I found two web sites in the US that had it listed. One of them had only a phone number for contact info. The other had an email address also but he said he no longer sold the light.

Has anyone else ever ordered their Predator Light over the phone? I called the number listed on the websight this morning and I got an answering machine. I followed the directions and left my name and number saying that I would like to purchase a light. No one ever called me back.
I try to keep in mind that this might be a home-based operation and perhaps they are out of town or were busy with more important matters so I will hold my judgement before I cry lousy customer service.
If someone has any input that would be great. Otherwise I will take my $340 for the light and accessories and buy something else. It just seems like if they were going to be out for an extended period of days they would have said so in the message.
ive talk to matt on the phone a few times
if he didnt pick up,he called wright back

I already ordered a Kill Light as well, but I want both. I will wait and see if he calls back.
Thanks for the reply.

I've left messages before and they called me back. Try sending them a PM here on the forum, they were good about replying to that as well. I love the Predator Light, it's tough as nails and has been submerged in water and keeps on going. I just made a shroud for mine and a nice head mount setup that will be handy for scanning. I just ordered a XL250 Kill Light today and have high hopes that it'll solve my solo night hunting light issues.

Someone called me back tonight.
I ordered the light, the neck lanyard, the winter hat, the ball cap, the pop cover, the scope mount and the car charger. Figured if I'm going to go, might as well go all out.
Should ship out Friday and be here about Tuesday of next week.
My E-call is set for delivery on Monday and my Kill Light should be here Friday or Monday as well.

[beeep] yes. I like a man that jumps in with both feet. Never liked the timid type.
Awesome!

bobeano, You can night hunt during gun week. Just need to make sure ya have a Furtakers permit and not hunt from 1/2 hr before sunup to sunset. I'm heading out here in a lil bit.
CORRECTION: bobeano. You are correct we cannot hunt coyotes at nite during gun week BUT fox and coon are still game on during gun season with a fur taker permit. Sean
ps I went out for a little bit 2 stands didn't call zip ( neighbors cats don't count). I just got my Silent Halo Sheild, dang it works good.I consider the halo shield a necessity on a Predator lite. Good Luck. Sean

Lancaster is 31 miles SE of Columbus.
192 miles SW of Youngstown.
192 miles SW of Youngstown.
From the old thread- http://www.predatormastersforums.com/for...0606&page=3
So here goes some pictures-
Light beam from Predator Light
You can see the center of the beam and the surrounding bright halo. Outside of that the light is not intense. Should cut through fog, Rain and snow well.
Predator Light on top, 12 volt 5100 style head on bottom
You can see the 5100 yellow light seems brighter than the LED light. The LED light casts a blue tint to the light, not as harsh on the eyes. Gives the impression the light is not as bright.
Next three pictures show the Predator Light shined in the same spot as the 5100 12 volt light. You can see the center spot of the predator light is brighter than the 5100 light as you can see the LED light over the top of the 5100 light.
The center beam on the predator light carries focused much better than the 5100 style head and it appears that the 5100 style head is brighter because the light halo is huge and wastes a lot of light, it lights up everything from 5 feet in front of me out to the target. When I point the Predator light at something everything in front of me is very dim and the focused spot travels to the target and lights it up better than the spot from the 5100 head. I can point both lights at my barn, 100 yards away and have the same results, the Predator Light is brighter and shines over the 12 volt 5100 style light in the same way the pictures show. Just can't get the camera to pick it up at the distance. Hope this helps, I'll have it out tomorrow night and see how long it likes to run. Let me know what you think and I'll try to answer what I can.

I have all but given up on my Predator Light and will begin looking at something else.
To recap: I called them last Monday morning and left a message. Two days later someone called me back and took my order. He said he would call me back the next day with a total and he never did. He also said it would ship on Friday.
Here it is the next Wednesday and I still haven't gotten the follow up call and my debit card has still not been charged.
If 10 days isn't enough time, then I don't know what is. I would think in today's economy that a customer wouldn't have to beat a company over the head to get them to take money.
If they were out of stock or something it would be different, as long as they were at least trying to communicate with me. It's their utter lack of giving a [beeep] that has me disgruntled.
