What brands are y'all using? Likes/dislikes? Thanks in advance.

They aren't cheap, but a fenix is on it's own level.

For general purpose I have a couple of the Black Diamond headlamps that take 3 AAA batteries. They seem to work well and have pretty good battery life. Have red light and white light that are both dimmable.

get five cheap ones
they make light fine.

how freaking bright do you need? I have never understood buying nice shit. maybe you anal organized people dont lose stuff. not to mention, I'm kinda rough on things. I dont deserve nice shit.

and its still just a damn light.

i am the devil's own advocate.

homie playa however i'm supposed to end it.

What are you using it for?

[Black Bart]

Deer and ducks. And high-dollar art crime.

Get something with a rechargeable battery.

I have a browning one, I like it.

Fenix close thread.

This is the fenix I got. No complaints, worth the money.

$14 dollar energizer one from Lowe’s or Home Depot. I forget which. It’s better quality and has lasted longer than any of the expensive ones I’ve bought. High spot, low spot, strobe, flood, red and green.

And it’s $14. Or could be more. Mine is 3 years old.

Ok I've owned a few streamlight strion headlamps. Some rechargeable, some not, but they all work great for a high output spotlight/headlamp.

But the most useful headlight I use is the streamlight Bandit. Clamps on to my hat. Very lightweight. Provides plenty of light to walk out to my hunting spot, get my blind and decoys situated , and get ready. Costs $22 and rechargeable.

I've had many different ones. The one I use the most for getting into a stand, getting set up in a duck blind, etc. is one I got from Lowe's that is a ballcap with built in little LEDs in the brim. For blood tracking, I have another setup, headband mounted, with much brighter lights and a bigger battery pack.

Before you get one, practice talking to someone without facing them directly. When you get that skill under your belt, go ahead and get a headlamp.

Black Diamond has been doing this for a while.

I have one in each truck, in the boats, in the cars, in the toolbox, in the gun safe,
in my hunting fanny pack

I have nitecore and it has different brightness settings, rechargeable, and held up to my not easy lifestyle. Used it for deer, ducks, gators, and everything in between.

Solid advice here...^^^^

The one I have came out of a three pack my son got for Christmas a few years ago. Works great walking through the woods and getting in and out of stands. Good light, small, batteries last forever and I'll never lose it because it's cheap.

^^^ For overall, general use that I keep in my hunting pack, this is what I've used for many years. (3) AAA batteries, multi function and it lasts forever, I keep (3) more AAA's in my pack if needed. Might change batteries twice in a 4 month season.

I keep other lights in the truck as needed but for everyday use getting in and out the woods, don 't over think it.

For general use, I wouldn't give you a nickle for a rechargeable. A pack of AAAs is 1000 times easier.

I don't think we're supposed to say fanny pack anymore. The cool kids think it's gay.
