I bought one at A.O.'s, They are a nice little light. I will make someone a good deal on it if you want one. I am not a dealer for them. Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. Larry

Great to wear and use. In the ball park of a 21 volt light, the spot is very tight and can give the impression of being even brighter. Well made and solid.

if your going to competition hunt, I would take a spot light, I like mine but find myself wanting to hunt with my Valley Creek and spot light, in the competition hunts.

I have a valleycreek light and like it very well, also was thinking I just need a spot light and not a new light

I got mine at Autumn Oaks but had seen one at National Redbone Days so pretty much knew what to expect. While looking around I bought one of the cordless led spotlights from the Smart Light booth. This setup of the 2 works well for me, eye sight isn't what it use to be. Kinda like shineing with a spot light any way, specially if I'm shineing and shooting. That little yellow Spotlight always comes on in a neutral position and then you have to hold the trigger and adjust it dimmer or brighter. Biggest thing I didn't like about the spotlight is it cost me either 60 or 65 dollars at oaks and my nephew went out and bought one in one of the big stores locally for $40. Only difference I could see was his said Stanley on the side of it.

What's the 'LUX' rating(equivalent of brightness/candlepower). I have a K-light and it's 'Lux' rating is 2800LUX. Good light just not bright enough for me.
