Thread: All things Maxtoch..

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

lol mate they are ALL good things.

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!

havent used the maxtorch for it.... but that statement makes me think of floundering with a spear and light trying to keep everything dry

.223nut...we used to drag a rectangular 200ish liter drum around with us tied to waist with a string....car battery sat in it floating along behind us...good place to put speared flounder too.... also remember taking tractor battery around paddocks in a wheel barrow!!!!

priceless....! Wheelbarrow!!

tractor batteries are plurry heavy........

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.

I remember that. We're just grateful you didn't send a photo of a burnt bumcrack too..

How can we pre-order the LR headlamp?

You already have.. I've reserved one for you and be in touch on arrival. You were interested in an XPro too I think?? They've just come in..

Cheers Mike

Just got the M1 Archer yesterday off Mike what a brilliant light

Hi order for head lamp please
