Hi Adam

we bought one about 3-4 years ago.............good work lamp, as it throws quite a wide beam.............but for lamping, its ok for say, .22 or hmr but not a patch on the LF170

hence ours sat in its box after only being used half a dozen times........the remote control is good tho :thumbup:

cheers jock

:lol: :lol: :lol:

well it was sat in its box :oops: ...............till I had this idea about building a remote spotter.............. :think:


http://nightvisionforumuk.com/viewtopic ... r&start=10

needs a bit of improvement tho. fine when using in a static position........but a bit top heavy over rough ground :thumbdown:

wanted to keep the white light, but am going to remove the box off the top and fix the camera and a single 66lens in its place.................

well something like that :lol:
