There are many different types of headlamps available to hunters. There are reactive headlamps, Cree XPE LED headlamps, Black Diamond Storm 400s, and Petzl Tikkinas. You may also consider headlamps that have rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable headlamps can be heavier than regular ones and require four AA batteries for operation. We will be talking about different types of headlamps. Which ones are best for hunting?
Reactive headlamps increase battery life
Reactive headlamps prolong the battery's life by switching from bright white to red light. This allows for night vision to be preserved. All three lighting modes can be adjusted to adjust the intensity of the light. As the battery gets close to its end, the reserve battery feature lights up for approximately an hour at 25 Lumens. Reactive headlamps are also good at preserving battery life, but some people are unhappy about the extra brightness.
Reactive headlamps usually last three times as long than regular ones. The MyPetzl tablet and smartphone app is the basis of these headlamps. You can set the headlamp to last up to ten hours, thereby extending the life of the battery. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to control reactive headlamps from your smartphone or tablet.

A tree stand, another type deer blind, is also available. Tree stands look natural and are so natural that nobody would be able to tell they exist. Most tree stands can be permanently attached to trees.
