looking at lights

I already own two of the best lights on the market. The sunfire and sunspot(actually my sons). I don't believe nothing compare to the sunfire in brightness and I will keep It and us it when it cools off.

My only issue is the sunfires battery rubs the back of my head bad. I guess due to the size and weight. Well I'm a big boy and sweat like a hog because I hunt right on thru the heat of summer. Well the sweating cause a heat rash to break out on the back of my head and I have a shaved head, so there are times it looks and feels bad.

Prior to these light I had a g2 head on a 21 volt belt light and I will say I found as many coons with that as I have with any light. I don't believe I have to have a colored LED to find a coon.


What are some light options out there? I'm looking for comfort but what something bright because I'm about to start pushing a dog pretty hard

Any boss lights if you don't need the color LEDs then the new magnum pro. Is brighter than anything out there and light and the price is very inexpensive. For what you get nn 571-233-5819

Billy Mr. Rosemond will put a long cord on either one of those lights so ya can just carry the Bat. in your shirt pocket.
I have both of them also, and i dont think anything on the market compares.

You will love an excalibur made by crystal! Just as bright as any and not as heavy!

light

I use a Valley Creek pro & don't have to have the led w/ green switch but I like it for comp. hunting especially if you go where tall pines are the white light seems to blend in with tree & coons look @ the color better . When you get one you won't go back.
I would go with the Valley Creek Mini Pro it's as bright as the pro & very very light weight & good priced on pkg Valley Creek has excellent customer service no better in the business.

Billy we have some options for you..The sunfire is extremely bright as we sell them also..If you are looking a caplight we offer two options..the valley creek pro with 2 white leds and one colored or the crystal with the colored pop covers..Both lights are lighter than the sunfire but you sacrifice a little brightness..If a belt light will suit.. our mini pro fills that void as good as any.. Put it on a lanyard round your neck and you may not wear anything else..we sell them all with a thirty day money back guarantee or trade to another type..Your choice.Thank you!! 434-865-4868...valley creek east.

Hard to beat the Boss. I've got the cap light and the Triple Threat on a 21V battery pack. Love them both.
