☠ Cipher Posted March 11, 2018 Share Posted March 11, 2018 Buy yourself a metal detecting flashlight holder $5, and a power bank with built in flashlight $5-$20. I personally prefer the larger waterproof solar power bank with dual LEDs. Great for night time surf hunts All available on eBay. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

☠ Cipher Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 19 hours ago, BeachHunter said: Nice setup Cipher. It's not my machine, unfortunately. Mine has been delayed in shipping until at least tomorrow probably due to regional storms. I saw this on eBay. The seller was trying to market it as something special he created for the Equinox and asking over $30 for. Broken down, it only costs $10. I have a flashlight holder and flashlight on each of my machines, but never thought of using a flashlight/power bank combo on the Equinox, so that was great thinking by this seller. It prompted me to look into other power banks and that's when I started to see solar powered and waterproof. Some great options for enhanced day to night hunting 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeachHunter Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I think it’s a great idea to add a PB that can double as a flashlight. I’d really like to add the power bank under the arm cuff for a little more balance. Have fun with the EQ. Best of luck! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonLan Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 Looks very reliable indeed. Has anyone used any other brands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger-NH Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I prefer a head lamp with red light for night vision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonLan Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Badger, can you tell me what brand is your lamp? Did you buy it recently? I am interested in purchasing a solid torch for night walks in the forest. Can anyone recommend me some reliable brands? I haven't done such acquisitions before. A good friend of mine said that he used https://www.amazon.com/Vont-Flashlight-Flashlights-Water-resistant-Accessories/dp/B089T8HDBV/ not once, and he is totally delighted with the quality of their shipping services. Do you think I should consume my torch there or would it be better to visit other websites in order to find the best variant for me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got mine at Walmart for $17. You can also find them at Home Depot and lots of other stores as well as Amazon. I like everything about it but mostly I like that is has the red light for night vision. Energizer makes a wide variety of headlamps to choose from. https://www.energizer.com/lighting/headlights#vhdplh I have two of those tactical flashlights. One is rechargeable and the other isn't. They are sold under many names and have subtle differences. I think my rechargeable one is waterproof. They are both very bright but would be heavy to use on a detector. I do most of my shopping on Amazon these days. Very happy with their services. Especially the super easy return policy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonLan Posted November 17, 2020 Share Posted November 17, 2020 Thanks a lot for your time and answer Badger, it's very useful indeed! Thank you once again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinclair Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 I use a Blackdiamond headlamp (model "Spot") for years now. It still works great and shows no sign of use, although I use it A LOT, since I hunt at night / in the evening 80-90%. It offers dimming, redlight, has a neat touch "high beam" feature.. Honestly I don't know what I'd do without it! I own two earlier revisions of this lamp, didn't try the newest iteration or the 4xAAA version, yet.
