What spotlights does everyone use to varmit hunt with? I have a few and I'am looking to buy a new one. Looks like most mfg. are going to rechargable style. I have an optronics varmit light that is mounted on my gun. I'am looking for a hand held to spot with.

Low Candle power 500,000 max. We put a tube and gotta have the red lense

re-chargies suck...we use the q-beams & i forgot the other...we use red & amber lenses....we also have a pigtail clip so that you can just use a charged up batter in the bed of the truck rather then running it OFF you truck...extra long cord helps too

I understand all of that. But what brand. If its not rechargable it is getting hard to find.

Cyclops 3.5 mil comes with red lense. Can be ordered from Cabelas $25. Never had the light bother a varmint coming in and here around Ft. Stockton, it's nice to be able to see more than 100 yds.

I use a million candle power for deer.....oh wait nevermind!!

psycho has a point there. terrain palys a big part in it. some if the cedar breaks that i hunt you cant see tht far, thats why i choose to dim down, but if i could see a ways then i might go to a stronger light. even with the 1 mil i have i can see 200 yds at times.

Q-beam varmint special is a good light I have one that is 8 years old and it works great.

However, I currently use LiteForce lights. They are lighter weight and just an all around better light. You can get them handhold or gun mount. I prefer the 170 model but the 140 works well too. They are a bit pricier than the Q-beam but I think they are well worth it.
Just my .02

I have the cyclops 3.5mil also and works great, it's recharagable and has a wide beam switch and a low beam switch, and came with a red lens. Has a cord to charge at home and one to charge/use from a cig lighter/power point in the truck.

Works great and wassn't that expensive.

I hunt wide open fields and 500,000 aint no good. You'd have to wait till they got right up to the truck to shoot them. I use a 2 million and don't have problems, just don't put the light directly on them. Keep it above them until you shoot

Liteforce here. My buddy has two of them.

cyclops 3.5mil and q-beams is all i use neather recharge runs off truck batterie

I use a 500,000 Q beam without a red lense.. and it works fine... Just don't shine the light right on them.... Shine it above them and the outside halo will light up there eyes just fine... red lense seems to restrict my light too much.

i got one from orilies auto parts for 25 bucks its a rechargable with 4 aa batterys and its good for 1 hour its like 4 led in it

Man yall use some big light you tryin to burn the hair off or what?You can pick up a set of eyes 200 yards off with a AA flashlight.I use a q beam varmit special 200,000 which is plenty of light, use a red lense and when you get em range pop it off and let the air out of em.

qbeam 200,000 with shield

i use the q beam varmint special, great spot light and not too bright... but this year we got 2 light-force spotlights and they are GREAT. But they are a lil high dollar.. but you can't go wrong with the varmint special

+1 on Qbeam

I use a Surefire G2 for spotlighting pigs!
Works great but take extra batteries.

+2 Q-Beam

I use a Golight remote controlled spotlight (5,000,000 candlelight) with red lense hooked to a Optima Deep Cycle Battery. Check it out here: Golight Turn it on or off and put the beam where you like from up to 50 yards away from your set up. It also mounts to the truck for mobile operations. In the thick briars and brush we hunt in, you need all the light you can get.

I use a q-beam 500 cp plugged into a battery pack that is used to jumpstar a car i have never had it go dead in a night. these things are cool they have ac and dc plugs, just a little heavy

qbeams hard wired at truck and lightforce 140 for remote locations,we put reostats on all lights so we can dim them down on light shy varmints
