Title: Coon Hunting Headlights
Post by: hog bit on November 02, 2012, 09:42:23 am
How many of ya'll use the coon hunting style lights?  I am talking about the ones that come on a bump cap or a ball cap. 

Anyways, let me know what light you are using now and what lights you have tried. 
I am making the switch from a small headlight made by coast.  It is suffecient when it has new batteries, but they don't last very long.

This is what I used... Light weight and bright l.e.d.

Cost around $100

I just got tired of the cord hanging on vines and limbs..

The Tri-Tronics RAZR light I won off here in a drawing is the best, most lightweight I've seen.  It's extremely easy and comes with no battery pack.

Check out moonshiner lights web page. They have a small light that mounts on a ball cap or hard hat, and that thing is bright!!! I know a bunch of people that use them and they are all happy with it.

I can't see much with the LED lights either. Have grown to hate those things. I guess I spent too much time chasing coon hounds with my old Cajun Light. I have the most trouble with the LED when I am trying to blood trail a deer at night. My eyes just can't seem to pick the blood out as easily as a traditional bulb.

I used nite lite for years but three years ago I think it was may have been longer. They came out with the new look with a handle on the battery. I didnt care about the handle just needed a new light. The first one they sent wouldnt even come on make a long story short THREE lights later I got my money back witch was on a gift card to nite lite store an they even sent me another free light the last one they sent worked a couple months an went out.

I USE AND LOVE K-LIGHTS Very good people and a great light. Ive used this one I have now for the last three years.
