Belt or Cap Light?????

Time for a new light. Been using caplight the last 6 or 7 years. Thought bout going back to belt light just because of weight but the cord is inconvenient.

What do you use and why?

Thanks for any input.

I kinda like my belt light best because I can put the battery pack in my shirt pocket where the control is easy to reach as compared to trying to get my hand up to the control on the back of my bump cap..
ol ART has got my shoulders as well as my knees

Sunspot has had one with a switch on the head for quite a few years..We also sale couple models with switch on the battery for 30-35 dollars less.We carry them at Valley creek and can usually tell you of a stocking dealer closer to you!

I personally like belt lights because. I lose my cap light falling off at least once a night...I've seen many guys drop them in the water crossing a creek....messing up the lights...

Caplight or Beltlight

I like Both.....
Caplight in Summer & something lightweight.
Beltlight in Winter with Controls on my Side & Carry the Head or drape over my shoulder, that way I can keep my Bald Head Covered & Warm....😁
