Thanks Ernie. I must have overlooked it a couple days ago..

This light might be very useful for guys wanting to video their night hunts.

[CoyoteLight]

Yea, the run time is not what a less powerful light has. I think what every hunter has to know what they need for run time and how well they want to see. If you are a hunter that stays on stand for 1/2 hour each stand you can only get 6 stands. But they will be great stands to set on because of the amount of light. If you hunt like me a hunter can get 12 stands or more stands. Me, a few extra 186500 batteries is not even something I care about. I have carried a nightforce that cost three times the price of the carnivore 5 light. Plus I still went through two or three extra $35 night force batteries. I even own two night force just so I had one for a back up. So when you say run time is two short, it all come down to what you need and how much money hunters are willing to pay to see better. Look at the coyote light that cost $429 and only 5 hours of run time on high. It is a good light and there will be people that will own two just to run all night and have a back up. That is $858 to hunt with. A few extra18650 batteries sounds like a good deal to me. :-)

Since Ernie brought CoyoteLight in to the conversation, we have a few things to say.  The description from Ernie is misleading.

Battery Life
CoyoteLight gets at least 5.5 hours of run-time on full power, and when dimmed to 25% power will get 48 hours of run-time.  Normal hunting time when the CoyoteLight is used for both scanning and shooting is around 30hrs.  CoyoteLight was designed to have plenty of battery life to hunt all night.  If you hunt 5.5 hours with the Carnivore, you would need 11 batteries.

Brightest LED Light?
You say the Carnivore is the brightest LED, but have you tested the CoyoteLight?  Why only post a picture at 60yds?  We have posted pictures at 250yds.  We realize not everyone will shoot that far, but it's our responsibility for safety as hunters to see the back drop.  In addition for close shots, CoyoteLight can dim down so there is not a chance of spooking the animal with an overly bright light.

Cost
You mentioned you use a Lightforce as a backup.  If you combine the cost of a Lightforce ($319.95) plus the Carnivore ($112), the multiple lights costs more than one CoyoteLight.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

When I mention the light force and light force as back up. That was when I use to use a night force. I carried one for back up because I never trysted just one light to hunt all night with. So the price for me to hunt with that was $319 + 319 + at least six $35 batteries for a total $210 in just batteres. So the cost when I hunted with the light cost me over $845 annd that does not include the two $50 chargers I purchased. So I can say I have over $950 in light force lights.

As you can see for me to hunt with your light I would spend $429 x two for a total of $850  because I never rely on just one ligh as you can see frim my information stated.
Other people that may not take night hunting as I do my just purchase one and be fine with that.

As you can see I did not speak down about your light, I would think it is a nice light.

I used the 60 yards target in my yard because it was easy for me to walk out and take a picture.

Your light may shine farther then the the carnivore 5 but I do not think yours puts@ out more light.

Please let me know if you have any question.

Love the light so far.  I have not hunted with it yet but will give you a report when I do.

Thanks, I think you will knock some fox down with the light. I know  it works, we shot 16 fox the first weeken with the carnivore 5 and a fair amount were out pretty far and two of them were running shots. We only missed one fox, and Brian blamed me. He said I made him nervous and he took a bad shot. :-)

[Lookn4Fur]

You have that effect on people.  I missed two with you also and I never miss.

  The never word is a scary word to some people. So you can now look on the brite side,  you will never have to say never again.
Me however, I still enjoy saying the word never every day. :-) even though never is all relative to something.

[Lookn4Fur]

I hear you.  I wish I could honestly say I never miss.  It's more the other way around but things are getting brighter for me.
