    I have a Olight Javelot and a Maxtoch Sniper. The Olight is “de-domed” from the factory and throws a much more user friendly light than the maxtoch which throws a very white “icy” hue that makes things difficult to make out in detail at distance. I have a small maxtoch single 18650 torch also that I’ve had for years, I had it de-domed and it most definitely changed the hue of the light to that more user friendly hue that was less white than before I had it done

    @Ryan_Songhurst, what lights does your father use ?. One bloke I know uses a 30watt light for shooting hares commercially and just has them in the edge of the beam

    He’s moving more and more to thermal only. Has just completed contract doing all of the Macaulay and I think he’s doing the Godley at the moment and contract states no light sources are to be used. On some of the stuff where he does still use lights he actually uses the old school lightforce gear mounted to his helmet and has the Olight Javelots setup to rifle mount
