Dont know who has the brightest out there but I bought my son a Smart Light for Christmas and we both absolutely love it. I hunt with a 21 volt Bright eyes belt light. It is not as bright as it but for the money and conveniance and comfort the next light I buy will be another Smart Light. I hunt Big Hardwood timber with a lot of big tall oaks, if you cant find a coon with this smart light you better give up and take someone along with ya to find the coon cause it aint the lights fault.

I sell light's and this gets asked all the time. All your cap lights, smart lights and predator lights are all LED and are bright, but you can't compare them to a belt or box light with a incandescent bulb. If you take a LED light an shine it in the beam of a incandescent light, you will see the LED as plan as day, and people that push the LED lights push that real hard. Think about this, look at a regular old household light bulb and then look at a florescent light, they are both bright but the florescent has more of a white tent to it. The LED light is the same, that's why you can see the beam of a LED inside the beam of a regular bulb. The little lights are great and affordable when you compare them to a belt or box and if you don't hunt but 2 nights a week thats all you need, but it isn't a work horse light. You kinda get what you pay for and most only have a 1 year warranty unlike a belt or box with a 4 or 5 year .

Any way to get one mounted on a regular hat? I hate a hard hat with a passion.

Who sells one with a traditional charger -- not one of those Chinese weird looking chargers?

I have 2 different cordless lights and both have a regular traditional charger..............Only one of the LED lights I have is also being offered by a hunting supply business............the other is one I contacted a company concerning.

Its gonna be hard to compare these lights until the manufacturers give us a standard to measure them by. For instance K lites new g2 head is advertised to produce 800 lumens, can anyones light top that?

BWSupplies, you know what I am talking about.

Is someone making them where you can plug a traditional wall charger into the battery pack like the box and belt lights?

I have 2 different LED lights that batteries built into head (kinda like the Predator) and both have a traditional wall charger.

I have a 28 volt nite lite and use a smart light for a walking light. If I was in a comp. hunt with only a led I would feel like I was there with my pants down. There is no compairison on how much easier it is to see a coon with the 28 volt.
What they need is a 28 volt on the same hat as a LED. Then they would have a light.
You shine a tree with a LED and you see a spot about the size of an eagle nest. You shine a tree with my 28 volt and the whole tree is like day time.

They use a lithium ion battery and they don't like water to well and they are in a nylon pouch. K-Lights battery's are metal hydride and are in a plastic water proof box. The K-light is a nicer light and you can tell by the workmanship.

I know KLights is in a project box but they don't use a wall charger do they?

I have wondered why the other LED lights I have seen out there are not using a project box as well for their batteries.

I also wonder why the don't make an L pug to connect the cord to battery box/pouch.

The K-Light uses that funny looking charger and I would say they use it because that head is cheaper then the one on a Smart Light. When you look at the 2, the Smart Light is $40 to $50 dollars more then the K-Light and Mikes light has the battery box riveted to the cap not zip tied on.

I have been using my smart lite since AO and I have yet to need anything brighter. I usually look for eyes during the summer and coons really look good at the white lite. I can see how maybe if you are looking for a coon body in deep cover you may need something brighter. I was thinking about buying the spot this spring I can't imagine going back to the whole belt and cord thing.

My smart light and my east fork has the weird chinese charger. That is one thing I dont like about these lights. Taking the head on and off all the time and next thing you know, its gonna be falling off when you look up a tall tree. Granted, these lights will do the job, but the day they make one that is bright with a long burn time, I will get one of them...

Funny thing is, when my son was about two he had a little Bob the Builder hat that was plastic with a light mounted on front of it. I think it ran off an AA battery or two. I was looking at it once and thought, If that thing was bright that would be the way to go. LOL....
