Personally I like the Knock Out lighted knocks, come with 3 sizes of bushings to fit most arrows and can be shot in practice mode where they do not light up and will last several years this way without the batteries dying. Worked well in the easton axis arrows I shoot. Easy to switch from practice to lighted mode.
Picked em up at Jimbows Archery

I have used both Lumenok and Nockturnal. My preference between the two is the Nockturnals. They are much easier to turn off (found myself using my teeth a lot for the Lumenok which wore them out fairly quick). Had a few issues with the lumenok not turning on or flickering.
Go with the nockturnals for ease of use and reliability IMO, just make sure to get the right size.

I have used Nocturnals and Lumenoks. I prefer the lumenok much more than the Nocturnals. The lumenoks are slightly oversize and when trimmed and fitted you get a perfect fit between retention in arrow and ability to turn off. The Nocturnals are fine when warm but found when the temp was minus 15ish and lower the plastic actually shrunk enough to be loose is arrow and fell out.

I've used 4 different types of lighted nocks, and I prefer Nocturnals, by far. They're awesome. Battery life is great, turning on and off is easy, they turn on and stay on every time, and the fit is dependent on buying the correct type. There's several types depending on the arrow, so just make sure you're buying the correct size for you're arrow brand and the fit generally isn't an issue.

Couldn't find nock outs when I was looking for them so settled on ignitor nocks.
So far so good. Great pricing too
Based on the features of the nock out, I'd still love to try them

Most of our crew use Lumennocks and Nocturnals both have pro's and cons.... however both work very well for some shooters choice...others may have issues...
key is having a tuned bow with tuned arrow, some border line tuned bows may show erratic flight from extra weight on back of arrow changing FOC... lighter lighted nocks may work best for many...try with broadhead choice before hunting...

Switched from lumenoks to nocturnals. Nocturnals are alot more user friendly and seem to fit better almost a bit to loose in the shaft
