What light and or lights do ya'll tote with you while hunting? I always have my trusty ol 3 C cell led mag light on me but its not very practical while wresslin around with ticked off swine  :D

I have somewhat of a headlight buying habit, if I see one that I have not tried before I buy it and if it works better than the last I use it, if not it gets left at the house and eventually disappears .......theres probly a pile of em ratholed somewhere along with all of my dang socks  :D Anyway nowdays I have been using a coast led light that I picked up at lowes a while back, it is extremely lightweight and puts out a good solid beam but I have seen better, over the weekend I hunted with a buddy who had a princeton tec headlight........ That had to be one of the brightest headlights i've seen for under 100$, this thing was like throwing an old KC daylighter on your head when it was turned on, very very nice bright solid beam.

Anyhow I was wondering what are ya'll toting around these days? and if you don't mind throw up a ballpark cost of what they set you back..... im always looking to improve my equipment. thanks.

I use a rechargeable nebo handheld light. It's about $80. Streamlight is always a good brand. I also have a small head light on my head about 35 lumens made by petzl. Both r led lights.

Go buy a Streamlight SupertacX at Academy for 79.99. It is small and throws one hell of a beam.

Nite Lite

gonna check a few of these out. thanks for the info, keep em coming.

If you are in the Friendswood area Lighthound.com has a store there. They have everything in the store that is on their internet site.

im not from that area but i'll sure check out their site. thanks

I m using lasertorch and is a badass light.

Right now I use a Energizer Wal-Mart special... 150 lumens for 14 bucks...

But its hard to beat them Hong Kong special Cree lights for the price!!!! Check em out on ebay...  ;)

justin, look on www.huntsmart.com during your research session too for head lamps.

I like the Cree T6 from Tmart.com. It's 1600 lumens for about 25 bucks

Lasertourch only way too go

   yeah nite lite has a decent product for not much denero .  I just bought the   Nite Lite   nite sport II and am well pleased with the power and lastability of the battery . it's the smaller 6-volt light with the rheostat head on it and the [ old fashioned bulb type ] not the led type . for some reason I just can't see squat with an led light . the unit was right around a hundred bucks and comes with the soft cap to mount it on or you can carry it like a hand held . all in all a pretty good light .  nite-lite and huntsmart are the same company .

you buy it local or order it online?

I use a browning blackout 6v can get it off eBay for $60-70. Really bright with 4 settings but what has me sold is it is ANSI certified WATERPROOF and is COMFORTABLE  doesn't feel like you are wearing a hard hat. With plenty of battery life and a good 50-75yd beam on high. I hunt in a lot of rice fields swamps and sloughs were it is subject to mud and water. When I get done hunting and cleaning game I just hose it off it suits me for my type of hunting.

did not give the website for nite lite is why I responded twice. I like the non-LED myself Halfbreed.....especially when spotting some bunnies..they don't run off as quick like they do from the LED's

Check these guys out. I saw them at the Florida sportsman EXPO and their led head lamps come with the battery and they are the brightest ive ever seen.

Justin Google laser tourch head light the guys that build this light live in old Salem an bonwear

alotta good info on this thread, keep it coming im sure others will benefit as well!

Local old coon man my grandpa hunted with makes em

I use two a cheap led one that takes one battery and an LED Lenser H6 that would boil the kettle from up close..

after looking at the torch light....I may just have to buy one and try it out

lasertorch is the way to go.  Ordered mine a couple months ago and it is well worth the money.  I got the Lasertorch Pro and it has the 6 settings on  normal light and 3 extra colors and i like it alot.  Very nice people out of Bon Weir.

if u wanna go cheap and still have a bright dependable light i would go with the cree head lights. There pretty bright and last at least two hunts for me without having to recharge.

Thanks--/ have been looking around

Laser torch all the way! I have had mine going on four years now. Hunted three nights in a row without a charge! Has been under water a couple times.! Still works like new! Bobby Barber stands behind the light all the way!!!

And....... No cord running down your back to get hung up in them " wait a minute vines"!

Had my laser torch pro for tie years now an still goin strong

Buddies have the black diamond head light. They're like 80 bucks and they like them a lot. And they're bright. I buy the cheap wal-mart ones because I can't keep one for more than a couple months without losing it.

I have a Fenix head lamp for about $70 that is bad ass.....but for value it does not get better than this $16 light from amazon....

Just as good or better beam than the fenix.......its crazy good.....I guarantee you will not be disappointed.....surprised the hell out me...
