    Advice on hunting lamp modification please

    Thanks for all your help. Lamp finally finished with the help of some friends for wiring and making a nylon fitment to secure the lamp to the handle. Works using a 12v 64440 bulb and 18v battery. Decent spot at 100 yards. Brighter than the old setup and easier to use! [/URL][/IMG]

    Thanks for your help. I looked at the link. Very good info. Will be ordering 64458 as soon as i find some decent prices. The only downside will be the runtime of the battery with high amps but i can deal with that. And i will definately keep the trigger to use on lower voltage to start with...

    Thanks for thst. Lifespan is only an issue if the bulbs are expensive. Do you have an estimated lifespan on your suggested bulb with my setup? Best place to buy? I read somewhere that a fully charged 18v li-ion battery is actually more like 22v until it used some power. Any idea if this is...

    Was wondering if anyone knows if led would be any good. Trying to avoid paying 18 quid just to maybe blow the 17v philips bulb. Or maybe even a 24v halogen bulb if its rated as higher watts?

    Update on progress. Dismantled drill, cut wires from motor. Just pushed wires into lamp connections for test. Connected battery, turned lamp on and pulled trigger. Lamp worked but blew bulb as soon as i pulled trigger all way in. Any thoughts or suggestions ?
