Thread: Show us your lights

Sweet thats who this second one is through.

And after just buying LED Lensor P7 to try to get something better than the KSN Iv been disappointed so I also have one on the way. I also hope its better than the P17
that is not as flash as I was told it would be. Good thing I buy these direct from importer as we sell a few bits of their gear so they were not retail as I d be really peed off.
All the above relegated to top of the fridge or glovebox in case needed. Will re post upon arrival of Maxtoch. Thanks to all who provided info and their thoughts and bugger
you were three weeks to late ha ha ..

Next question will be can you use these batteries in them ? Brand new 18650 Batteries 4000 MAH 3.7V- Blackgold | Trade Me

Cheers Happy

Don't bother with those batteries Happy, the 3000mAH batteries have a better charge. I normally get them in lots of five and get the discount.

gadget have you tried the 3100 panisonics? I read they are good but some guys having a problem with the length?

Well I seem to have real problems with head lamps, at any one time I probably own ten.
I know a h5 didn't come back from fiordland, a h7 made it back but next week up Rotoroa I came back with one but it wasnt mine, now I cant even find that, just got another.
Various energizer ones lying round that are fine for camp but dont have the reach for finding tracks in the dark.

Me, I just use a Mag lite for my security work. The biggest ,heaviest bugga I can find. At the end, Officer! I only hit him with my torch.

I haven't but mudgripz has. He said he go no runtime improvement. Yes they are longer and often requires some work to the torch to get them in.

I carried this in my security patrol car while working... sits in a nice bracket so doesn't roll around ,plugs into cig lighter keeping it charged ..Also bought a 1000 lumen led upgrade kit for it ....also good for BLINDING people

I also have a couple P7's (which I think are pretty crap) ,a couple of Chinese knock offs from deal extreme that prob put out as much light as the P7,but a third of the price ,a M1 I think its called from NZ civil defence M1 CREE Tactical Flash Light - Torches - Light - Radios - All Products - Survive it Ltd which I find is good for just general use...the headlamp KICKS ASS im not sure of model but is a Petzl brand


P.S If anyone in chch wants try the dedoming thingy with one of my P7's there welcome

I have this spotlight as well,is H.I.D and kicks ass also but chews the batteries something chronic ... my mrs thinks its overkill,and every time I bring it out ,the she says "You off hunting Elephants again?" LOL

Anybody mounted that Maxtoch on there rifle , not to heavy or bulky? Im looking for something to mount on my rifle, the pressure switches look good on some models
The .22 wont be a problem but i would like 200m or there abouts for the centre fire

I been using this on .22 and .243 and it works well. Down side is having it low mounted there is some flare coming off the centerfire suppressor. Im sorting a mount that fits under the bipod,gave it a run last night, so far so good. That dedomed sn was very shootable at 275yds last night.

Thanks sneeze , thats plenty of distance, im struggling to hold the spotty out with one arm and lay my rifle over it at the same time

Things progress dont they, i remember when the lads did a possum shoot years back it took 4 of us, 2 had a nail box with car battery and a rope handle each, one had the spotty and the other was shooting

Yes my days of big bulky spotlights and poor run times from lead acid batteries are long gone thankfully.
