moloch16 Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 I do a lot of low-light and night fishing. I'm looking for a headlamp that doesn't use a cycle switch. I have a headlamp that cycles between red light, low white, high light, narrow beam, wide beam, etc. It's annoying if I just want to turn the red light on and off to have to cycle through all settings. Correspondingly, if I want to just turn on and off the low white light, I have to cycle through all settings each time I turn it on and off. Are there any lights that don't use a cycle switch? Quote
Redsyn Posted October 5, 2010 Posted October 5, 2010 how much $ are you planning to spend? its $135 and I dont have one but if you have the money definantly take a look. I think its only a nob that you turn on low to high. max is 100 lumens which is crazy!!! http://www.surefire.com/SaintMinimusHS2-A-BK Quote

bass or bass ? Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 Ray-O-Vac. Has only red led, white led, and white bulb. Three way switch. You do have to turn it all 3 clicks from red to bulb , or back . Costs @ $25. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted October 6, 2010 Super User Posted October 6, 2010 Try BPS. I bought one there a couple of years ago for something like $10. Quote
scrutch Posted October 6, 2010 Posted October 6, 2010 My local Lowe's has a great selection of headlamps. Bought mine there. Not sure about the cycle thing, but it might be worth checking out. Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted October 7, 2010 Super User Posted October 7, 2010 All I want is a clip light for the bill of a ballcap that isn't made like a piece of shite. A well made l.e.d. light with METAL clips. Is that asking too much ? Every one I've owned so far has been a disappointment. Quote

There is an on/off button built in to the bill too. Quote
