True but even though most light builders do use imported items to assemble their product, I rather sell something that a fellow hunter made. I have nothing against those little lights and sell many of them but they are a imported item.

If I can save enough cash to buy several tanks of gas that's a no brainer. I believe in buying local but when the locals are jacking the price to bulge their pockets fast and drain mine fast, yeah ill take my business elsewhere.

i hunted with a 6v nite light for years. i started with a 4v wheat light. i like the laser torch. you can get a torch II for 165 and get a good light that will last you many many many hunts. and it not a cheap lite. i love mine.

I bought a Crystal light made by Ken St. John for a back up, and now I use it everynight. I got the CS-6 made for a cap light, at around $120, with a 6 month warrenty, it's pretty hard to beat.

Here's the website:

you could either get a cheap junky light that wont last a long time or get one that will last long long time. if i were you i would buy a blazer light. best one out there. spend some extra money but its worth it!

THANKS

Welcome To Sunspot Hunting Lights



I would like to introduce to you the Sunspot cap light.

It has a three LED head using Cree's brightest LED's at their maximum capacity.

It has a three position switch with a VERY bright high a useful medium and a good low. With a memory so when you turn it off it comes back on in the last position that it was being used in.

It has a larger spot than other cap lights. It will put light in a larger area so it makes shinning the tree easier for me. It also makes walking a lot easier.



Burn times are:

3 hours on high. (It's very bright)

7 hours on medium. (Very useful light as bright as most of them on high)

27 hours on low. (Great for shining and walking this is the mode that I use 98% of the time)

It's very nicely balanced. It feels comfortable on your head and does not fall off when looking straight up or down.



Sunspot Bumpcap $210 + $15 UPS Shipping

Sunspot Softcap $215 + $15 UPS Shipping

1 year parts warranty and a life time labor warranty.

30 day money back if returned in the shape that it was shipped to you in.

This light has been a project that I have put a LOT of time and thought into. It is very well put together with a clean and professional look. I have received comments in the range of that is very nice to Wow! There are a lot of really nice bright and dependable lights on the market in the range from $100 to $500. I tried to price this light in the lower range but its brightness and durable construction certainly puts it in the class of much more expensive lights.

All that I asked is that you give it a try and you will not be disappointed. I will give you the best customer service that can possible be given.
