    No change in point of impact when arrached to barrel

    I have started to clip the unit to the underside of the barrel. This stops the glare off the moderator & I can turn the mag up to x 12 now. The unit is so light that it does not affect the POI when attached directly to the barrel.

    LED`s

    Hi all, sounds a good piece of kit. An it should be for that money.
    Just an opinion on Led`s , i have had a 10x Led torch after a year half of them were not working, Ok i did not pay much for the torch(£20) but that Deben lamp has only got 3 in it. The lamp scope clip looks a bit flimsy, but if they are cheap to replace i dont see that as a problem.

    That is because you have bought complete shit mate. Any decent quality LED will have a 50,000 hour burn time.

    I would make a guess that your £20 went on some dodgy crap from the Bay or from Deal Extreme which is just as bad IMHO.

    I buy decent kit and only one of my lights failed - the only one he made that had an LED failure BTW - and he replaced the LED without question.

    By cheap buy twice - or 10 in your case.

    Still going strong

    I havehad the lamp for a couple of years now. For over a hundred foxes it is the last thing they have seen. I only have to charge the battery once every 3 months.. It works best for me clipped under the barrel as it is so light that it is not effected by the recoil and does not effect the point of impact of the bullet. I would recommend taping the connections together at night as they pull apart too easily. I WOULD NEVER GO BACK TO LEAD ACID/ FILAMENT BULBS. IT WOULD BE LIKE GOING BACK TO USING BLANKETS INSTEAD OF DUVETS.

    Thumbs up

    Oi - Tick Mop!

    You use Duvets?

    Nice review and good effort on the follow-up. This sort of review actually is worth-while as opposed to the
    rubbish spouted in the media.

    Interesting read !
    I'm looking for something to use on my rimfire and this may be it.
    Is the beam adjustable, ie, can you widen or narrow it ? I note you mentioned earlier in the thread that you experianced reflection off the rear of the moderator ? I have had the same problem on previous lamps.
