Where To Buy Lightforce Scope Mounted Lamp ?

vixdname

Lads, a Lightforce striker 170 (Gun mounted) lamp (Variable is best according to Johngalway) is on the xmas wish list this year, where would ye recommend getting one of these in Ireland ?
I would consider getting one from the north or the UK but if there wasnt too much of a difference in price I'd rather spend my cash at home if possible.
Any info much appreciated .....

Did you purchase Vix?

Didnt purchase yet John, t'will be a little closer to xmas before I do, but am looking forward to getting it - I wont be depending on having to have anyone to come with me to work the lamp

Got it at Opticswarehouse, he didn't want a dimmer so that made life a bit easier!

It's handy alright to be able to go out when you need to and not be wondering if your mates girlfriend will let ye

what kind of distance would a lightforce 140 throw, im thinking of getting a scope mounted one for nights lamping alone

Terrier

Been looking at getting a single setup for lamping, now i have a lightforce 170 scope mounted as a back up to my lightforce blitz but between the light and batterys it a heavey enough load to be carrying about especially if your after bunnies and need to carry everything home.

So after reading a few reviews on new LED gun mounted lights i'm thinking of a nice christmas present.

Anyone have any of these new lights?

There is better lights on Dealextreme than that one. I think this would be a better thrower.
Seems like the LED torch mounted as a lamp is growing in popularity.
There is also the Led lenser L7 on special now for 25 in Arro hardware stores, that has a good throw.

Don't know when I last used mine. I used it a few times with the Tikka when I had it. Doubt I ever got much past 150 yards with it after foxes. 170 is the way to go IMO. If you do get the 140 beware of using a higher watt bulb as the reflector can become discoloured and reduce performance by a big margin, seen it done.

Terrier,

I bought an EagleTac torch a while back, details are up here somewhere if you do a search. You'd see bunnies to shoot out to maybe 125 with it, weighs nothing and you can use rechargeable batteries. Great for shotgun lamping too.
