I just saw a baseball cap at the TrueValue Hardware store with two small lights imbedded in the front part of the bill, with the on/off switch located at the size adjustment tongue...pretty cool. I've never hunted at night but will certainly give it a try once it warms up a bit more. We're still in the mid 30's at night up here. I'm thinking that a spotlight might draw unwanted attention to yourself..lol. I think the idea is to be discreet.
I've got dollar store clip on lights that I attach to my arm band, and then
aim at the display, which also lights up the ground I'm searching.
But I actually don't hunt much at night.. I like it better in the day when I
can see what I'm doing without having to flashlight my holes..

I seldom need it because my ProPointer gives me enough light for what I need.
However, I have a small lazer pointer I bought at WalMart. It has two buttons, one for the lazer
and another button for the brilliant LCD light it emits. Because the LCD light gives off a wide beam,
I rolled up a heavy piece of paper several times around it. This focus's the light into more a straight
beam and does not attract as much attention as a light on ones hat might do. I use it ONLY when I'm
not sure of how deep the target reading is or if I want to shine it on the coil when I'm pen pointing. Sometimes
I use it to shine into the hole but more times than not my pro pointer works just fine.
I really don't use the lazer/lcd light much at all as I can pin point well by just listening to the sound when
my coil passes over the target. I've never had a problem finding the target or digging it at night. You just
get used to the sound. Most of the targets I dig in the park are about 2 inches so my pro pointer helps me locate it
immediately by probing the ground. If it doesn't go off then I re-pinpoint with the coil and know I'll have to dig
about 3 to 4 inches. Unless its pitch black where you are, you won't need to use much by way of light. When I DO use the light
I make it very quick so I won't attract any attention.
Funny, I used to say I'd never hunt at night but now here I am doing it. Go figure.
