I hope it was not the one made by Night Light. I think it is was it $26. It will brun for ever but you may never find a coon with it not very bright.

the nite lite led was made for longer burn times when you dont need a brighter light I think. Like for fishin or trackin a deer or somthin like that. Thats what it say in the description for the one I looked at.

One LED is not bright then 2 or 5 or 7. Take to light of the same kind shine them on something one at one spot one at another spot now shine them at the same spot did it get bighter no just more intense. The reason people say that 5 are brighter then 2 is they have a better spot. LEDs are all about the led and the drivers. Good luck on making one brighter they have the best LED and drivers in the ones they make now.

Try to make one that you can focus allowing the users to adjust from a broad flood beam to a focused spot beam.

Like this light

right now i have ordered the EXACT same reflector as the g2 and im running a buckpuck driver with potentiometer hookup and im doing both set ups one with 5-cree r-2's and one with one p-7 both will be driven by a driver ive found that is 8.4volts max and 2500MaH output the p-7 should be a good tight spot and a minimum of 900lumens the 5-r2's should be about the same as the g2 led head and on the single p-7 im gonna try to make it adjustable for flood and spot. Ive also ordered everything to make my own battery packs from 6.4v-28v and its gonna be belt light im using the western rivers belt light controller and basically im just trying to be a cheap butt and build my own light set up its really easy for me being im certified for house wiring so i have the basic principles of power requirement down and it does help my sister is an electrical engineer for one of the big 3 and she thinks ill be good and cheap


ohh another option is 18,000mcd leds 5mm

l.lyle im just experimenting right nowi will have a 6volt led set up for my nephew if i can get it to work as good as i hope ill let you know as for the 8 volt the driver is a 8.4v max input so i had to put a 8v voltage regulator on the head so the 8 volt should work in theory like i said let me play and see what works with what ive also ordered a 5 mode driver that has high,med,low,strobe,s.o.s. modes i think will switch with the click switch like i said tho im just trying to get a head everyone can afford thats super bright
