AT-GOLD Night Setup :)

[Nugget]

Here is my night config. I'm using an LED Lenser P5 torch with a rubber rifle/torch mount I purchased online from the UK.

All up it added just over 100gm to the detector which is hardly noticeable and the P5 pumps out some serious light for its size.

I also use an LED headlamp.

 

[Outback Jack]

That's a great idea. I've never been out at night, I don't want to risk falling down and old shaft.

 

[Nugget]

Welcome mate, I only use it for the beach at this stage.

 

[Aussie Detecting]

Looks like you're going shooting

 

[Nugget]

That's the look I was going for haha.

 

[wooster]

good looking set up there nugget did you get both the items off ebay

 

[Nugget]

I purchased the mount from an online store (in the UK) and the torch from eBay. The torch seller is a registered LED Lenser distributer.

Just a tip....
When looking for torches, cap lamps (just about any lighting) etc nowadays, look for led lighting using 'CREE' leds...
They are amazing!
The first series I imported many years ago cost me about $100 usd, now, as technology left these for dead, they can be got for a $ out of China!

 

[AU Fever]

I'll second the CREE leds Gold miner. I got one out of China that is sooo powerful I dare not look in the lens when it's on for fear of blinding myself. It's got an adjustable beam width - from spot to flood light and mine comes with a re-chargeable Lithium Ion battery or 3 AAA batteries.

Nugget, any chance you could post a link to that online store in the UK for the mount?

Will do John, I'm just about to hit the hay but I'll track down the URL tomorrow and post it up.

Nice I like it.

Nice set up nugget. Looks pretty sweet. How does your cap lamp go with reading the display? It's the only down side to the AT-Gold is that the screen isn't back lit.

Looks really neat.This is the sort of thing I'm looking for as I usually get up quite early,jump in the car and am on the beach before sunrise.Likewise at the end of the day after everybody has left the beach and the sun has gone down.I had a look on-line and there are a couple of similar mounts available in Australia - try LED Torch Shop or Elite Outdoor Gear.

 

[BigSam]

Definatly must be Cree LEDs, I have a 3W Cree led cap lamp that I use for work underground, crisp white light!

G'day

these are the next generation of tactical torches after the ledlensers and pump out more than twice the lumens.

[Sa_bogan]

they look very nice - only thing is there run time is only 1.5 hours - i have the lenser P7 and it will run for 64 hours on high and 128 on low - still have a beam up to 240 metres and water/shock resistant up to a few metres
