[QUOTE="mrbb, post: 2567477, member: 11837"] a light will NOT bother a bear, don;t care HOW bright it is we are legally allowed to use spot lights to spot game and have countless times shined a light into a bears eyes from point blank of say from 5 ft and less to a few hundred yards, using a 1 million plus candle power light it doesn;'t bother them!, might shortly blind them if close enough , but its not deterrent I have a bunch of experience using several different ones at my place and hunting camp ( I actually have 4 different one's in use right now where I am at some brands last longer than others!) the LIGHT would be nice to see what is about, but odds are like other said, the motion from the wind on branches and likes will be tripping it off often, and more it gets tripped the less battery life it will have ! another THOUGHT that might be smaller and easier and CHEAPER to set up would be a cheap drive alarm, that works off motion, same issues with false alarms( and could be worse than just a light going off and on waking you up) , but it will give an audible alert, which MAY get a bears attention, doubt it will scare them off though! batteries on them will last 10 times longer than the solar lights , I have them here and say without out a doubt they will last me a yr plus with a few thousand alerts the brighter the solar lights(more lumen's) the faster they will run out of power over the night! E fence is the ideal set up if you are worried about a bear getting into your tents and immediate area about them! nothing will work better, but good units ain;t cheap, so keep that in mind, , if your buying spend well and get quality,. not the place to be cheap IMO! HAHA< you kind of want it to work! and learn how to set it up correctly at home before you head off, bring extra batteries! and test ALL batteries before taking them with you! just cause they same NEW< doen't mean they are, bad ones get into NEW packages all the time! NOW< I Also, know a few folks that spend a lot of time in remote AK( a couple are remote guides f) < and use fishing string and bells for CHEAP alerts, but that would also come down to if your a LIGHT sleeper or a deeper sleeper, on them working for you! best advice for folks going into bear country, is learn how to be bear smart and what to do, to make your camp NOT attractive to them! storing food and carrying it, cooking, and trash, what to do and NOT do with it! and keep in mind many things a bear will eat you may not think of, like tooth paste and other like items keep all that stuff away from your tents!
