I've used various versions of lighted sights over the years. What I did find out is that although they seem pretty neifty, the problem comes when you think you need the light the most (at dusk) you draw up and look through a peep and you see this nice bright pin in front of you. The problem arises when you can't see anything beyond that pin to aim at.

About the only time that nice bright lighted pins are handy is when it's also bright outside. When you aim a bow your pin is not supposed to be dominant object of your focus. It should be whatever you intend to shoot. The pin should be just barely visible and most wrapped fiber optic sights are just that, plus self dimming as the light fades.
