Portable lighting tech

[resister]

I have a bushnell, rechargeable flashlight that is 1300 lumens and burns for two hours on a charge. It cost 60 $, but is worth every penny. Imagine 6 batteries every two hours ( don't even think of dollar store batteries, they are a joke)

It quickly pays for itself in batteries. I kinda doubt manufactures claims on run time and intensity, though.

How bout yall, what lights do you own?

It is amazing watching lighting technology evolve. Can't wait to see what the future holds!

I use a Petzl pixa headlamp. It's pretty badass. Rechargeable, lasts well over 10 hours steady but it's not as bright. It has 3 diff settings but max power only lasts for like 3-4 hours at 90LM. Not much range but it's just for work so I only need to see in front of my face heh.

Can use a headband or it also just clicks into my petzl hard hat. Love this thing.

I need to get a cool, big spotlight for shooting coyotes fucking with my chickens.

Sounds efficient for the task, I use mine for cycling at 10 mph or so, very adequate. My buddy has some military light, he pointed it at a cell tower about a half mile away. A really bright green beam as big as a dinner plate, lit it like daylight, it is not on the civilian market. I look forward to it's release.

Match the tool for the task. Maybe snares are in order for the coyotes (if no domestic dogs are present)

I usually get a new small flashlight to carry in the woods for Christmas and this year was no exception. The little SOB is bright, but being the time of year and my surgery I really haven't had a chance to check out all the features. But since I am suffering a case of full blown cabin fever , I may do just that this weekend.

Hopefully it is rechargeable, any light that throws a good beam, eats batteries in a hurry.

Any strong light also needs a low setting. Low setting on mine is 150 lumens and has a 30 hour run time. As stated though, I think manufactures claims are a little optimistic.

It does have settings and even colors. I'd mostly use it in the woods before dawn or after dark but it did come in handy when I installed a dishwasher. Yeah, it was the wife's Christmas present but in my defense she did request it.
