steve_b_wales Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 You could try Cluson lamps. I have a hand held one and bought a scope bracket to attach it to. The one I have is 1 million cp ( Lazerlite) The only downside is that you cannot adjust the beam, but it goes a hell of a long way in total darkness. Also, filters, which I don't use, are cheap and easy to take on or off. They also do a ' shootalite ' lamp, slighty smaller than the Lazerlite.

JohnGalway Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 If you want small, then go for the Lightforce Lance 140. If I were you I would go for the larger Lightforce Striker 170. Whichever you choose get one with an inline dimmer switch. Or buy one seperately and wire it yourself like I did. Great lamps once you get the wiring sorted and it's not a hard job.

Dave-G Posted July 26, 2007 Report Share Posted July 26, 2007 How much you wanna spend? The Tracer Atom Tactical has all you want, fits 25 and 30mm scope tubes, compact, reliable, lightweight, accurate narrow beam from a "tunnelled" lamp that don't light up an arc of half the field ahead of you and all self contained with the battery pack in a pouch on the rifle butt..... Except it has a seriously **** battery pack that limits it's range and lit time, confining it to the range of a sub 12ftlb air rifle. Deben of course arn't likely to approve of this - but it works well for me after trying a few experiments to evolve the final 200 yard masterpiece. You need a decent soldering iron and must know how to use it. See the R&D thread here, sorry but the photo's have been lost: uprate a Tactical Atom Finally settled on 11 of these as the one's to use: Tagged 2500 mah AF size NiMH cells Thats right - 11 of them (13.2v) to give you a "header tank" of spare power that powers the lamp for up to 6 hours of variable brightness use. Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
