Easiest Spotlight Hood?

[Weasel-UT]

This may be the easiest hood yet. I bought a couple of foam sheets at the craft store. It's Creative Hands # 15200-55 black foam sheet. It's 12"x18". You'll need two sheets for most spotlights. Duct-tape the two pieces together and wrap it around your spotlight. Duct-tape it in place and you're ready to hunt. It weighs next to nothing, cushions the front edge of the light, is quiet and my favorite; CHEAP! Here's a link to an on-line store: http://www.sunshinecrafts.com/search.php I think any craft or hobby store should have it though. Oh, and no more looking all over for a can, bucket or whatever that will fit your light. Wrap it, tape it and hunt!

Thanks Weasel, that sounds like it's worth trying.

If your light does not get real hot. Try a 2" or wider knitted head band. We bought a couple of these last year for ear warmers for my daughter. If light gets extremly hot this will not work so please use caution / common sense if trying this. Don't want to start any fires!

Tarpaper. I cut some and taped it on my Lightforce with camo tape. Used it for first time last night, worked great.....
