Headlamp Guide with J.R. Wadkins of Razor Hunting Gear

Updated: Dec 13, 2024




Choosing the right coon hunting light can be overwhelming, with so many options available. To simplify the process, we’ve turned to headlamp expert J.R. Wadkins of Razor Hunting Gear for insights. Razor Lights, designed by coonhunters for coonhunters, have been setting the

standard since 2018. Combining exceptional performance, comfort, and durability, Razor Lights are built to withstand night after night of rigorous use.




How bright should a coon hunting light be?


Modern hunting lights typically use LEDs with similar brightness levels. What sets Razor Lights apart is their use of natural-tint LEDs, which make spotting coons in the trees easier. For quick

identification, look for headlamps with simple switches that allow seamless light adjustments.











What are the features of a good light?

When selecting a hunting headlamp, prioritize these key features:


● Lightweight Design: A lighter headlamp reduces strain during extended hunts. Razor

Hunting Gear specializes in crafting lightweight lights for added comfort.

Easy-to-Use Switch: Simplicity is critical in the field. Razor’s single-switch mechanism allows fast and efficient adjustments without unnecessary clicks.

Durability: With proper care, a high-quality headlamp can last 8–10 years. Razor uses

4-volt lithium rechargeable batteries that are designed to last as long as the light itself.




Cost Considerations

Investing in a high-quality headlamp is essential for serious hunters. Razor Hunting Gear offers

options tailored to various needs:


For Serious Hunters: Expect to pay up to $370 for top-tier performance and longevity.

For Beginners: A reliable entry-level light can be found for around $200.


Razor’s latest model, the Razor Z1, is ideal for competition hunters, featuring a Super Natural Spot and the same intuitive single-switch design that Razor is known for.
