This could be alternative

**** COMING SOON FOR THE COLORED LED LOVER****
For all the customers that are convinced a colored LED is necessary Bright Eyes has developed a new light.

White Lightning-Red and White Lightning-Green

These lights have the lightest battery pack available for this type of light that weighs way under a pound.Pouch is made from hog dog cut collar material. IT IS TUFF!!!!

These Lights have the lightest High Power LED head"The Ultra Light" on the market at a little over 7 ounces cord and all. Completely operated at the battery control box no switch on the head.

Taking pre-orders now

Great Price 325.00

These lights have the longest burntimes of anything in its class!!!
It is sure to be a big seller.

I would like to let you the customer know the pros and the cons of these lights. Pros- No pop cover needed colored LED doesnt draw bugs as bad. Cons- Removing one white LED from a six Led array drops brightness approximately 18 percent and leaves a hole in the top of spot that is not terrible but is noticeable. I dont think these lights will manufacture coon in the tree. He has to be there to find him. I dont think you will find more coon with a colored LED than a pop cover but a colored LED may be more convenient.

The customers wanted this and Bright Eyes answered the call again!!!!!!

I got a green cap light and a green head for my belt light. Lots nicer than messing with pop covers. Seems to work for finding tough coons this time of year. Like it so far.

I have the caplight model with green catseye. I had a one of the top competitors caplights befor this and I can say the boss beats it in every catagory. brightness, dimness, burntime, fit, function and the aded bonus of no pop covers. I got the green and it seems to find coons great and I also use the green light to walk with some and it will burn for days that way without charge. Very happy customer here,

The key to the Cat's eye is control and spot size these 2 things is what helps you find more coons then a pop cover,

Red is the best I think. The Cat's eye you have more control over then a pop cover. When I had a 5 LED head and ran it threw a pop cover click 1 and 2 didn't even come threw the pop cover and it made a smaller spot. With the Cat's eye you get a nice dim color light on the 1st click that slow goes up each click on the 5th click it is brighter then a LED head ran threw a pop cover and you get a bigger spot with alot of flood light to get around every leaf on the tree. The Cat's eye has been out over 8 months and going strong. Kevin and Bruce are making some of the best lights period.

Cat's Eye the ONLY color LED heads that can be used with any light that has a right angle jack.

I had one built with amber LED's instead of white, with the green cat's eye, I really like it. It will dim down about like the old wheat lights on low. It is a well built and designed light , I can't say if it is any better or worse than any other light being built, but I can say that I like it and am glad went with Boss.

I have green, sort of wish I bought amber just because I have a hard time finding coon with a clear led I'm thinking I could have found a setting with the amber lens that would have been a little similar to a bulb light.

I just bought the green boss, kind of wish I bought the red, just becaulse I think it would be better to find blood when I track wounded deer.

If the light you are using now has a rheostat call Bruce and ask him about ordering the head. I bought the head at Oaks last Fall and didn't have the rheostat put on mine but I think I might have them change that soon. I love the green light.

I do not have a rheostat switch on my light, just a five position switch. I have the Pro Head, but it does not dim down low enough in my opinion... I am thinking about getting a Cat's eyes in red.

I bought the Boss with the green cat eye I like it a lot but I cannot adjust the cat eye when it is on. I have a 21 volt k light battery pack with a 5 position switch is there something I can do so I can adjust it?


Thanks
