lightforce lamps

ive used all three of these lamps and i enjoyed using them i like the fact that you can set the beam at your preverance i like mine a nice tight beam when running dogs but like a full beam when shooting what do all you lot think about the lamps lance,striker,blitz all the best sh

i like the lamps started with the lance rather nice for rabbiting
light weight and hardy ,ive now upgraded to the blitz
awkward when climbing but a grand lamp 2 .
only thing i do with them is swap the wiring for my old clulite to stop wire snap.
as ive been out on sevrel occasions with old wiring and had to stop lamping
due to a break in the wire .other than that cant go wrong :+':

i prefer the clu lite
just need a red filter

got tae wait 2 weeks
feckers

nothing mate off an old lamp
they are good as you can swap from red to clear.
with a little flick .
to be honest when i used to use the lamp ,
i never used anything else
if it will fit on you can have it .
well i will try dig out the front too
but im sure i have tried before with no luck
canny be far away .

i was on the phone tae them last week
they are realy helpfull

sent me some rocker switches an bulbs
too the shop i got the lamp fae

i just had tae go an pick them up

i cant fault the lamp
does exactly what i want

I like the striker, but was thinking about the lance with a stonger bulb, not sure whether that would improve or hinder the lamp though, anyone tried this?

yes i had the lance and put a 50 /70/100 tried them all
now the only problem is less battery time ok on 50 like .
and if you go higher you notice lot more battery usage.
also you have to turn the housing to make it spot
due to the longer bulb length. but saying that the lad i swapped my lance with
the strengh of the lance and bltz dont vary greatly just the blitz
more distance on the spot ,but if you your doing smaller feilds etc climing
the lance i can recomend ,i had great fun with mine :+':

Cheers, I thought that there would be some downside, as i think both the lance and striker have the same bulbs, but different housing.

to be honest mate
they all come with the same 35w bulb i believe
just the bigger housing throws the beam the bit further.
but i will say the lad i swapped the blitz with .
he is as happy with the lamce and dosnt understand why i swapped.
i think what you need to think of is would you need distance beam ,
what size are the feilds you lamp,and if you climb a bit.
now i must say now i have the blitz i dont like the bulkiness.
i would much prefer the small size of the lance nice and light too.
but saying that i had the striker the first i got
but the wire broke so took it back to shop .i found that the best.
but they had no more in stock and ended up with the lance.
if i were to use the lance again.i would upgrade the bulb to 50w
i think its about one turn out on the housing to get the spot correct.
and your getting the battery time too.i think all in all your gaining more power
on the rabbits eyes to help confuse the quarry and thats all :+':
oh and any bulb change get the osram as any other does not have the quality
of bulb or beam strength :+':

Osram, Ive heard of them, will do, i fixed my striker last night and the bulb snapped so it is now unfixed.

ha ok well you want the osram bulb or it wont give the beam strength
cheep ones are no good mate ,get a 35/50 and it will be like new .
if you fixed it right that is lol good luck

how does the bean adjust on the striker i have a 170 cant see how it does?

if you got the striker gaz which is a very good lamp .
i presume you have the standard bulb which is best in my opinion.
but if you do want to adjust the range of beam .
i would think that you have the reflecter housing tight
and that give you the tightest beam on the lamp .
now if you loosen it a little unscrew as to speek you will get a wider beam
and keep loosening it will go to flood if nessasary .
but if it has the standard bulb and you have the tightest beam that would do for me.

as im using the blitz with a bigger bulb and forever adjusting the beam so quite anoying really.
until i get the standard bulb but that can wait for me while next season now

I got him that lamp as an xmas pressie..
did i get a pressie in return
how you adjust the beam on em is you unscrew the lamp..as your un twisting the head of the lamp the beam gets wider....
until you totally unscrew it and the head of it comes off..when its on fully tight its at its narrowest beam...

regards IP

might get the blitz next how much are they now

bit bulky gaz really
i wish id stayed with a smaller lamp you dont gain much at all

i was gonna keep the 170striker as well and have the blitz , its looks like you could pick up sky with one of those fuckers but people swear by them , i havent had anyproblems with the striker only a few times had long ears runs out of beam how much you pay for your si

i used to have the lance gaz .and i did a deal with a mate luckily .
he now has the little lance and i gave him 30 pound i think
and yes longear their grand and worth everypenny .
well i suppose all it all it cant be knocked other than
when climbing it tends to get in the way .but somthing you get used to

yep gonna give it a go save a few pennys and get one just b4 season starts , ive never used a red filter thinking getting one wiv filter i must admit was out wiv a lad who had a red filter and i couldnt see jack when he had it on red does filter really give that much off a diff? and once you get close to rabbit to you switch off red onto white and lamp as normal?

well i started out with the cluson lamp with a red filter with rocky
and i prefered it on the rabbit .
i got the lance and i used an amber filter not really much good.
and iam going to get the red filter for my bltz for next season
it may lower the beam but once the eyes adjust to it
it is very suprising how good it is .not so bright on your own eyes
and makes the rabbits glow like a candle .
and i think you can change it to clear once they running yes ip mentioned that.
i havent tried it but red is definetly a good thing to have in your bag
espeacially if the rabbits a little lamp shy they normally sit to the red
