I have been looking into getting an LED light for my bow sights. I am using the Trophy Ridge Matrix sights that a few years old and doesnt have a place for a light. I already have my feeder light rig figured out, but have not found anything for my bow yet. I hunt out of a ground blind and have hogs coming in every night right at dark or after dark. Wanted to see if anyone had one or could recommend one. Or pictures of your setup. Thanks

I have seen the hawg lights and like them, but I already have a red light rigged to my feeder. I just need an LED to light up my pins.

do you mean a light to light up your pins that mounts in the sight ring?

Or, do you want a spot light like the Hawg Light?

You can buy a universal light system for your sights, only if your sights can have lights. Depends on your model and make of your sights.

All I did is, I found a light that has a "flex tube" at Academy for $10. It clips on my sight pin bracket and I bend the light tube to shine down on my pins.
But being in a ground blind, I would cover the light with a piece of elect tape and punch a pin hole in it so it doesn't light up the inside of your blind. Works great for me!!

My sights dont have a place for an LED on the sight ring. So I wanted something that was universal fit to my bow or just rig something like sqiggy. I just want it for lighting up my pins.

Go by a Academy and look in their archery section. They have gone up since I bought one. They are about $14.99 now, I think. It will be all you need.

I went and bought some of those thill lights that people use to make these lighted arrow nocks. Got a green one and used some zip ties to secure it to my riser. It points right at my pins and works great. Not too much light but more than enough. Cheap too.

Found the truglo led light with adapter for my trophy ridge sights. Talk about a huge difference. Academy had if for 12 bucks the only problem being that the batteries were dead so I had to buy some more. Completely lights up my sights for zero visibility to 100%. Now I just need to thwack a hog this weekend in low light.
