Looking to buy a Hi Lumen torch

clivej · 20-02-2010 11:41PM #1

The son sold the lightforce 170 on me so I'm looking to buy something to fill it's place.

What's good in the high lumen output with a long range spot beam.
I heard good reports on the Nightsearcher torches, Anyone use these or got reviews on them??

check this out before you order something, I have had a look at these in action and they are impressive, €300 though. No visable beam, just he laser illumination where it strikes.

Hi clive i have a nightsearcher lamp i cant be sure at the minute but think the model is a 750. its a good light, very reliable doesnt give trouble with wires burning under heavy use like the lightforces and not bad on price too. having said that proformance would be a step down from a lightforce 170 and the spot is not adjustable and is a bit on the wide side but perfectly good for foxes out to 200 yards so IMHO a good practical lamp for the money

Thanks Hunter91 that's the sort of reply I'm looking for. I can't see your 750 torch model on the Nightsearcher website.

Looking at these so far. They all give out around the 600 Lumens and cost from £42-£60 and come with a stock thumb switch, scope mount and rechargable batteries.
I'm still trying to get to look at the Nightsearcher that my son bought, not sure of the model name yet.

i see now clive that my lamp may not be the type of lamp your looking for if your after a tactical torch.. my lamp is the ns 170(see pic) and its a handheld lamp with battery back but gun mounting kit is an optional extra if you wanted it but i can still recommend the build quality of the nightsearcher kit[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Brian/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG] [IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/Brian/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG]

that gets seriously hot, and the 15 min battery would be a pain, but its a serious light, on the plus you could have a scrambled eggs any time you want

And I dont know how many times ive been out lamping and left the lighter in the car.

I have a Fenix TK40 - it doesn't have a tight beam but I've used a few night this season lamping rabbits with the lurcher and it was fine - when the main lamp I have gave up.
Battery life is incredible - and it's tough out.
