So getting back into hunting after having been outta hunting for 8-10 years and my old light bright eyes penetrator isn't keeping a charge. So time to buy a new one and thought I would ask opinions since light technology has changed so much. Thanks

If your in open country then the boss hotspot or I have heard nothing but good about the ultra!!if you are in thick. Dense low canopy woods then you need the boss triple threat. It is bright and gives you the luxury of colored LEDs which makes finding the hardest coon easier !!! Flat out bright enough to find any coon in any woods there are and best cust service IMO and I have a hotspot and I'm sure the ultra is the same way from what I here but in my country it is useless this time of year and it will flat out blind you reflecting off the canopy and under forage !!! Brightest isn't always the best IMO!!! Although I do look forward to cutting that hotspot loose this winter when the trees are bare !!!

I haven't seen them all but I have a laser torch pro and I thought they didn't get no better. Boy was I wrong. Sun fire ultra all the way. I couldn't even tell my light was in the tree. I'm just glad my dog looked pretty good, lol

There are a few single LEDs out that are 100,000+ or - LUX that are super bright the Boss Hotspot has the longest brun time of any of them and Conkeys is one of the best in the Bis

I have tried using 2 pop covers on top of each other and even used sand paper on a pop cover to try and get it as dim as I would like. I have a blazer belt pack now and run a sunburst ole yellow bulb diamond head on it with a amber lens.. I put a 8 position click switch in it and its still too bright on the first click for me.

I have had bout every new led light made and aint found any that dim as low as I want.

I would go with either the Sunfire or Boss these are the best and brightest in the business and both have excellent customer support. I have personally dealt with both Bruce and Mike both guys are top notch and will go out of their way for their customers. I personally own a Sunfire and have had it well over a year with no issues at all. I usually charge my light every 5th or 6th hunt. The light has never let me down. I have never burnt it all the way out or seen it dim at all period. I have used it well over 80 hours and brought it home and left it on to burn down 12 hrs later it still had not went out or dimmed at all. It states on my light that wide open its burn time it 4 hours, I know for a fact I have burnt mine wide open longer than that while hunting. I have no experience with the newer hd version of the Sunfire light. But I do know it is supposed to be brighter than the light I have and if it is. WOW!!! a coon doesn't stand a chance. I can tell you for sure if you can't find a coon with a Sunfire Brother, it aint there... I have also seen the boss hotspot in action it is very nice light and super bright as well. In my opinion you would be more than satisfied with either of these lights and customer service it top notch with both guys GUARANTEED . Hope this helps ya......God bless

I also agree with that hootowlman -some just wont look , but ill take my chances of first arrival at tree for first few minutes to shine the red halo from my Laser Torch Pro Color, hit the squaller then if he dont look im gonna shift to 6th gear and try to burn the leaves off ! HA !
Marketing and technology is advancing at such a fast pace these days its almost impossible to "keep up" with the best and newest hunting gadgets/equipment. Someone is always making a brighter light ( because thats where marketing hype has went), or a faster shooting bow, etc , etc . Its not always a negative thing , sometimes it for the better. Look at how far Lights have came over the years , its just unbelievable to me really. We wonder right now how it cud get any better than the lights avail to us now but just wait 20 years ( or less) .....theres no telling what will happen !

You can't go wrong with any that are mention. But when u get down south where some of the trees are high as the sky u better have a bright light cause they want look and that ole moss they hide in causes fits, so why wouldn't u get the brightest. And the color light that comes is dim as u need. So I don't understand some peoples way of thinking. But hey that's why there's fords, Chevy, Toyota, dodge, etc. But trust me there's three or four great lights out there. But the sun fire is my favorite.

Most of the top lights have 30 day money back on them just ask before you buy.
