I can see twice as good with a LED. Your eyes adjust to it. Some folks say they can't.

LEDs are totally worthless in my opinion. They are good for burn time that's about it.

The biggest problem ive found with them is that a coon wont look at them even on low.

Im suprised it stayed on after what happened to a buddy of mine with nite light I wouldn't touch one. He bought their 28volt belt light and before he could get it in the woods it fell apart and the head quit. He called them he sent it back and they sent it back still broke !

No comparison------LED lights are much better, after your eyes get used to the bright white light you will be fine. Never have to worry about blowing bulbs, burn times are unreal, the battery packs are so small and light weight......why would you not want to use one ?............Tim

That's exactly my experience too. It is harder to see the body of a coon hugging a limb with a LED imo... Seeing Colors just doesn't stand out as well for me. Of course I am getting older.

But LED's are handy and last.
