Best light for the money.

L.E.D by far. There is no need to go backwards. L.E.D's are superior in every way. The only reason not to by one is if it hurts your eyes, and I've only heard of a couple people who couldn't use them. Good luck with your new light.

It took me a while to get used to the led, but I can't see any reason to go back to 5100 style head. Led is superior in every department.

I have both. The led is truly brighter but the coon don't seem to look as good. It may just be my imagination. But that's the way it seems to me. I have the tri colored led light.

It takes a while

It took a pretty good while for me to get use to that "white" LED light, now I like it ok. Now when I use the regular bulb light it sure seems yellow. I never realized I used a yellow light all those years.

I can't get used to an LED...I use a blue glass on my 5100 but don't shine with it...and its white light..not the weird LED light color that's actually a blue color to my eyes..

I shine with my spotlight...another reason I'm not an LED fan..all the ones I've seen are like a flood light...and coon may be visible..but shinning way up high is tough without the tight spot..and coon/color doesn't seem to "pop" like they do for me...

I see most guys now carrying an LED spotlight..a few years ago when LED became the craze no one had LED spotlights...

If in I'm still gunna need a spotlight I'm not in a mood to change yet...


My current light is starting to go...its lasted 6 and a half years now...will send it in for batteries...was gunna buy a new light too...but not sure now..especially after this year...most guys have upgraded and I haven't seen asetup i like...not for the money they have invested..talking probably over 500$ for top of the line light, head and led spot light...


I like LED because battery life is amazing..bulbs don't blow (haven't changed my bulbs in my spot or 5100 in a long while though). Just wish they'd figure out a good spot... or adjustable like the 5100....bright eyes has the dial a spot..but I haven't read much good on it...sad as I love my bright eyes...

Seen most the big players at walker days and left with my wallet....

Steve the battery life on the LED heads is unreal !!!!! We use the K-Light G2 head and we cut a lens cover out of a light yellow see thru folder to take away the bright WHITE led light..... It is hard for some to get used to.....

Which one too buy?

I have a Lasor Torch Pro. Good light, super bright, 2 year warranty. I don't think you can go wrong with any of them though. Just make sure you spend a little time looking around cause there is dozens of options.
