Frogging light
 

I haven't been frogging since I was a kid but plan on going next week. Anyone have suggestions on a good light that won't cost an arm and a leg? Thanks

Man it's hard to get something good for cheap. I use a seal beam headlamp from prodrive. It's real bright and durable and keeps your hands free. I think it was around 70 bucks

You on foot or in a boat?

Mostly in my boat.

I made mine for the boat. Old hard hat and a sealed beam halogen lamp, a swirch, cord and tm battery. Done deal for under $50. Got another led lamp for when I'm walking. Can't remember how many lumen it is but, was only like $30-35 at Cabelas. It doesn't do as well in the faster pace of the boat though.

For hunting I use a "6 LED Headlight" that shins a spot light good. Don't know why it wouldn't work for froggin. I use one set of batteries all hunting season and I have had the light for ~ 3 years now.

It is made by Energizer...Trailfinder series. Sells for ~ $ 15 at Walmart. It takes 3 AAA batteries and says it is good for 50 hours.

Aucions Hardware in Morgan City has the hard hat lights with a few different options for the bulbs. Between $70-90 depending on which bulb u choose.

Where did you get prodrive light?

From prodrives shop in loureauville. You could probably call and have them ship you one though if you aren't in the area

cree xml t6 bike headlamp. buy it online or ebay about $28. claims 1600 lumens but probably less. brightest light i have seen. works great for me

How long does that rechargable battery last ?

i get 4 hours steady use on high

That seems pretty good. Think I'll go ahead and order one. Thanks

make sure you get the package
 

with the batteries and charger if you go with ebay.

I go frogging A LOT! A spotlight with a tight beam wired or plugged into a seperate battery works the best for me. I mostly fish out of a crawfish boat or 4- wheeler.
