    Need Modded Work? 2013 ;-) (Taking Orders Again)

    Hi Not sure how all this works but have just sent you an email asking for suggestions for a maximum throw, minimum spill light for use as a spotting light on a sailboat currently in Thailand. Jacobus

    spotting light for sailboat at sea

    Thanks for that suggestion. I will write Vinh and see what he can suggest. I have previously written both Saabluster and Vinh but have not had a reply. I will try again. The things that foul our props at night are usually floating lines connected to bouys. There is normally a stick with some...

    spotting light for sailboat at sea

    We have both stabilised 10x binos (funjinon) and night vision binos. These might assist of course particularly with a bow mounted light but I have gotten away from that a bit since the Deft X is not available to me. Still searching for what might be closest to it i.e.max throw with min spill...

    spotting light for sailboat at sea

    Thanks for the response! Power is not much of a concern as we are amply supplied with solar (600watt and wind 400) plus the motor of course with no wind but less so for long passages. More than 800amphr battery capacity helps as do led nav lights, AIS, Tablets for navigation and Broadband...

    spotting light for sailboat at sea

    hi everyone again I am once again back on the boat now in Thailand and preparing the boat for an Indian Ocean crossing to Africa. I am still intending to buy a pure thrower if that is the right jargon but have given up on the Deft X as delivery seems to be a major problem and I am now out of...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Hi Beastflashlight That is a fine suggestion. I have contacted the OMG website so should get some feedback soon. The more I read this forum the ,more enthusiastic I get though. I can feel addiction coming on. Perhaps like so many I should order both :-) . Trouble is once I leave Malaysia...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Thanks jmpaul320 for that suggestion. Being new to the forum I am not familiar with that mod and only know about Vinh because of the excitement around the K40VN54 on the forum. I will do a search for that mod. Neither do I know how to contact Vinh directly. Can you enlighten me on that? Zeiler

    Please Recommend Spotlight(s) for Sailboat

    Rednek I'm wondering why you did not also suggest the vinh K40VN54? It seems to have great throw which is the most important criteria for this application IMHO. I am also on the lookout for a spot flashlight for use on a circumnavigating sailboat currently in Malaysia. I would like minimum spill...

    DEFT-X OMG Strikes Back!!!

    Hi All I'm new member and have more or less decided on the Deft x for use on a circumnavigating sailboat. After coming to this decision I visited this Deft X part of the forum and found to my dismay that delivery times may be much longer than the 4/6 weeks quoted on the OMG site. As we will be...

    spotting light for sailboat at sea

    My apologies for my late reply to the many good observations posted. Unfortunately due to a family illness we are in the process of returning to Canada and have been unable to continue our search for a suitable light. Not being well versed in forums should I start a new thread when time allows...

    spotting light for sailboat at sea

    I am new to this incredible forum and have spent numerous hours browsing. I had no idea what an enormous change has come over the world of flashlights and had never heard the word flashaholic and now i am in danger of becoming one! My wish is to spot obstructions in front of a sailboat at sea...
