if you are getting a propper lamp get yourself a lightforce 140

Conchurl

how much are they? my budget is only €110 max for lamp, battery and postage

homerhop

ah that is a different kettle of fish. lightforce 140 is around €90 not including batterr.

The cheaper the lamp the more hassle u will have,try sportsden.ie

Honestly, this will sound unhelpful, but in the long run it's the best advice...

Save more. Buy a LF 170, then you are done, you'll have the best lamp the first go off.

This would be ok to get you started http://www.sportsden.ie/ucaller-eye-handheld-variable-beam-lamp.html You would need to know someone dats handy with a saledring iron and wiring though because they are prone to melting. Some one else might know where youd get a sealed lead acid battery at handy money. That all together package looks a bit too good to be true!

ok all i need now is a lamp and connector for lamp to battery. i have been given a brand new battery from a friend he "borrowed" it from work a few months ago

i have been using a ucaller 170 for a yr and a half, once a week and have had no bother with it at all. i did replace the fuse once.

I have a Ucaller 140 as well and find it fine but the Lightforce 140 is genuinely streets ahead.
If you can stretch to the Lightforce thats the way I'd go.
BTW a connector will cost about €5 in a motor factors and you should be able to get a bag and strap for the battery for €10- €15.

Guys how do you rate the Clulite against the lightforce 170, ita a CB2 model I have. Cheers

decoyer

Iwould give the Clulite a 10 out of 10 used the same one for 8yrs now same bulb and still going strong keeps a nice tight beam and give a good distance
i use the LA9 double bulb

have lf 170 and 240 plus 2 clulite,s, and endless hand held lamps none would compare with the lightforce. for any pleasure you need a 18 to 20ah battery, as others have said your only throwing money away buying cheap lamps, i have lots of balls of dirt.

Lightforce all the way i have a few models of them and they are the job it would be worth paying a few bob extra!!It will pay off in the long run.!You might pick one up second hand!
