Wanted: umbilical

Budget circa £200 although could stretch a little more for the right torch.

Looking at 10W HID or equivilant

I have tried a CD 10w HID (thanks to WWD), but also like the look of the Greenforce system. Ideally the switch will need to be on the head so I can rear mount on the cylinder cam band.

Anyone got something in good nick they want to or could be persuaded to part with?
Cheers
Chris

Not sure about the newer Greenforce torches (as i've got a couple that are a few year old), but there are no external switches. You twist the head to turn them on and off. Not everyones cup of tea, but i leave the head so it's just turned off and the water pressure compresses it enough to make a contact the deeper you go.......

have a look here for prices:

LUMB BROS Green Force Torches If you are on a budget, you can always upgrade later on when you have a few more £££££

You'll struggle to find one new within that range. Salvos and Halycon are out. Why not look at Sartek, Sartek Industries Home Page you are probably looking at £340 ish tho.

You should be able to pick up a Greenforce F11 with a TristarPlus LED head for £200... then just upgrade the head as and when funds allow..The burn time is fantastic and its a good bright light.
