I been useing one for a few months and really like it. The only thing i dont like is if the Bat. gets low the light doesnt give you any kind of a warning, just goes out BOOM.

I really like mine. If I had to pick one thing I didn't like it would be how the orange lens cover hooks to the head. Super bright with a wide beam love it!

The light goes dead without dimming because I use protected batteries on it. The up side to that is it gives you all it can until it can’t anymore!! LOL It is a down side that it doesn’t dim but its going to do that in any light with protected batteries and a constant current driver.
The other thing is if you like a small tight spot then it’s not the light for you. It has a much larger spot than most some don’t like it but others love it.

I know 2 guys that have them. They both have sore hips. Not from packing it around but because the switch has gone out of both of them. They come on after a handful of hits to the hip.

I think you have the wrong light. This is a cap light.

If I had to come up with a con I would say sometimes with the wide beam its tough to pick stuff out of the top of a real tall tree. I have had my light a while and that has only happened maybe 2 times. I really like my sunspot its a great bright light.

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.
