Switch is too bulky
I have the Logun Gun Lamp teamed with my Walther 3-9x40 IR scope, and it is a lethal combination. These are on my BSA Ultra and I cannot fault this setup.
The lamp itself is fantastically small and light. It comes with a great light choke that turns the beam from spot to flood, and if you get the filter pack you will not be disappointed!
The effective light range of this lamp is 50 yards, which is more than enough for most air rifles, unless you are FAC, as most rifles are only effective to this range themsleves.
With the red filter attached I got 14 rabbits in one hour starting at 18:00 one night. The filter pack also comes with a green, a blue and an orange filter for different quarries. I have only used the red one as yet and I am chuffed to bits with it. Once you have confirmed the kill, you can flip up the filter to leave white light to help locate the kill.
All in all, this is a great lamp. If you use an FAC rifle or a rimfire, this lamp is probably not the thing for you, as mentioned above. But, if you can see the eyes, even if you cannot see the rest of the target, the eyes have it (so to speak).
As mentioned in other reviews, it is a tad expensive, but second hand units are available. I purchased mine for £50, with the filter kit, and in perfect condition. Keep your eyes open and these things are there for the asking.
The only bad point is the switch that turns the light on and off. I personally feel it would have been better if it was a pressure switch that you need to keep pressed to keep the light on. What this comes with is a block about 1x0.5x0.5 inches in size with a huge great button. This I have stuck with the velcro supplied to the stock of my rifle. I would have prefered a switch that could be placed under the barrel on the woodwork, but that is just me.
If you need a lamp for rabbits, and other close work, then this is the one for you.
