I use a 21v valley creek and It seems to be a good one. Their new 5led lights are nice too.

 

I dont know what you are wanting to spend or how bright you need it. But i would check out Crystal lights. For the money i dont think you will find a better light. They dont look like much but they are plenty bright enough to find any coon here in arkansas. Best part is they weigh less than a Pound and have long burn times we have hunted 4 to five times 4 hours a night without charging them 30plus hrs on low and 15 on high. I have the Cs-4 model its only 3.6volts but bright. Here is ther Website.

valley creek belt lights. very good lights.

 

White Lightning!

You gotta check out the new 25 volt White Lightning that Bright Eyes has come out with. I have one and it last all night long and it is bright. No more belt or cord to tangle in everything or snag on everything all night long. When your done take it off and lay it on the dash and drive. Take it fishing this spring and summer and I find myself using mine all the time in the yard.

You should look at the laser torch or the VC critter gitter, they are very lightweight and handy!

I went coon hunting with English the other night, he is telling the truth about these lights, they are VERY bright in a small package.

 

I've had 21 volt tejas belt lite for quite a while that i'm happy with.

 

I have a 12v moonshiner belt light very bright and easy on the pocket book!

 

i think valley creek, cajun, and bright eyes are good lights. i have a bright eyes and a valley creek. i like them both

 

Thanks for all of the input! I'll check them all out before ordering one. I wanted to have one by the time this snow melted, using the mag light & a small headlamp has saved a few coons lives...

18v Moonshiner. Best light I've owned.

 

i use cajun lights there real nice

 

East fork is coming out with a head light that is supposed to put out a 1000 lumens. It will be the brightest light on the market. And it's only $165.

 

I saw where someone posted a link to the NiteLite website, and have to respectfully disagree. Not to toot my own horn, but I hunt as much as anybody anywhere, and their stuff just doesn't hold up. Quality control is in the crapper there, and they kinda have a mass production, quantity over quality mentality.
I know somebody's gonna post about how "grandpa's 6 volt Hotlite has lasted 14years..." and I'm happy for them, but the truth of the matter is that most serious coonhunters quit buying lights there 20 years ago.

I had a hot lite that i hunted with for a while and like it, but I bought their belt lite and it wasn't worth havin. Wouldn't hold a charge for over a hour and the battery pouch was fallin apart.

 

Any of their lights based on the red 6 volt battery aren't all that bad, they're just past their time. The battery is basically the same design that put them on the map thirty or so years ago. They have started using cheaper components in their rheostats, and its a crap shoot as to whether one will hold up. There are several companies making lights that are lighter, brighter, and comparable in price. That place went way down hill when the Phillips family sold it. Current owners are Yankee transplants that have zero knowledge about coonhunting.

 

have to agree nite lite is not what it use to be, i have a hotlite pro when its done im done with nitelite ill go with a good belt light either cajun or valley creek though i do have to say my battery was sumerged under water for a good 2 minutes last night and still burned and the reo switched still worked dont know for how long but for now it does id go with a good quality belt light if was to do over again

 

Back in the late 90's, I swam creeks, filpped boats, fell in stumpholes, and generally abused the beejesus out of a NiteLite Hotlite. Gotta give credit where credit is due, and those things took a beating.
These days, I'm sold on a custom light company called ProLite. They recently changed hands, but warranty and customer service is second to none. I've also recently tried one of the new LED lights on the market from a company called Tim's out of Michigan. Their customer service leaves a little to be desired, but their quality is second to none. They are a complete outfitter and do hip boots also. Their boot/chap combos are also a better quality than anything else I've seen on the market.
Don't mean to be a know-it-all, but I've wasted alot of money on this stuff, and I can give opinions on just about any coon hunting equipment on the market...

I got the same complaint about tims. Before I bought my Crystal I was talkin to them about their lights all they wanted to do was run every body elses down then they wouldnt even answer the phone or my emails. Didnt go wtih them. But I here they make a top notch led head. I think moonshiner in oklahoma uses there led heads.

As far as nitelight goes I wouldnt have one of their light ran up my I have had about 10 in the past 17 years none lasted more than a year. I even had a hotlight catch o fire in my den. Had to through it in the yard the next day it was burned to a crisp. I called them because it was still under warrenty and they told me that wasnt covered. LOL!! Never bought another one.

I am telling you for a 105 bucks you cant bet the Crystal cs-4 led.
