Spotlight

Post by Timmo84 »

Im in need some wise councel , I would like to get myself a spotlight. Ideally I'd like something that can be used handheld while on foot and also be used out of the vehicle, not sure if there is something suited to both tasks. Also not sure whether to get one of the new generation torches or a traditional spotlight. I do have a scope mounted torch.
Any thoughts or advice would be great.

Thanks Tim

You can use light force lights as mobile units as they still use the handle to screw the remote handle into, just unscrew it off the roof mount and clip it up to a battery with crocodile clips, Powerbeam, which are my preferred spotlight don't have this capacity. I am just using a Lightforce 170 on the ute, but I do have the bigger head as well, just a matter of screwing one off and screwing the other on. Sounds a bit Tasmainian :lol: :lol:

From what I have heard you will not be disappointed. Lots of distance and lots of width.

If you have seen them in action you no what your buying if not the will give you some idea
I was shooting at Gundagai with two farmers and when I left there I ordered 4 for them they were so impressed
Better than my big power Beam and every bit as good as my night eater I used to have

Hellfyr wired up ready for a run
Only testing tonight in a few paddocks but will compare it through a scope to get an idea how good it is
