I got the nite lite catalog today. With hide prices still low only plan on hunting 2 to 4 hours once a week to give the dog some exercise. What’s the difference 230 lumens and 550 ANSI standard lumens? Also regular led and Cree led? Thinking about getting the nite sport extreme Cree led or nite sport led II. Thoughts?

I'm sorry I can't answer your questions. I'm sure someone here will know the answers,,, but wouldn't it be cool to go old school for a few hunts with a carbide light. It's what I used first time I hunted with hounds and it was pretty old school back then 35 years ago.

Jeez Jayme...
even I had a light from the 1900s

spot light wired to a motor cycle battery in an army shoulder pouch.

Sorry I'm no help either

They are available on Amazon> https://www.amazon.com/Carbide-Cap-...amp;hvtargid=pla-1055413847227&psc=1

I purched a bright eyes Fusion and it's pretty sweet. The battery for an LED weighs next to nothing.

Sounds about like my first set up.... back in the 1970s... I had a spot light from an old hand lantern (6 volt dry battery type) bolted to a construction hard hat with a 6 volt generic motorcycle battery I carried around in a carpenter leather hip side pouch with a waist belt . I used a simple lamp push on/off switch wired inline with some old chunk of extension cord.
As far as the NIte Lite set ups I have a couple of the LED Nite sport models. Works great. But I hardly ever use them now a days as I use the smaller rechargeable LED lites you can buy about anywhere.

Lol. I used carbide when I was a kid. Man those things stunk! My dad brought home a box of wheat lights from a garage sale one day and we never looked back! Lol. Been many years but the last lights we used were the nitelights.

Had the old red helmet/battery pack Nite Lite for many years, purchased in the mid 80s. Finally crapped out.

Just picked up the Nite Lite Extreme LED Extreme 750. Need it for early morning/dark-thirty runs in the boat. Was 25% off Labor Day weekend. Looks like it will do the job nicely. Quite an upgrade from the 80s. Four settings, looks like high will be good running the boat in the dark.

Anyway, for what it's worth. You might not need 750 lumens.

I used to have one of those wheat lights where you had the battery on your belt. It worked great for night fishing.

I have not had good luck with stuff from Nite Lite. My blood pressure goes up 10 points every time their catalog hits my mailbox.

I don’t know how to attach a link but you should take a look at the Northern Light Polaris cap lamp. It’s cordless and near indestructible! I’ve had mine for over 16 years and use it hard! I run coon dogs and night trap with it. During season, it gets used almost every night. The walking light lasts for days and it’s got a 7 hour burn time on high beam…if you can’t find the coon in 7 hours, you need a different dog not a better light!!

One thing I liked on the nite lite the modern leds don't have is the flicker switch. A dimmer rheostat would be nice to have as well.

The LED model above does have a strobe feature. Dimmer would be nice, though it has four settings.

We use the odear super bright headlamps of amazon for frogging down here there about $20. High and low settings and they have a good run time can't remember the exact time but a few hours and there bright as heck. Easily illuminate frog and coon eyes

Too bright a light the coon won't look at you.

I've had nite lights over the years now I have a light weight led that's white,green red and yellow super bright

I've used Bright Eyes brand for years . Great customer service . Nite lites are junk .

Every bright eyes light I ever had was a dud, tried several brands, have used Dakota lights for a couple years now. Best on the market and best I’ve ever had is a sunspot
