Lightforce Scope Mounted Lamps

[Offroad Gary]

lightforce lamp is 100w therfore running at 8.3A @ 12v, wont give you much time on a standard 7 Ah battery (clusons only 50w therefore 4.15A).

i have made similar but with the jack plugs that cluson use which are a bit more reliable than cigarette lighters, just leave it plugged in your truck lighter and its always ready to go.

better off getting a 17Ah battery from the burgular alarm man (thats what they put in them these days, for level one police response). bit bigger/heavier but you dont want to run out of juice. or you could also parallell up a few 7Ah ones.

lightforce filters

hi,just a little tip for all lightforce 170 users ,too stop the light on your filters reflecting back ,simply place your filter face down and place a 2.5 L paint tin inside the filter ,it should fit .then simply spray the 3 prongs and the edge on both sides with black car paint let it dry and spray again.job done happy hunting

for that price definately no battery. i have a lightforce 170 which is a great handheld lamp but i'm not sure how good it would be scope mounted, its pretty big! i have red filter which is probably better for bunnies than charlie (amber allows beam to shine further, and my lamp man has one of them, so we have best of both worlds.) i also have a cluson, which is a great little lamp when using no filter, but when you add filter it cuts it right down. i bought cluson scope adaptor but had to send it back as it wouldnt fit with my scope with warne rings on, the screws are on the top they got in the way. another thing with the lightforce filters is you need to tape the edges up so no light shines back and screws with your night vision. i,ve made an adaptor to plug the lf 170 into the cluson battery pack but the batterys not really up to the job of a 100w lamp, its only 7.2ah.

hope that helps. if your near west berks your more than welcome to come and try them out.

I am going to order either a 140 or a 170, (They retail anywhere from £55to £75 depending on what you order) that's not the problem, what I want to know is-

Do they come complete with a charger and battery pack OR are these an additional order on top of the Lamp?

Don't just want to order it then realise that I need to order the Battery and Charger.


I will be ordering online so I can't speak to a sales Rep to ask.

Cheers in advance.

i would go along with off road gary.

a smaller lamp will be easy to handle and the batteries needed will be lighter and more compact, 100 watt lamp will eat a small battery for lunch and you will be stumped for lamping,

i had a LED cluson a while back and it was fine for lamping out to say 80 to 100 yards max on bunnies and that was about it, if you intend go reach further then a back pack and a 140 may be an option, i just hope you know that its flipin hard work, (i use a truck now )
