I joined the forum hoping to find some advice on my next headlamp purchase.
I am bowfishing from a kayak, so my lighting options are basically limited to what I can mount on my head.
To cut through the murky water it must be as throwy and focused as possible, replaceable batteries are also a must have, of any type. Price is not a factor
So far I have been using a Coast HL8, the lens focus crams all the light it can throw into a 3 ft. diameter spot, at 360 lumens. Its been a great light for the $40 price tag, but I really need more ability to pierce muddy water.
I had considered skipping headlamps altogether and buying a powerful mid-sized flashlight to mount to a hat or helmet.
Any advice would be appreciated
I had some 12v lights mounted to the kayak but found that they illuminate the boat far too much and scare the fish away
