maddog546 Posted June 14, 2009 Report Share Posted June 14, 2009 Nice idea with the PIR but Lidl do a small light that runs on 3 C cell batteries with an in built PIR,being as its a low intensity it shouldnt frighten Charlie too much before you put his lights out. As for his puntuality being his downfall if the wind changes direction so will his visit time,worth bearing in mind! As mentioned I have taken lots of them the following night within 30 mins of thetime the farmer spotting them the previous evening,does your reputation a lot of good!

Frenchieboy Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Just out if interest has anyone tried using one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SENSOR-MOTION-SOLAR-...id=p3286.c0.m14 The only reason that I am asking is that it might eliminate the need to replace or recharge batteries. Would they be any use or might they be a bit too bright and frighten Charlei off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would they be any use or might they be a bit too bright and frighten Charlei off? I managed to find a small compact battery operated pir lamp unit while on hol in Ireland, in a pound type shop (excepting though it cost £6 lol) It had a white lamp lens which I painted red, the rest of it I painted matt black, then gradually painted the red lens matt black until it was subdued enough to just show at 150yds. It works very well and ranks as high as an NV unit in usefulness in the kit. No more sweeping the area with the lamp as you just sit quietly and wait. I place it about 15ft back from the bait site facing my shooting position, usually my def with me sitting in the back lounging in a fishing type armchair, picture the comfort level and weep lol. When it comes on I pop up through the sunroof, check with the NV and if alls well its game on, charlies at the diner These pir units are well worth seeking out and if anyone finds a source we can all get to, pass the word.
