I have had a smart light, LEMS light, East fork competition light, and Nocturnal addict. In my opinion the smart light and lems lights are not bright enough but I have not seen the new LEMS lights.I do like the hard battery pack that LEMS lights uses though. The east fork competition cap light I liked but just needed to be a shade brighter to see the tops of them bigger trees better. But the head is smaller and dont know if you can find pop covers. They have upgraded now so maybe that is solved. All these are single LED lights. The Nocturnal addict is what I am using now. It has 3 leds and a 5100 pop cover fits this head. I havent had much luck with coon looking at the led light without a cover. I prefer the amber. Also, the addicts battery pack is about twice as thick and heavy as the others. About the size of 2 cigarette packs on the back of the cap. It is plenty bright and has a high, low and strobe. I dont recall the exact burn times but I am thinking like 15 hours low, 6 on high. The down fall on this light, in my opinion, is when you shut it off, then turn it on again it goes to the next setting. Therefore you are running thru the settings everytime you turn it on and off. but overall a good light. Also, the addict runs $250 as the others run around $150. I have heard good things about Bright eyes cap light and k lights also, but have heard that k lights g2 omits a noise that will interfer with garmin so that is why I never bought it. These are all on the higher side of the market price also.
