Cajun

is the best that I have owned. I have the 21 volt stinger+ and it is plenty bright and if you want more it comes with a hand held spot. My favorite thing about it is the burn time. I can hunt 4-5 nights on one charge or 3 nights comp. hunting. The Bright Eyes are good lights as well. I have a freind that has a 10 volt B.E. belt light that is almost as bright as mine it just doesnt last as long.

Bandit

You can't go wrong with a Bandit! Basil is one of the finest people around to do business with. I have had two bandit belt lights and both have been outstanding.

I have a 21 volt Light Connection and i haven't seen a better light yet and everyone that sees it in the woods has nothing but good things to say about it.

Same thing here cept mine is the 28 volt. Brightest thing I ever seen and it don't blow bulbs. Holds charge for a long time. I just went camping last weekend and used it all weekend without charging it, it's burn time is like 22-26 hours on low. You can hunt all week on it with one charge and if it's been a while since you used it last you don't have to freak out wondering when you charged it last. Just pick it up and go it will get the job done all night.


It is light, comfortable and built with absolutely the BEST components available. None of this plastic crap with thick spongy cords. Good solid cords and metal plugs with quality switch components. He has a rheostat so that you can turn it way down on those summer time leafy trees using a real dim light to make the coon look.


Here's a link to the 28 volt belt light like I have, he also makes anything else you can think of 17, 21, etc. http://www.mylightconnection.com/BeltLights/mini28.htm


Best all around light I have ever seen and it's built by a good guy that helps the youth out all he can.
