New lights ?

I’m getting well enough to riding along coonhunting. I’m thinking about a new light but I’ve been sidelined so long I don’t have a clue what a good light is nowadays. Opinions along with prices are appreciated.

Lights

Marv
Alot of Good Lights out there these days and they all have alot of options and some have too many options.
Customer Service is a must for me and that's why I go with Superior Lights, they have been doing things right for many many years and they will answer their phone when you call. Another Top Notch Company is Cajun Lights......you can't go wrong with either Company.
Other Good options are :
* Brighteyes Lights
* Boss Lights
* Sunspot Lights
* Laser Torch Lights

A new Light will cost between $300 - $360
If you need anymore specifics on these let me know.

I am right in Peru & you get to hunting I would like to tag along with you some.

superior lights

IMO the HellCatt Maxx by superior is the best there is. You can use discount code CHUPODCAST on Nitehunters.com and get almost $20 off a the light.

Im liking my hellkitten by superior.Their customer service is good.He made mine for me with one red and one amber and they are plenty brite.I have to have a amber for bugs.Changed my main beam from natural to bright white for me at no charge.Natural beam didnt work for me.If you want a cheaper lighter weight caplight the wisdom is good.If i didnt coonhunt alot thats all id need.Also good light around the house.Used mine alot for four years and still going strong.

Customer Service

In today's world there isn't much of a quality issue in lights. They are plenty bright enough, and durable enough for what we do. What sells the lights to me is CUSTOMER SERVICE. Lifetime warranty means nothing if you cant get ahold of the manufacturers.

You maybe be right..Luckily i have been in business for 35 years and sold lights for just about every manufacturer that has ever built a light that is in business today and a bunch that have gone out of business..If the buyer has facebook,e mail,text or a phone most can get in touch with those that offer a lifetime warranty in one way or another..maybe not as fast as our society wants today but i know I answer all of the above between 80 and a 100 hundred hours every week to try and help my customers.

I wasn't casting shade on any one brand or brands. I was just making a statement, to me the customer service is the biggest part of the light as it is anything else. I know ya'll do a good job at Valley Creek and I appreciate it 100%! By the way you have any size 10-11 Bekina's with the wicked (black) chaps?! Mine are toast lol

Have both sizes with our Garnett chap. Can get both sizes made with the wicked or bushmaster.Thanks!
I agree on customer service but not only with lights or any product they can not be fixed on the phone..I have to offer customers different products on drop ships when various companies either don't. Get back with me or offer their product to sale.

I've used Superior lights for a long time with no problems other than regular wear and tear. The Hellcat lights are really nice. Like others have said, there are a lot of good lights now, all priced pretty close together. Glad to see you're doing better. Jr.Steelman

I use the bright eyes Viper XL and really like it.
with that said I don't think there's a Nickle difference in any of the top lights.
