Default Cap Lights

Looking to get a hat bill mounted light that has the green/red light as well as white light. Does anyone have a recommendation?

Thanks

Not really. I have found these about the same as far as durability and lumination. Mine has 5 lamps. Does OK, but more or less useless for anything other than close in.

I don't like cap lights in cold weather, because the light rays tend to reflect off my foggy breath; making it hard to see ahead of me.

Perhaps a real headlamp would work better?

Default To each his own, but reminds me...

to use a headlamp, for practice, at night with a watch cap, while its still cold.
Nice gift, three color lights, and from Home Depot

I haven't ever liked bill mounted lights. They end up popping off, or at very best, they don't point where I'm actually needing light. I wear strap style headlamps on top of my ballcap, been doing it that way for ~20yrs now.

I never wear/use a headlamp for getting to my stand, don't usually use any light. Headlamps, in my purposes, are reserved for hogging or coon hunting at night. (Or work under a car, in attics, etc).
