need help with which roof mounted spotlight to buy

lightforce hands down.

I am just modifying the 2 i have here to make them more low profile as we use them on multiples of vehicles.(both the mounts are the scope mounted ones modded to fit to the T bar as they are better built than the handheld ones)

i have also removed the cable (and replaced it with a more supple cable) as its very stiff and can cause problems if you're a heavy user.

both are 170's with the sucker roof/T bars and the other is a handheld 140 also cable removed and modded for sweeping the area faster.

other than that they are by far the best out there bar...........................none IMO:
 
I got the light force and had a problem with it shorting out inside the handle, had it rewired with a better cable it is now faultless, no leaks

cheer for the replies so far.

are tracer lights any good? also are there any LED lights that people use.
 
I've used a handheld tracer 170 and they're OK, not quite as solid feeling as the LF though. I've got a LF170 in the roof of my truck and I love it, shootable out to 300 with an amber filter on a good night!
 
Has to be Lightforce nothing comes close, remember if inside the cab
check direction of roof support brace ! (drop headcloth ) you may have to
offset the hole on one side a little.

had "the best roof lamp on the market" so they said. and it was better than that link above.

about as welcome as a cordite fart in a sleeping bag and about as controllable as a 2 year old in a Porsche

So you don't want to buy my roof suction cup mounted, cable remote control lamp then Bob :p

no no no and no.

i had the top of the range rota light with a square lamp and all the filters, the tracking was a fast as you like but trying to follow a moving target was a nightmare. so in all honesty it was not that good at all.

went down a different route. I bought a night master gun mounted lamp. it is awesome :)

Let me guess, your crap with radio control planes as well :p

To be fair this works fine, no problem with scanning a field or following a target.
I just don't use it anymore as I have a NV monocular now.

Used a Hella roof mounted lamp for last eighteen years , swapped from truck to truck well made and reliable ( stainless and brass construction ) . Not cheap to buy though .
 
When you use a Hella roof light you might as well hold a candle in front of you. Lightforce is the way to go if you want plenty light to see with
