I like the sunspot light. I don't have one yet but I plan to get one. I like a headlight because I want my hands free. I currently use a stream light head lamp. Works good but the batteries are high and u get 1 maybe 2 hunts per battery.

I tried some china made lights from amazon. They were really bright and rechargeable but crappy quality. I now have a coast headlamp 19649 HL8 it runs off 4 aa batteries and is completely water proof and advertises lifetime warranty. Its really suprising how long it will last im talking 3-5 nights depending how u use it. I think its advertised at like 80 hours on low. On my recent texas trip we caught a good hog in water about knee deep the hog was in some brush and my light got knocked off in the water for bout ten minutes til we found it. hit the button and it turned right on. washed the mud off and on with the hunt. I got it on amazon for $60 I think its normally over $100.

Valley Creek Pro Cap Light. A little pricey but well worth the money to me. They are built tough and very very bright.

yep...and if you want a hands free lite to go with this mag lite then go to Academy and buy the "Timber Creek" head lite for 10 bucks...it's a good lite and lasts a long while...

I don't know but it shines far as a spot lite but it can be made into a flood lite...about as good a lite as you will need...

yep, energizer $14.99 special. works good for the price, but I do have a fenix 7 function led light that on high will shine out nearly 200yds. it has 4 brightness settings, sos, strobe and flashing settings, but is a lil awkward to be running with in the woods, but works great for walking through the woods, skinning, gun smith work, pretty much anything except running with it.
