Light opinions please.

Looking at new lights. I have a old blazer light that I’m ready to upgrade. I’m looking at feedback mainly between the boss patriot, sunspot rage and bright eyes fusion. I read that the boss has a more yellow tint to it that helps from washing out the color. Does either the sunspot or bright eyes have this. That is what I hate the most about my blazer is it is so white of a light that I look over the coon because it blends in with the tree. Thanks in advance

I have the Sunspot Inferno and like it very much. Easier to distinguish the coon from branches etc. than my previous light. Bright and long burn time. Also lifetime warranty. My understanding is the Rage is a step up from mine but I can't imagine how it can really be any better.

I got the same light I love it but it might just be my eyes the walking light could be just a little brighter or maybe a tighter beam.

You can't go wrong with any boss light. The workmanship is top notch and there's no better customer service than Conkeys.

Tar I do run my walk light on 2nd position part of the time buy I use it on low at least 50% of the time. Of course I'm only 70 so maybe my eyes are better, lol.

So I think I have it narrowed down between a boss patriot or a rage from sunspot. I like the lifetime warranty from sunspot and has had some good comments on here. My dad has a old boss that is about 6 years old and has been a good light. The patriot appears to be a lot more compact on the headlamp than the rage. Has anyone been around both lights to confirm this or the pictures just deceiving that look.

I just bought the patriot and couldn't be more pleased. Build quality is as good as it gets, it's very bright, and the switch being on the head is very nice. Conkeys had it to be in 2 days time.
