Interested in getting y'alls opinion on a good affordable light for bow hunting hogs at night. I do not want to spend tons of money, looking for reviews and what works well from 35 yards and in. My eyes are crap at night so the brighter the better, would like a green or red lens too. Thanks!

Have used this one and it works well, though the one review is bad, know several that have the lights and love them

Was drinking beer with my neighbor and brought this up. Being a electrical engineere he said I'll bring some stuff home Monday. Monday he had a bag full of 3 watt LED's weatherproof and little. I'll post up what we did on the first on but it works well. I use 3 of them per feeder for 9 watts total and a low amp draw too. You can add a photo cell and solar charger so it works every day or put a switch on it.

I have a small flashlight zip tied to my stabilizer. I come to full draw and then hit the tail cap button with my pinky.

I made one once with a mag light had the back drilled out for a bold that bolted to the stabilizer threads, it worked great!

Took it out once and a heard of about 40 rather large pigs showed up and I was on the ground. I backed out gently and decided to never hunt pigs in the dark that close ever again. clap

My hunting buddy has 5k tied into night vision for his AR-10, but we still haven't used it in a year.
