I would go with the Bandit belt light, or a Coonbuster. I use the Bandit, but Dad uses a 20 volt Coonbuster and they are both very bright and durable.

Dont know how widspread they are but the light of choice around these parts is an action light made by a guy in Hendersonville I think. Right now I use a 6v hotlight but will soon be getting the action light. Dont know anyone who has had any problems and they are very bright and hold a charge very well. Only thing I dont like that I have seen is it doesnt have the rehostat switch and the first click on the low side is pretty darn bright.

Bright Eyes....

I know Ray personally. He has the best warranty and will make it right if one of his lights is faulty. I have been a field tester for many of the Bright Eyes products and have been very pleased with each one.

i guess i'm stuck in the old days. i cut my teeth on a 6volt nite battery with wheat head. i don't use the acid battery anymore but still use a 6 volt w/ the 5100 head w/ 4 volt bulb. it's not as bright as some of the others but it's not expensive and burn time is good (don't have to charge every night).

i had a cajun and a bright eyes, but went back to old faithful.

All I have owned is Cajun lights. I had a Stinger + for 8 years. I gave it to my dad. I have a new Stinger + and I guess I will have it for a while. My dad bought a belt like called a "K Light" It has been good for him. Don't know much about it. I also have a Bandit 20V. light and it is a good one. Don't use it much, it is my back up light. But I suggest the Cajun lights

Sherrif Andy, Have you finished Sounder out yet? He seemed pretty nice. Good luck. Hope to run into you at another hunt.

Belt light

Made by Dave McClendon, it is" The Light Connection ". By far the most dependable,very bright, and lite-weight, you can not tell you have it on. I bought it last year at Indiana Walker Days and it has been trouble free, I have never blown a bulb or fuse. THE BEST LIGHT ON THE MARKET !!!!! I have tried all of them, and a great warranty 2 + 2, you cant beat it, bottom line !!!

I was looking at new lights last night in bloodlines and was wonding what the difference in the Nicad and NiHM batteries was. Some lights offer both. Is one better than the other?

Hawk32,i'm not positive but i think that the NIMH batteries are memory free and charge faster than the NiCad's.
