Thread: Spotlights for rabbits

Hi folks. I've been spotlighting rabbits with my LED Lenser P7.2 -- not bad at 320 lm but I want something brighter. What's a good/baseline luminosity for rabbits? Looking at this Spotlight LED | Powerful LED Spotlight – PSL

Maxtoch.

Maxtoch,the led Spotlight you linked only has a max lumen output of 650.

My maxtoch is great no doubt but it pisses me off to no end not being able to run it off the bike. We always find our selfs using the old spotlight. Rather have a bit less light and go all night with out fucking around with batterys

My Maxtoch runs well over an hour per set of batts. I find that the less than a minute it takes to change batts is no hassle at all

Wires are so last century.

A spare set of batteries (or two) will have you set for over 4 -6 hours and only a minute to change.

Anyone bought one of these guys?
I've had mixed success with Alibaba, some good, some junk, some last a week.
Looks good how long will it work?

Spare batteries are sooooo old. Fuck that. Then when you forget to take the spares your screwed. Then needing a recharging bank to do the recharge? I do know someone that does this. Are you mad?
Climb on bike, turn key, flick switch and go. Sure beats now where are all the batteries? Did I charge them?
Weight of torch equals way more than it needs to be.

Wirehunt:- But what happens when your target animal moves to an area that you can't get your bike and cable spot light into.
That where the Maxtoch shines !!!

Re batt change on Maxtoch. Its easy to do in the dark cause the batts have an indent on the +ve end. You can do it with your eyes close.
Maxtoch is the way to go!!!!!!

I still rather have a wire. Nothing you say will change that. I've spent enough time spotlighting to know what I like.

It cant be that hard to make it work off a wire, surely. Maxtoch would be an awesome light with a cord that plugs into the bike/truck. Its bloody good and I love mine but we always end up just using the old spotlight

I've found that with several battery tools/gadgets I have, at least half the price lies in the battery, which always have a very finite life. My Snap-on impact gun has two batteries, but one is on the piss at the moment, and the Snap-On man says they are an 'obsolete' battery now (2 years old FFS, getting rapidly sick of their bullshit lifetime warranty which means jack shit, for top dollar)... Sooo I can wait for the other one to die and ''upgrade to the new one'' for the low low price of $1300 or just revert back to my $300 Ingersol-Rand pneumatic gun instead and get a cheap Makita one for in the car. Why the hell the arsehole thinks I'm just going to keep throwing money at him while they keep changing the shape of their proprietary batteries all the time I don't know. Shaft me once, I ain't playing a second hand..

Our old 12v halogen corded spotlight is still cranking years and years later, occasionally a bulb goes but I have a couple spare and I pick them from Repco for under $5 each trade price.. There's nothing wrong with it.

Sorry for the thread hijack but in a similar vein. Does anyone know if these head torches are any good?
