I've walked alot of miles under a Laser Torch and like the switch on the back of the helmet. I catch myself reaching toward the back of my head anytime I go outside after dark, whether I've got my light on or not, lol.

Switch......

I like mine on the back if I am using a Caplight. Thats just what I am used to. That is actually one of the things I like about a Beltlight.....the Switch on your side.

When I had a Dakota Apex, the switch is on the head......I kept reaching on the back for it.....LOL

I like the head, I wear my hood up a lot and it really helps for it to be on the head.

Big Contry and I hunt on the Mississippi River bank in south Louisiana. If we find your Sun Spot Mini we'll mail it back to you. LOL That's the light both of us use. Great little light.
