coat Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hey guys im after some advise for a new light. Ive searched a heap of post about the gun mounted light. Now what im after is a general torch and also i want to be able to mount it on my mountain bike for night rides. Ive seen people are happy with the cree and ultra fire. he price looks good too. Now what in after is a bit of a spread not just a beam. So what model should i go for. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklinsnapper Posted June 3, 2012 Report Share Posted June 3, 2012 Tactical torches from www.wolfeyes.com.au these guys have a broad range of torches for all sorts of uses. I have the Sniper II and I'm very happy with it for use on my 22. Will be buying the Sea Lion Hunter for centrefire rifle use in the near future. Here's what it looks like- Other members are using Solarforce set ups with all sorts of bulb/reflector configurations. Perhaps someone who uses these can provide some advice on them. I know fenring and his fox shooting mate and use Solarforce to good effect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ant762 Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 (edited) I've got the wolf eyes Night Hunter it's excellent,not cheap but very good quality. It has adjustable beam and would easily light up enough for night rides on your mtb. Edited June 6, 2012 by ant762 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
franklinsnapper Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Just took delivery of the WolfEyes Sea Lion Hunter. Had a play with it out the front of the house when it got dark. Very impressive bit of kit. This new torch will be set up on my .204 and the smaller torch I already had (WolfEyes Sniper 260 with a 350 lumen led bulb) will sit on the .22 or the .17HMR. You get two led bulbs with the Sea Lion Hunter- one long distance spot for out to 300m (so they say in the blurb that came with it) and another with a spread beam that reaches out to 150m. Just have to wait for the floods to subside and I'll be out there having a crack. I have a spot where the floods create little islands and the foxes get stranded on them and have no where to go. Last time we had a flood of a similar level we sorted out quite a few that just sat there, all wet and bedraggled waiting to be shot. Might have to wear waders to retrieve them for scalping though.

fangster Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 EDI-T, they also sell the handlebar mounts to suit their lights (1" dia) for your MTB. I use one with their 300 lumen light. They also sell head mounts for them cheap. This week I received an order and awesomely it came next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fenring Posted June 7, 2012 Report Share Posted June 7, 2012 Thanks guys. Ill have a look at them. Anyone got any advice on some of the cheaper ones that are worth a look also. A couple of these would go alright mate. I have ridden the mtb with one on the bar and one on the helmet. About three hours runtime. Good sized hotspot but a good spill too. http://www.dealextreme.com/p/ultrafire-wf-501b-cree-xpe-wcr5-320-lumen-led-flashlight-with-strap-1-18650-2-16340-35075?item=2 You need the 18650 batteries and charger. There are a variety of bike mounts on Dealextreme also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fireman_DJ Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Fenix lights are also pretty good and they have a big range of accessories including bike mounts. Reasonable prices compared to led lenser products. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
