Light recommendations.

I've tried going back and reading old posts. Kinda gets confusing.
I'm possibly in the market for a spare light. I have a bright eyes terminator. It's the only light i have ever used. I'm looking for something with it's brightness. They claim led lights are the way to go. That may be but i have never used one so i can't compair. I would rather stay away from a belt light. I think thats what ya call them. The ones with the batteries attached around the belt. That way if a neighborhood youngster wants to go it will fit him also. I would also preferr a reostat switch instead of a click switch.

So, some of you guys who have tried out multiple lights and compaired. What is out there? Thanks for any and all help.

i have a bright eyes belt light with a super six LED head. The batteries,switch,and head is 1lb 6oz's. A kid can carry that light all night. As for brightness, it is 25 volts and super brite all the light you need. The burn time is 250 hours on low,70 hours second click 30 hours third click and 3 hours on high. If you get one you will use it all the time when a kid isn't.lol

razor

I'm pretty happy with my nightrazor. About the only thing I'd change is the lens cover set-ups.

Buy a Sunfire and your terminator will become the backup.

i tried helmet lights and didn't like the weight on my head, i have a small head so it isn't balanced very well either.

I love the Nightrazor. Lightweight and no cord to a battey that weighs too much.
Adios,
Gary

Re. Light

Sunfire by far been using mine a year now and love it I can hunt 5 or 6 nights without charging it and haven't had it die once I've compared it in the wood with lots of others and nothing even comes close to it for brightness. I've compared to bright eyes, boss, laser torch, and it out shines em all.
Buy a Sunfire and the rest will become backup.

light

I have a Lazer Torch , I will not own a belt light again,this light is amazing, it will burn for weeks without charging if you don't burn it on high all the time, it did however take me a while to get used to the tight beam. No problems to date and it is a couple years old now.

belt lights and cords are a thing of the past.
