    A Spotlight Search. Help!

    The Olight or similar may be better. When someone says to me they want a gun light, to me it means it needs to be capable of being mounted onto the weapon!!!!! It sounds like the OP's mate is a solo hunter so the ability to hold or mount is good. The lantern type above is OK to seek but then...

    GoingGear.com - Niwalker MM15MB 6800 Lumen 4x18650 2xCREE XHP70 LED

    Marshall, how does this compare to the MTQ2. I have the Vostro FA-02 and I looked at the 2 vids for this and the Minimax MM15 with the MTQ2 LED's. When you zoomed in on the decking and chairs, the FA02 seemed to considerably outshine the MM15??? I noticed the MM15's button was on red so maybe...

    Tape Switch Dimmer 0 - 100% - What Options

    Indeed - my response crossed with your so I have kind of answered this question already. The NM800 by Dereelight is a great bit of kit but by the time it hits the UK shores and the distributor (who has arranged exclusive rights to distribute) it becomes a silly expensive light if you go for the...

    Tape Switch Dimmer 0 - 100% - What Options

    That's why I asked if anyone knew if the business bits were in the tail cap or the driver or if the two had to be compatible. A friend has one of the Olight tapes and he tried it on a few of his lights. It seemed to work on some and not others. I want to know why that is so!!!!!! As I am into...

    Tape Switch Dimmer 0 - 100% - What Options

    I already have a Jetbeam RRT-1 Raptor that has the magnetic control ring but when it is gun mounted, it is difficult to reach and one has to break position to reach it which is rather self defeating. http://www.ledfiretorches.co.uk/olight-tactical-3-key-remote-switch-dimmable.html This is the...

    Magnetic Control Ring Popularity

    control rings are all well and good but not when on a rifle :-( Having to break position to adjust is PITA. Control rings are OK if you are hand holding and even then my RRT-1 can be fussy as the ring is very "relaxed" and the indentations are not positive enough so you touch it and it rotates...

    Tape Switch Dimmer 0 - 100% - What Options

    Being a hunter, the biggest gap in the market as far as I am concerned is the severe lack of tape switch controlled dimmers. Being able to have the light on a low setting to sweep for retinal eye bounce and then to gently ramp up to ID and check backstop is kind of a useful feature. The only...

    P3D modern version

    My EDC was a little Fenix P3 D which sadly got pinched or lost in the field whilst hunting...... So looking for a light of similar dims that will blow it away. This needs to have floid with even illumination but alo not be too slouchy on the range. It needs variable outputs and max lumens...

    EDC pocket LED.......pick of the bunch

    Lost my Fenix P3D which is a light I really liked and has been a faithful friend and reliable. I am looking for a replacement but I need something well built and can take the knocks daily life threw at the P3D. I am looking for: Very high output Momentary on Floody and even prefer recargables...

    Solarforce Masterpeice Pro

    I am looking at this light as a dedicated rifle mounted thrower. Not much money and built well to take life in the field. It is not a mission life or death deal - only hunting but I dont like rubbish and I want reliability (as far as the budget will reasonably allow) It will be used on powder...

    Lightest throwy weapon mountable light?

    The OP wants to hunt with it and he is using a .308 calibre. The Deft has a hot spot and nothing else so it is perhaps inadvisable to use solely as the weapon light as it has no spill so you cant see something that is in the danger zone. I have an original DEFT and whilst I use it for shooting...

    Two quick questions about setting up a weapon mount.

    I have R2s in all my throwers. smaller light source combined with deep large diameter reflector = tight beamed thrower. I have XM-Ls and they are more floody but have decent throw depending on the light it is in. Baddest behaved boy is Thrunites V3 which has throw and flood a plenty but is a...

    Mounting LED flashlight on snowblower

    Avoiding your lights digging into the snow is easy to solve.............just get a snow blower and you can clear a low level path for the lights to get close to the ground.........................or....................maybe i have missed something :-)

    LED flashlight for hunting

    I am an archer too though bow hunting is (yeah you guessed it ) illegal in the UK. However, I would suggest you could potentially rig up a tape switch so you can make the light come on by an initial grip of the riser and then relax you rfingers as the draw weight takes over and maintains...
