried the green. Edit: PS Forgot, should you go for either torch and also decide on the remote switch which saves you climbing all over the rifle, hang slack as in a couple of weeks a much improved 'ON' version will be available as opposed to the existing pressure pad one.

wymberley Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 As per the white provided you have the demon - slacken off the neck a turn or so and repeatedly press the 'On' button and the intensity will change. Once you have what you want, press the button for a few seconds and the memory will kick in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
did i miss Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 looks like mine isent a demon is the demon red any brighter than the normal red Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 T think all they do is dim the light some, fit a dimmer or just use a lower intensity of light generally and just use white IMO. The fact that a creature is said to have poor colour vision in a certain specrum don't mean it don't know when its lit up like a Christmas tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V8 90 Posted April 10, 2014 Report Share Posted April 10, 2014 Get the red & don't waste your money on an Xsearcher - you don't need it for an Air Rifle - You could buy a T20 with a Red LED for around £45.00 - it'll do all you want & more !!
