Hello fellow spotlighters,
I hate to contradict the lightforce fans but they are relatively
expensive, compared to basic cigarette lighter spoltights which you can
buy from an auto parts store and a sealed battery which you can get
pretty cheaply from Dick Smith or Tandy. On strenght of spottie, I've
found 50 watts to be sufficient in most cases and overkill in others,
hence the dimmer switch that I mention below. On reliability, I've had a
lightforce spotlight cease working after a couple of years whereas I've
got cheap ones that have been working for about 10 yrs.
Having said that the Lightforce dimmer switch that you can have set up
on a your spotlight to raise and lower the strength of your spotlight is
brilliant for getting maximum battery life. It depends on whether money
is an issue.
Cheers
Mick

Hello everyone,
I hope there may be someone out there who might be able to assist me.
Having for years now just used a Dolphin torch for spotlighting and,
during that time wasting countless nightbird opportunities, I thought
it well beyond time to update. I want to begin hunting in earnest and
use the best tools possible. So, what I require is a good spotlight;
one that can be run from the vehicle -cigarette lighter- and,
of-course, one that is also portable, without having to also lug
around a battery if possible. I,m sure you know the type I mean. Those
owls are just waiting to be discovered. I thankyou for any assistance
in advance.
Kind Regards,
Michael Wood
