Bulb For Logun Lamp

[dave_hdy]

HI, I BOUGHT A LOGUN LAMP SECOND HAND OFF THE OTHER FORUM, ABOUT THREE OR FOUR MONTHS AGO. AND NEVER GOT CHANCE TO USE IT BECAUSE OF A BROKEN ARM. ANYWAY I HAD ARRANGED TO GO RATTING LAST MONDAY WITH CRAIG.25 (A MEBER OFF HEAR). I FULLY CHARGED THE BATTERY GOT TO THE SHOOT AND IT WAS ALREADY DARK GOT THE LAMP OUT, WAS GOING TO ZERO MY SCOPE SWITCHED THE LAMP ON AND IT WAS VERY DULL THE BEAM WOULD NOT REACH THE END OF THE BARREL AND ABOUT 30 SECS LATER WENT OFF, CHECKED THE FUSE OK. SO I WAS P****D OFF . CRAIG HAD NV SO WALKED ROUND WITH HIM HAD AGO OF HIS GUN. THEN I HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR A BULB **** 12 SQUID PLUS P+P THEY MUST BE HAVING A LAUGH. I WENT IN TO DURHAM TODAY WAS HAVING A WALK AROUND THE INDOOR MARKET AND ASKED AT A ELECTRICAL STALL FOR A BULB I WAS AFTER A 4.8V 10 WATT BUT HE SAID HE ONLY HAD A 6V 10 WATT AND IT MIGHT BE A BIT DULL BECAUSE THEY NORMALLY PUT A LOWER VOLTAGE BULB IN TO MAKE IT A BIT BRIGHTER. ONLY 1.99 SO I BOUGHT IT AND IT IS VERY BRIGHT LIGHTS UP THE FULL BACK GARDEN.
ANYWAY SUPPOSED TO BE GOING RATTING AGAIN ON SUNDAY TO TRY IT OUT PROPERLY.

check the beam angle mate....you need 8 degrees...most other bulbs are 25 plus so spread of light is wide and not narrow like you need

Dave,

The lamp is a 6v lamp. The battery for the logun lamp is 6v, 4,6Ah.
I would go to Maplins and get a new lamp, remembering the 8 degree beam angle.

I just got a new battery from Maplins for my Logun ang got a 12Ah one to
give me some extended lamp useage. got it for £11.99!

hi, the bulb is 18 degrees i will give it a try tomorrow night but next time im near maplins i will call in and get another one. just had another looked at the old bulb and its got a lot bigger angle possibly 25 degrees possibly part of the reason the beem didnt reach the end of the barrel.
anyway thanks for all the info.
cheers
