    Milky - you'll see where the old school foglights from your Valiant or Cortina sat on the Kelvin scale above - maybe 3500- 4000k or so. Very yellow. Later halogen spotties 4000-4500?

    The reason you're seeing green in the M1 light also, especially after using your led lensers, is because you ARE seeing green. Actually seeing landscape tones/colours - that's proper CRI (colour rendition).

    This is a good thing

    Yep - I also remember the two cell torches, then three cell, Big Jims, Dolphins, car lights with motorbike batteries, big old halogen spotties etc.

    Thank God for modern LED tech
    Groan when you recall that era.LOL.

    Nothing like spotting rabbits and possums with a handheld, motorbike battery (unsealed so had to be kept upright) and about 2 metres of wires that got hooked up on everything!

    Big consignment just arrived so will be sending out heaps of lights in next two days.

    Maxtoch tell me LR headlamp in assembly right now - won't be far away - no detail yet. I will bring in a big big shipment of those because they will disappear like hotcakes. Will be a very popular hunter - dozens pre-ordered. Keen to get out with it again after lambing - a little gamechanger this one.

    Great feedback too on wee M1 Archer - seems to be lighting up the country very well. Still amazes me to get so much these days out of such a tiny light - like 145mm long and weighing 135gms!! I liked one guy's review - man of few words. Just wrote " WOW! "

    One cool little light...

    Nothing like sitting in a freezing drain trying to get battery acid out of your bum crack.
    Old school motorbike battery.
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
