As per title, I'm looking at getting a handheld spotlight for bunny/hare shooting. Needs to easily light up the paddocks out to 100m. Ideally something that I can walk around a paddock with and run off a motorbike battery in a backpack or something.
What's the best option for these? Budget is probably around $100. I know nothing about spotlights :P
Thanks in advance.
Have you considered one of the powerful focusable torches that you can get nowadays Josh? I have one that I mount on top of my scope with a simple rubberised mount and the advantage for me is that it is hands free and not nearly as cumbersome as my previous spot light.
Yep for 100y a torch will do that no worrys.
Gadgetman will be along soon.

Maxtoch. I see you are in Dunners. PM me if you want a demo.
Sorry to hijack, but what are some examples of these focus-able torches? Would they be suitable for phalangers as well?
Read this thread bud ;)

I have the earlier torch and it is bloody amazing!!
Haven't had the chance to even de-dome my 1 either. @gadgetman will know all the specs of them and the best places to get them from.
We used 30w sealed beam for Rabbits, Possum, Hares etc Ran off a 12v bike battery ,draw was around 1.5 a/h .The 14 a/h battery would give about 9hrs on a full charge .They seemed to hold well with the 30w & out past 100m no problem,nice condensed spot.
Probably get 1 from the local Auto electrician for $30 approx.Don't place them face down on the ute seat ,they get very hot .
I have the LED Lenser but write ups on this forum tend to favour the MaxtochQuote:

Cheers guys, I'm pretty sold on the M24S Sniper (once I got over the fact that it had "sniper" in the name :D). They sounds like a damn good torch.
Just back from a night using them to hunt wallabies. Way outstripped the 12V plug in spotlights. Easy to see and shoot them out to 300m or more; generally run out of terrain before running out of light.
Definitely sounds like the way to go. I see from the other thread that you can de-dome these - when I get it do you reckon I could send it your way with some cash to get this done? :)Quote:

Make sure you only buy from EST GROUP Co., Ltd
I got a dolphin and it floats.:D
Can de-dome for you, no problem at all.Quote:
