Do they work?

There some on ebay without the carp tax so I'm tempted to get one.

Carp life one's £50+ I think

Ebay £28

Got one from eBay. Wanfare, it's exactly the same as the carp life one. Just make sure you get the highest lumens you can and it'll work fine in the day as well. Save yourself a few quid.

I've got a Vasfire(?) one. Hurts my eyes shining it onto objects 10ft away, has a concentrated green spot about the size of a tennis ball, then a less intense green haze around it. Not tried it yet, but if that doesn't do the job, the green laser which would probably get a knock from the old bill if I used that on the street would def do the job.

I'd be interested in how the carp tech one compares. A mate has the carplife one and it's v impressive - see them off even in the day

If she is going to drain all my blood I might be scared away.. But I still might risk it. 🙂

I've got a cheapy £15 special off ebay which has exactly the same housing as the Merkko and it works fine on tufties even in the day and at ranges up to about 50-60 yards . . .as soon as they get a flash they scarper. However it does not work on coots / mallards / canada geese / swans so you'll need a lazer as well . . .

Tarantino wrote the scene with the dance and wine drinking in, cast her as the vampire and then cast himself as the receiving character... what a guy

I had trouble and didn't know if it was the batteries or the charger. Solved it by buying quality 18650 batteries and a new charger from Argos. It will charge two batteries at the same time.
