Moonshiner

Donnal is a one man operation so their hasn't been to many fingers in his lights.. He also uses only the best materials available. I've never had to send one of his lights in for any warranty work or repairs.

ive got a nitelite 28volt pro belt. And i hate it its the biggest peice of junk ive ever owned. Nitelite has had it more than i have. Their customer service sucks and you have to fight with them to get your brand new light fixed. Im soon to be the owner of a valley creek.

valley creek

my son and I both have valley creek pro 21 LED's........we have had moonshiner, bandit, and coonbuster, no serious trouble w/any of them............when we went LED, I felt it was important to deal with someone that was top notch service and serious about their business.......Cadillac equipment and top service, that"s Valley Creek !

I use the Boss Turbo with Cats eye.

1. I have not seen one brighter. (Yes I have seen the 6 LEDs and had my light side by side with them.)
2. The Cats eye I got to save me from buying pop covers, but have found that I can walk with it and only bruning one LED I have a real long brun time. It works as good or better then a pop cover for finding coons.
3. The battery pack is made of the same stuff as WICK's.
4. The 6 click swicth is the best I have seen on a LED low low, high high, and everything in between.
5. Two Year Warranty is the longest I have seen on a LED.
6. Bruce and Kevin stand be hind it " If you receive your light and are not happy with it for any reason just let us know. You will get a full refund upon return of the light."

Boss Light want win your poll cause they have not sold as many light as some of the others. If you read some of my old post you may see in the past I liked other light makers, but this Boss Turbo I think is the best light on the market today and I know it is the best light I have every had.

This PIC you can see the swicth for the cats eye. The G on the head is because mine is green


Here is the top of the line light package

K-lights for me. Before internets all I new was nite lite. About four years ago I ordered me a new nite lite an when I got it it was broke. Long story short I got three lights with in a 6 month time. I would not send the last one back. I bought a K-light that year I still have the light. I've went through a couple bulbs and this year the batteries are starting to get weak. But Im still using it.

I use a Valley Creek 21 volt belt light with a 5100 head. It has been very durable, never had any problems with it. I'm going to try this East Fork Widow Maker Cap light the old lady got me for Christmas, will see how it goes.

I also liked my Crystal light I used as a back up. Very light weight, super bright, and had an awesome battery life.

2 cell flashlight will do

If you got a dog that will tree a coon,0 not a coondog that will tree.
Bama Lights will do also.

I hunted with Cajun lights for years w/o any problems. I recently got a 25 volt Brite Eyes with the L.E.D head, and I have sent it back twice. It is with them right now. The people there are very nice, but I am not sure about the new lights. Hope it comes back ready to go.
