Compact hand held spotty

Post by 204 Hunter »

Hi All
Just want to know if there’s a decent compact hand held available?
I have been using an olight mounted to the scope and wondered if there’s something of a similar lens size in a hand held?
Nightforce have a small scope mount light that could have a handle fitted but they are battery operated and I’d prefer something that runs off the car battery.
Any ideas
Thanks

20 Watt Cree LED. LightForce handle and focus system. Weighs fuckall. Uses fuckall power. Range is limited to about 150 meters. Maybe 200 in absolute ideal situations.
We use it out of the Polaris or Bobcat and runs for hours without compromising the battery. The LED light seems to not startle most animals. Pigs at times ignore it.

Bought from AliExpress for about $20 shipped around 5 years ago. It has no brand name anywhere but the handle is LightForce quality and interchanges with their other lights. The lens is some sort of toughened glass. Housing is anodized alloy of very good quality. It is an outstanding bit of gear for what it is. You will have to search Ali to find it, i have no other information for you sadly. Best of luck with it.

The 30 watts would certainly be welcome. Very similar to what i have but without the ratchet focus as seen on LightForce by the look. It says high temperature ? but with Cree LEDs there is little to no heat whatsoever. Some other minor differences but very close. Good find rabbitz.

Hmmm
Lightforce light is near $400!
Ali light $18
Might be worth a try
Thanks
