Hi all.

I was going to put this on ebay but thought I'd offer it here first. I have a 240w 26v (24v to 28v) incandecent lamp I want to get rid off free to a good home (well plus P&P if required), it may be of interest to photographers as it produces a nice yellow light which is rare from modern LEDs or quartz halogens.

This would make a very powerful hand lamp, it weighs about 3/4 Kg 1.5 lb and might be an old surplus aircraft landing light, although I've tried it (sorry no pics, the 24v landrover went long ago) I think it's probably new. It's quite light build and not really that "mine" proof.

Light thinks it travels faster than anything but it is wrong. No matter how fast light travels, it finds the darkness has always got there first, and is waiting for it.

Goodness gracious me, that'd need a lampbracket and a half, plus a large powerpack/genney to keep it going!!

Better to regret something you have done - than to regret something you have not done.

It's 7 1/5 " diameter, it doesn't feel heavy for it's size and has a decent flat pad for mounting, 2" X 3".

Would draw about 10 amps, was intended to be used as a search light when I had the ex fire control truck (radio car for co-ordinating artilery if you want to know!)

Yep, had a Series 2A FFR, never had any problems with flat batteries, something to do with a 24v 90 amp alternator
