Chrud Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I'll tell you my favorite for shining anyway. I like something 1.5 to 2 million candle and cordless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texan_Til_I_Die Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: What is the best spotlight to use at night? Off topic for this forum, but I'm going to post it anyway. For varmints at night, I like a lower power spotlight with a red lens. I use a Q-Beam varmin special and I've taken a 1 pound coffee can and cut the bottom out of it, then taped it onto the existing hood. This gives me a nice tight beam that won't spook the critters unles you hit them full in the face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bond Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: What is the best spotlight to use at night? I hate the cordless ones because the rechargeable battery doesn't last long at all. I've tried every rechargeable brand spotlight and every one starts to go dim after a half hour EVEN IF I HAVE IT PLUGGED IN TOO. I can't find any regular cigarette lighter spotlights anymore, not even 1 million candelpower. I did have a nice one but it busted and they don't make them anymore.

AJ Posted October 17, 2004 Report Share Posted October 17, 2004 Re: What is the best spotlight to use at night? I have a corded 1 million candlepower and a cordless 1 million candlepower. The cordless one is not near as bright as the corded one. I have used them for blood trailing after dark, spotting deer, and night hunts for deer (with proper permits). The Brinkmann Q-Beam lights work very well and are a decent price. You can still get the corded ones, even if you order it from Brinkmann Corporation.
