Main question is there anything out there that will compair with a lf striker 170 with a Amber filter? Need to positively be able to I'd fox and backstop 200-250 yds!

richard griffith Posted February 27, 2013 Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Hi Skany-a nightmaster 800 should be able to match the 170.regards Richard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

simonl Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 If you want the very best, get a DEFT-X from OMGLumens. I've got 2 of the older Defts and they are very impressive aspheric lights. I have no doubt that the Deft-x will be staggering & would easily outshine a 170, probably a 240 too. The focus is phenominal & it uses the latest/brightest Cree LED. Bumf from the website says:- "The new DEFT-X is performing at an astonishing 900Kcd!!! This represents a new world record for LED based flashlights.The DEFT-X has a whopping 260% more intense beam than the closest competitor*(O-lightSR95SUT). That means you would have to buy almost four of the best the rest of the world has to offer just to equal one DEFT-X. And the DEFT-X does this while weighing a fraction as much as that light and is also much smaller in every dimension" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaz6br Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Sniper system torch, about 5 inches long, light aswell comes with rechargeable battery and charger can be used as hand held or mounts on scope in seconds. Hand held botton unscrews and you can screw a touch sensitive botton on, with lead that sticks to side of your gun. Also get red and orange filters for it. Battery lasts 8 hours life time guarantee made in Uk bout 40 mins from my house. Longest fox to date with mine 252 yards and I could see it real clear no problems at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard griffith Posted March 18, 2013 Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 Hi skany-missed your question.not tried an amber version but the red led I have would probably equal a 170with a filter.because the led is coloured it does not diminish the beam like a plastic filter.its good enough for a clear identification and shot at a fox at 200 yards maybe a little more.not sure of the claim at 800 yards to spot though.regards richard.

skany Posted March 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2013 thanks for ur replies guys ive just got a TN31 thrunite and so far im impressed the beams a lot broader than the NM800 but its bloody bright & still goes a long way! ive only tried it outside the house with a lot of light pollution but it looks like it will be a great spoter! i shall get around to trying it next to my LF170 at some point! ive got some filters coming to try! Ive tried shining it thru my amber filter from the lightforce & it still goes well!(almost 1400lmns) ive bought some deben tracer filters to hack about & cobble something toghether cheers Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 just for anyone who may not know led's don't give their best filtered thats why you get the red etc modules for the night master etc. not tried the coloured leds in my nm800 yet but I'm impressed with the white and IR ones so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
