Led or regular light?

I am looking to buy a new light. Is a Led light better than a regular old dual filament light? I want a light that you can depend on night after night, and hearing how some people have to get updates on their Led's kinda concerns me. Any input is helpful.

LED's are lighter, brighter, recharge faster, and don't get as hot. I don't see why anyone would want an old style light.

LED... battery life is great, charges faster, and brighter. Get one with a dimmer.

i have one of each and i find myself taking out my 21v more than my led.. the led is nice cuz of the battery life and not having to worry about bulbs but for whatever reason my preference is the old style

Led hands down takes some getting used to white lite but well worth getting used to!

do any of you guys have the led with the red light built into it. Just wondering if it was the same as a old school w/ a red lens? I just always like to use a red light

The new led heads with the colored led built in are way better than the old style with the pop covers. The only regret I have had to switching to the new led lights is that I didn't do it sooner.

Yes, they will all work on your 21 volt belt light. There is a lot of good ones out there to choose from. Definitely check out the new ones that flood, spot & have color.

NO...however, I do highly recommend the bright eyes, extremely well made head, great customer service. Very bright but yet you can dim it down very low.

Check out the Boss Lights if you want color in your LED.

LED for sure the regular light doesn't even compare to the LED's brightness
