New style lights?

Who uses the new style headlights, like the cree lights on Amazon. What's your opinions?

I do, I have two that I’ve bought for under a 100 dollars. Batteries hold up well, plenty bright. One had green and red with a 4 click spot light. The other is simply three clicks on spot. The light with colors is a little heavy and poorly balanced but the simple light is exactly that, simple light and effective.In reality you should be able to find a coon with a pocket flash light. The whole head lamp discussion, is all opinionated and to each his own.

I got one of those Cree or kohree lights had it way over a year hunt 3 times on one charge and you can't tear it up. Several of the light builders are using that head.

Im pretty sure that is the one I was looking at Triple K Kennel. Right now I'm using an old style nightlight belt light. Heavy. I end up using my dewalt headlight most of the time. It is brighter. Lol. But not rechargeable. Was wondering how effective these are and how well they are holding up.

The One for $23.00 is a Cap Strap Light.....the other is the Kohree Caplight that has No Color....But does have Screw In Colored Lens.
It also has the Switch on the Head. This thing is BRIGHT...!!!
I think I had a Total of $71.00 in it.

Text me at 765-244-7028 and I will send you some pictures of Both.
If you are using the Old Nite Lite....then either is a Huge Step Up for you......👌

This is what my simple one is, had it roughly 4 Years. Put it on a bump cap no worrying about charging every hunt, think I have 50 bucks in it. I’ve left it on my tool box one night after hunting and it was rained on for 8+ hours cut right on. Also left it on top of the dog box and drive down the highway of course it fel off, turned around and picked it up when I got home. Works to this day and prefer it over the newer one.

Do you think it is brighter than the Magnum XL? I have one and had heard that they were bright but mine is not as bright as I need and want. I use the third click as a walking light and the forth for shinning. I would use the forth for walking but I'm concerned about the battery running out.

Not sure if there is much, if any difference in Brightness....But I do think the Kohree has a tighter Spot.
This little Light is Very Bright & Shine the Top of Any Tree.

Kohree lights are the same thing EXACTLY as the K-LIGHT. They buy Kohree, throw away that cheap little battery box thing, jack up the price, call it a k-light and sell them to us. I always used and supported k-light until I found this out, and it's not hear say, I actually ordered one of the kohrees and they are EXACTLY the same thing!!

I wish I could buy a second battery for my light so that if one dies I can just install the back up battery.

Lights

You guys are discovering what I found out about 4 years ago. These lights are amazing, I have owned about all the best lights on the market and I find these to suit my needs the best. Cap or belt light, they ared light as a feather and burn all night. I use the 11,000.00 amp battery pack lithium and have never had my light go out. Can't say the same about any other light 21 volt or 28 volt. I got my older hunting buddy one and he thinks they are the cats meow, we now have all our high dollar lights gathering dust. I own 4/5 of these lights just to make sure I will have a spare. Lol. Dave

Those lights are nothing like the better k lights ,superior or sun fire lights , not even close to the same head or functions. Yes k light and everyone else used to sell the cheep version with there sticker and a pretty good markup but it was nothing like there better lights,and who could blame them we all have to make a living somehow ,go buy those cheep Chinese lights so I can pay more taxes to build the wall ,China sure as hell won’t help pay for it.

You are very wrong and I'm not speaking about other light brands I'm talking about klights beacon and the 1 they are promoting rite now "The Zoom" they are made by KOHREE LIGHTS not klights and yes they are the EXACT LIGHT JOE. No one mentioned other light makers at all but IF YOU ARE BUYING A K LIGHT AND I OWN 3, THEY ARE MADE BY KOHREE... POINT BLANK PERIOD! Also I'm all for buying AMERICAN, I thought that's what I was doing when I called Mike and ordered directly from him, however that's not what was actually going on, I was ordering a made in China light with a made in America false sticker. I'm not downing anyone or calling anyone's stuff junk simply stating a fact. K-LIGHTS ARE ACTUALLY KOHREE LIGHTS!
