Jan147 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hi Just got my first permission and now it is coming darker looking at hand held lamps. Seems loads out there on the market. Before I buy one I wonder what others use? What did you buy, what candlepower and battery rechargeable. Are there any that should be avoided at all costs. Dont want to buy the wrong one and be an expensive mistake. any advice appreciated Thanks Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogfox Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 funnily enough, i use a lamp that i got for a 5er, i rigged it up witha 12v rechargeable battery and it works a treat up to nearly 400 yards things are still clear, it also has a perfectly narrow beam, theres no need to spend tons on a decent lamp, as great ones can be picked up cheap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I've tried and used many different lamps over the past few years. I now use a Cluson L7 lamp which is small, light and has 2 million candle power. Plus, I can unscrew the handle and attach it to my rifle. The other lamp I use is a Lightforce 240. 1 million candle power. It's big, but very light, and shines a brilliant beam. Hope this helps.

bullet boy Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Lightforce 240 Blitz-you wont beat it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonno243 Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 Hand held I use a 1 million CP Clulite - great bit of kit. In the LR we use a huge muckle big thing of unknown origin, I reckon my mate may have robbed it from a lighthouse if I am being honest! It is certainly bright enough and heavy enough. Sure as hell wouldn't want to hold it that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
