I am thinking about getting a new light and wondered what your favorite is.
Right now I use a 12v belt light and a few cheap LED lights, but I want a decent LED cap light.
I also don't want to spend $350 is I don't have to....
But I know you get what you pay for too. so, what light is the best bang for the buck? thanks

I have the Sunfire Ultra (older one, not the HD) and I don't know why you'd need any more light. It is the brightest I have seen. It is balanced very well. So well you can barely even tell its on your head really. I bought my stepson the Sunfire HD mini and I would say it is the best bang for the buck. At $235 you cant go wrong. It is about as bright as mine, has same run time and is a touch lighter. The colored LED that comes on them is very nice as well. You can choose one of a few different colors. Also, Sunfire offers a 30 day money back guarantee with a 2 year parts and lifetime labor warranty. Either of these would be a good choice plus I am sure that some of the others are good lights as well.

Laser torch is best bang for the buck in my opinion.

Boss hotspot 3d. There's not a better light available. Period. Nuff said. 5 levels of brightness on white, red, and green. Level 5 looks like the sun just came back out. Extremely long burn time. $279.

Best bang for your buck....
.......Superior Light by Sam Davis, you just can't beat the feather light, it has 3 LED's one with color of your choice, or all 3 White. It's very lightweight and is only $199...........Don't let the price fool you, this is one bright little light.

I like the sunfire and laser pro plus both good lites and they stand behind them. I have 2 friends that have boss and had trouble with them one was just bought at Pkc world and the light quit after 5 times hunting with it and they said send it back now he is without a light I know for a fact laser or sunfire would give you a refund or send you one straight out I recommend laser or sunfire I have both and both are good lights and and they will treat you right.

Apparently he didn't buy his boss light straight from Bruce bcuz he's #1 in customer service hands down. If he doesn't treat you right then nobody will. I've also hunted with the laser torch and the sunfire beside my boss and I had the brightest light. I had the laser torch beat by a long shot and the hotspot was slightly brighter than the sunfire. Not much but it was a noticeable difference. So why spend more for less light? Get you a hotspot and you'll wonder why you ever considered anything else.

I have used a Laser Torch Pro w/ Color last year, it was a light my buddy had, he has since sold it and bought the Sunfire HD.
As far as brightness goes, these 2 lights are not even in the same ball park.
But, I am not convinced that having the Brightest Light out there is what I want ?
The Laser Torch was plenty bright enough to walk with and shine tree's to find a coon, so what else would you need ?
The Laser Torch's burn time......7 hours on high, is GREAT.....!!!
I have yet to see a Caplight with this much burn time on high.
I hate the caplights with the big battery box on the back of the cap, so the small pouch on the Laser is very inviting to me.

Not everyone likes the same Hounds, Trucks, Food, and yes Coon Hunting Lights..........I think we should be very Happy that we have Choices....

!! TRY THE NEW BRIGHT EYES "SNIPER" !!
Just hunted a week in Arkansas on the White River Refuge with a great bunch of guys & some great dogs, several different lights were used & compared, & Ray is probably gonna sell some "Snipers" as a result

Copy

**SNIPER**
(I have used one for 3 nights, (All-Nighters) here in the White River Refuge
Great light, lightweight, convenient, & SUPER BRIGHT
I have used a Flame for a year & liked it very much, & when Ray told me about the Sniper being similar, but brighter, & having a colored light, I thought I would try one.
We have some big trees in NC, but there are trees in this Arkansas Refuge that are big and tall,
The Sniper has shined the tallest way more than my expectations, has a good spot, walk light just right, & lasted all night with no problem, shining up several, tall, tall trees)

!!UPDATE!!
WHITE RIVER REFUGE
5 nights of hard hunting, mud, moonlight, long walks, TALL trees,
Bright, Light & Tight
The "SNIPER" held up great, shined the tallest trees, has got to be my favorite light now
50+ years of coon hunting

[B]I will agree with one thing you said Bruce has excellent costumer service.

Buddy of mine bought the hotspot at autumn oaks and there was something not exactly perfect with it and after that weekend Shane called boss and they shipped a brand new one to him immediately with out question!!!
