Good Points: Good illumination out to 80 yds
light
easy to attach
simple to use dimmer
clears a X50 scope
holds well on the scope.
has a filter (seperate)

Bad Points: Hurts if you look into it. (yes i know thats a silly one)
plastic bracket (i think you can get a metal one)
okay illumination out to around 100yds but not very clear through a scope)

no good for anything over the 12ftlbs mark
make a whiring sound.
only noticeable with your ear next to it though so it wont give you away ;)

General comments: This is good for air rifle, i use it in sheds to shoot feral pigeons or rats. will try it on rabbits this summer.
This is good for close range work at it has a dimmer and is powerfull enough to use as a normal torch to look for your quary.
It has enough battery to get you through a lamping sesh but dont use it as a dedicated torch as the point of it is to light up your quary so you can shoot it. take a spare flash light, you should use that for walking around anyway. plus if you use the gun lamp as a torch you are poiting the gun at something.
Right well, through the scope, it illuminates well out to 80 yrds and you can see clearly. at 100 yds you can see outlines and a white eye.
Thats enough to tell the difference between a rabbit and a fox
(also goos luck shooting something at 100 yds with a 12ftlbs air rifle with a lamp)
well if you have a 12ftlbs rifle and need a lamp with a dimmer and a filter. here you go :)
