Sounds like you are using the light the right way, but you are just using the cheaper lights. I know how it is.image Ive been there too. I couldnt justify spending the $$$ on the the lights that are desinged for predator and coon calling-----until I got sick and tired of the cheaper lights failing and experimenting with other cheap lights. If you really like night hunting, take the plunge and invest in a good light. The money that you will spend messing with the other lights will surpass the price of a good light after you are done. I still made some slight mods to my Light Force 170, but it has been a very good light for the past 3 yrs.

It is better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you are not...
