    The maxtochs quickly replaced our handheld spotties 3 years or so ago when they came out. First reason was even the original maxi SN6X-2 had better beam than my halogen 100w spotlight, and second they are so much lighter at just 270gms (half a pound) for the new M24 - plus batteries. After using them alot weight is not an issue - where it was with the bigger spotlights. Maxtochs very light and pointy - no wires, no big batts, and the arm doesn't get tired after 2 hours. Could well be useful having a strap on handle but really handling not a problem. Just stick the lanyard over yr wrist and hold them how you wish. A dedomed Maxtoch M24 does all the jobs - spottie, rifle light etc.

    Gadget and I just put new dedomed U3 led into my Maxtoch 2X couple of nights back. Absolutely awesome now and tested out at 298,000 lux - or 1100 meters max range ANSI (down to equivalent of full moonlight on target). Up to some big HID spots now from an inexpensive handheld (440gms). By comparison new Led lenser twin head torch recently tested was 37,000 lux and cost about 3 times Maxtoch price.

    Gadget and I have a couple of lights cantab boys can borrow to check out - if we are not shooting that weekend....

    Just tried out the new batteries gadgetman sent me. Got 40 or so rabbits on the first set. Never had to change.

    I feel a old charger getting some bullets and petrol treatment tomorrow.

    Just steal the ball of wool from the kitten and tangle yourself up in that.
