Here's my criteria.

Years ago I was walking to my tree stand in a huge block of hardwoods before sun up. I was using one of the big Maglight three cell flashlights (white light). About half way to my stand, I heard “someone” walking up behind me. I shined the light back behind me to let whoever it was know I was there and not a deer. I continued and it sounded like the footsteps were getting closer so I stopped to see who it was.

Finally, I saw it was a doe. She walked by me, maybe 15 yards away, stopping every now and then to look In my direction. I kept the light on her and she eventually walked on past me. I had the wind on her but even with a bright, white flashlight right in her eyes, she never stomped her foot or snorted or did the “head bobbing” trick.

JG,

This will be my third season using the Steelman Pro headlight.

200 lumen

250 lumen

steelman pro 78834 slim profile rechargeable led

https://www.amazon.com/STEELMAN-78834-Rechargeable-250-Lumen-Activated/dp/B01CK427ZY


Each have two different brightness levels both tilt up and down.

It has become an essential part of my kit.

I walk in before daylight and usually do not leave the stand until after dark-thirty. It is not a blood tracking light, but does come in handy when one is out at night.

At home I use it almost every night for some activity as it seems the older I get the more light I need to see, especially small parts. I keep it on my nightstand along with a couple other items just in case things go bump in the night.

It is rechargable with a mini-USB connection that can be acheived with a plug in to a wall socket or a charging accessory.

LOL. That’s pretty funny!

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Be cautious of the rechargeable lamps. They don't last much more than 1/2 hr and take a lot longer than that to recharge.

Good grief...



Yeah. I chuckled when I read it.


What did I miss?
