Looking for a good rechargeable spotlight and headlight to gift to a cattle farmer to use to check his cows/ find cows in large pastures with wooded fence lines. Looking at the Odears, but very open to recommendations.
Thanks

Wicked Hunting Lights. kinda pricey, at least for a guy like me, but i got this one. crazy how bright it is. reostat dimmer and all 3 colors, as well as focus form needle spot to more flood.

rechargeable and on full charge lasts a long time. we would gator hunt most all night this year and never once did it ever dim or appear to be losing battery. full spot beam and red we were spotting gators 3/4 mile. light is amazing.

i have 2 of these and they have been great. long battery life, affordable, rechargeable. I get the "boruit" branded version for about 15 bucks on ebay. My only gripe with them is the size/weight. they will take up your whole fanny pack and leave you with no room for piss bottles or toilet paper. I mainly use mine for frogging.

I got tired of the amazon ones dying on me after each year. I just ordered a thru night. it is expensive but damn its bright and has a warranty.

Can also be taken out of the headlamp "holster" to use as a regular flashlight.

I have the older model of this Petzl headlamp and like it a lot, so I bought my sister this one for Christmas:

I've had this Vapor Trail Scents headlight for about 3 years and it is great. Throws a tight beam a long way, and the battery lasts forever. It would probably perfect for what you're needing.

Black Diamond Spot Headlamp, Dark Olive

I just got one and its top of the line. reg $39.95 on sale for $28.00

Amazon prime.

I have recommend this headlamp today at least 3 times. lol

It really is bad-arse. Three different strength settings with red, blue and green color options. Its by far the best headlamp I have had. Lets see if it can hold up.

When I saw the thread title, I expected to see Livingston Parish as the top recommendation.

I have 3 like this rechargeable headlamp; one in my truck (zoomable) from Amazon, one in the master bedroom (non-zoomable) and one in my hunting pack (zoomable). I prefer the zoomable. I bought a wall charger and a couple extra batteries so I always have a fresh set of batteries.
