    Joined the forum after trying to find some info on a tilley spotlight I just picked up.

    I can't seem to find any examples of it but figured someone here would know.

    Looks like an fl6 but it has 3 burners, any idea on the model number?

    We would love to see some pictures (especially if it is an SL3).

    Cheers

    :-s :? Two - you can see 'em on the image...

    One day, I walked up to a derelict building on a former RAF station and prised open the double doors. Inside, there stood an immaculate Tilley trolley frame with three unlit SL3 spotlights mounted atop. The whole thing was pristine and ready to go - even the tyres still had full tread depth and were fully inflated. I hitched it to the back of my car, pulled it out of the building and brought it home. I just needed to add some fuel and mantles, pumped up the lamps and they all lit without any problem whatsoever, each shining miles into the distance. :clap: :thumbup: :D/

    Then I woke up with half a can of beer spilled in my lap... :-& :evil:

    David, the lamps on the aerodrome stand in "the book" don't have handles.

    That is a sight.
    Even the stand is right for it.

    Thanks for showing it.

    You have a lamp that puts out 60,000 reflected candle power. Are you going to get her going ??
