Bugboy3092 Posted November 6, 2020 Report Share Posted November 6, 2020 Figured I’d start a (hopefully) fun chain here, what are y’all’s favorite flashlight brands/models to hunt with? I’ve seen a lot of people with cheap lights you’d pick up at a Walmart, but is anyone else here real into using a good quality, powerful light? I personally use an Olight S2R Baton II, since it’s incredibly convenient (this thing is less than 4 inches long and less than an inch in diameter) and more than powerful enough (400 lumens for 4 hours, 1150 for a few minutes, or 120 for 16 hours, and of course 15 lumens for I believe 100 hours) to night hunt with.

JunkaiWangisme Posted November 7, 2020 Report Share Posted November 7, 2020 I use my phone and it's been really successful lol. It covers a large area, and it's as bright Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JKim Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 I use a COB LED flashlights that works with 18650 batteries. If you get genuine 18650 battery with a good quality COB LED flashlights, it works very perfect! This is a link to the product I'm using: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086626C4V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And by the way, there are a lot of fake headlamps out there (such as: stating they can light up to 20,000 lumen, but actually not). So watch out for that. Most of them are priced very low.. The good COB LED flashlights with high lumen are usually stays around 20 dollars or over. I have two headlamps with a lot of 18650 batteries with extra chargers to keep up with power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugboy3092 Posted November 10, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Well that’s a whole lot more than I’d expect for $20, how good’s the runtime on it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevink Posted November 12, 2020 Report Share Posted November 12, 2020 Headlamps are a natural. But, sometimes a flashlight is needed. I have a great flashlight which also has uv, I think I got it on amazon or ebay. Cree Led 3X0023X0fun It comes with a rugged case and it's multi use,tactical, and was apparently affordable because I bought it. 20 bucks I think.

Hungry_Opossum Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 I run through so many headlamps that it is seriously frustrating. I've use to love my old black diamond. It was only 200 lumens but 10 years ago that was a $80 headlamp. I've honestly switched to grabbing cheap $20 Walmart (Energizer) headlamps and they are amazing for one or two nights or decent herping/bugging. Link to product: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Energizer-Vision-HD-350-Lumen-LED-Headlamp-Includes-Batteries/47327204 Don't be an idiot and buy the floodlight version of this headlamp: https://www.walmart.com/ip/COAST-FL65-400-Lumen-Dual-Color-LED-Headlamp/698112133 Spotlights are the way to go!
