wtnhunt Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 Not legal to shine to locate deer here in Tennessee either, but I do have a spotlight that I keep charged up for other purposes around the farm here, primarily checking on our cows. Think it is an optronic 2 million candlepower. Pretty sure I read somewhere that suggested not to hold the light on continuosly for extended periods of time.

HuntingInMaine Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 We can't spot in Maine right now, but can start again a little after deer season ends. We use a Brinkmann QBeam 2 million candlepower spot light and have had good luck with it. I put it on the wall outlet charger for the day and by night time it is ready to go. It also comes with a cord to power it with your vehicle's cigarette lighter, but we have never had to use it (unless I totally forgot to charge it at home ). There is plenty of power from one charge to use it for the entire week. I picked it up at either Dick's or Walmart and I'm pretty sure I didn't pay more than $50 for it. As it has already been suggested, don't leave it on constantly. Aside from getting too hot, it will run the battery down fast. You might want to try a new battery for the light you already have, could just be too old to hold a charge for long. And if money isn't an issue check out SureFire's flashlights. They are expensive, but incredibly powerful and small. I bought their G3 flashlight and almost blinded myself with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
