Another light thread

I’m going to replace my Tri tronics Nite razor.

I like the square tight beam, it cuts through the tree with minimal washout. I have a bright eyes snake eyes I don’t use cause it’s got to much glare

I’m looking at the

Superior/star stingray
Bright eyes hotshot
Boss hotspot

Looking for a tight beam with walking light or defused pop cover, and light weight, compact small head.

If I missed any let me know - must be US, and great warranty

-Superior and Star I know nothing about
-Bright eyes I’ve sent a battery pack back twice for not holding a charge
-a buddy has an ancient Boss light that’s still going

I've liked my Outlaw... walking light is bright and floods a wide area evenly... spot light is pretty tight and more than bright enough. Made in USA, great guy to deal with.

I'm picky about a tight spot and a lightweight, balanced light. As such, I am a big fan of the Laser Torch Flamethrower Lite. The walking light washes out over a large area, but the spot on high is bright as any and tighter than most.

Those guys have been making lights for a long time, and while I've never had issues that required me to deal with customer service, I have to assume it would be excellent. The past two light packages that came to my house had a bible in the box, and that's kinda a big deal to me as well.

I do like the switch on the head.

Im not liking all the clusters of additional LEDs around the main light housing. 1 additional colours good for me

I agree with this.......👍👍
Laser Torch Flamethrower Lite is a Tough Light to Beat.
Its by far my Favorite Light.
The Amber & Red are perfect in Brightness and thats one of the problems with most Lights......way too bright on their Colors & too many Colors.
There is not a better, more Dependable Light than the Laser Torch Flamethrower Lite......Period....!!!

I dont like all the Cluster of Color Modules either... ..they look Ridiculous.
If you want a Lightweight, Bright , Dependable Light and you can get 1 Color Module or 3......Your choice.....Look on FB under Tall Timber Lights. Rob Giddings builds these and they are Nice, and they have a Bright Laser on them too if that interests you. They are $250 + $10 Shipping.
As i said earlier.......Laser Torch Flamethrower Lite is as tough & Dependable as you will find.
Good Luck
Tim
