Cap Lights

Looking at buying a caplight this weekend. I've never had one and don' know alot about them. Just wanting some opinions and reasons for what is the best one out there. THANKS

Posted by ST_CRK_KENNELS on 10-28-2011 02:48 PM:

I've got a K-Light and love it.

It lasts forever, and is the handiest thing I have ever had. I use it for alot more than just coon hunting.

Use SunSpot Lights, so bright its like the sun came out at night !!!

Posted by BlueMoonJake on 10-28-2011 11:34 PM:

I second Jim's opinion, Joey was kind enough to answer some technical questions in a pm, the sunspot is a well thought out, well engineered light using high quality USA led's. Although he makes no lumen claims, this light is going to put out well over 2000 lumens on high, this will be my next light, plan on buying one for the son for xmas. At 215.00 your not going to find a higher quality, brighter light with his level of customer service.

hunt with a KLight here.

i would wager that the reason "other" is winning the vote right now is because of the lasertorch pro. lots of guys are liking those lights. also LEMS is probably grouped in there also.

Posted by Slough on 10-29-2011 02:14 PM:

I have a Blazer, it is plenty bright. Didnt really buy it for hunting but have used it a time or two when went for a drop or two with friends. Use it alot around the kennels and house.

Thats What I was wondering. I had the assumption that valley creek and k-light would probly get the majority of the votes. But so far I'm with you. After talking with a few people and watching videos I am planning on buying the Sunspot. Looks like a nice built light.

You are right. I let the Laser Torch slip my mind. They ae BRIGHT, but a friend of mine had some trouble out of there original caplight. They may have all of the kinks worked out by now though.

Posted by howler10 on 10-29-2011 06:10 PM:

The Sunspot and the Boss light are in a higher class of light than the other selections. In my opinion the laser torch is a bright light but the one I looked at had some quality issues. I have a Boss Light and the Sunspot. Both Joey and Bruce both were great to work with. Bruce is a supply dealer Joey actually builds the lights that he sells. If I was only able to keep one of them it would be the Sunspot. This thing puts out an unbelievable amount of light. I voted for the Sunspot.

Boss Light

I use and sell the Boss Light.From what i have seen these are
top of the line.I have been using one since Jan.2011.No problems what so ever.Been using a Boss cap light since Sept.2011 no problems.

True words here. Very good basic light that has very seldom has a problem and if it does, Larry will have another in the mail.

Dont know if its the best or not but i LOVE my K-light Cap light. Very light and balanced. Dont charge it but once a week. Ive got a 28v K light belt light with a LED head and never use it anymore because i like the cap light so much.

I know what your saying Tim i've been out with 15 different people this last few months and there all liking the lem light some already have cap lights some didn't but they like the light i have. Plus i can drive to larry's if i ever had a problem. Like i stated earlier it might not be the best but it's great for the price.

Posted by Robert Johnson on 10-31-2011 01:55 PM:

I would use the Brighteyes. the white lighting head on a cap. simply put..BRIGHT. You can't buy better. I'm not sure you can equal it. JMO. Put the whole package together, product, qualitly, and service, you'll be more than satisfied. Again, JMO.

# This Torch burns bright. Currently being tested by Guinness World Records this is the world's brightest and most powerful flashlight. With 4100 lumens of raw light power, it's a full 100 lumens brighter than the previous record holder.
# The Torch can burn hot. You can hold the body of the flashlight as the heat-resistant lens burns plastic, lights paper on fire, and cooks eggs and marshmallows. For a bright light or light-grilling this is the perfect accessory for the outdoor enthusiast.
