hi all have just been given a tiga sl12 (dont you hate me lol)
my question is it is fitted with the 6 and 20 watt bulbs now i find the 6 more than enough for both baiting up and seeing what i have caught in the surf so i ask is it ok to put 2 6 watt bulbs in the lamp saving the hassle of not having the problem of having to stop due to the bulb blowing
thanks

yes dene you can i have got a 5w and a 6w in mine and its fine

the 20w is really too bright and drains your battery.

i use 2, 6w bulbs as do most i know even the pro diggers do this. this actually gives you a spare bulb should one blow.

6w is ample for digging and fishing and some will say still too bright.

the new headlights though have a bulb that gives a white light where cheap bulbs will give you a yellow light that doesnt seem as bright, but still bright enough.


i prefer to use 2, 10w bulbs. these are very bright and still give around 6 - 8 hours light on a 12amp battery. more than enough for a night session.
