Best Coon Hunting Light: Traditional vs. LED

In my experience LED head lamps have been more helpful than standard head lamps. The lights from the LED lamps are a lot whiter, a lot lighter, and the battery lasts a lot longer. Generally they are less expensive than traditional lights as well. LED head lights also require a much smaller battery therefore they are lightweight. For me hunting is more enjoyable when I am not packing around a huge battery.

Of course, I have also heard the cases against LED lights. Some coon hunters claim that they cannot see treed coons and do not like the white light.

Whichever light you prefer there is a headlamp that will suit you. Let’s take a look at some of your options when it comes to coon hunting head lamps.
