Lighted Decoy Headgear

[jaclinto]

I am looking for some good lighted headgear that I can use while putting out decoys in the morning. I found this product www.bosshead-lite.com which seems like a nice concept and I have also seen the head lamps that you strap on and various lights you clip on. What is everyones preference?

i wouldnt think about getting one of those bosshead lights. my buddy iowamigr8tor got one for free and they sux. they arnt that bright at all. i would say just get a normal head lamp. they always seem to work well. and last for a long period of time.

Cat Eyes LED head lamps! It clips onto the bill of your hat and has either 3 or 5 LED's that run on 2 watch batteries. They have unbelieveable run time. I have had mine on at least 25 or 30 hours on the same 2 little batteries. I think they're supposed to run for a few hundred hours on the same batteries, LITERALLY! I have a 3 light one that I got from Wal-Mart for liek $8. I did break one of the 2 clips off of it yesterday but it was like 25 degrees and they were pretty brittle Im sure.

No need in getting the expensive ones, go to Walmart and buy a Rayovac headlamp, has white led lights, red led light, and also halogen head beam, it sells for like $15.00. Best little cheap light in my opinion, I've had Petzl's and others, and have either lost them or broke them and it sucks to drop $50-$75 everytime, especially when the little rayovac's are just as good. It takes 3 AAA batteries (comes with some), and on the led mode it will last pretty decent, with the headlamp only, it will last probably 6-8 hours continuous. I buy about 3 of them at a time and keep them everywhere (in my deer hunting tub, in my blind bag, and 1 extra in the truck). Good luck.

I use two kinds. One is the cats eye thing that clips to the bill of your hat. You'd be surprised how bright that is. I also have a regular LED headlamp I got from Cabelas. It's quite a bit brighter, I use it for walking to the blind or pit.
