Does anyone have suggestions on what to look for in a feeder light? Any recommended products on the market?

If you want to get out cheap, Walmart has an 8 pack of solar powered yard lights for $20. Tie wrap them to your feeder legs and T-posts around the fence. Eight of them give off a decent amount of light.

Would the solar powered motion activated lights spook the hogs when the light came on? I think it would be perfect if it doesn't spook them. Anyone use them for hogs?

The hogs will get used to it over time. You could always go get some clear red tape at the auto parts store, the stuff for temporarily repairing tail lights. Tape over the bulb and you have a red light.

Lights flashing on will spook hogs.Get a marine 12 volt battery and 12 volt solar panel and find the lights you and and find a 12volt dusk till dawn switch.Alittle work a pays off in the long run.

i bought a set of 3 lights + solar panel at home depot. They come on at dusk, turn off at sunrise (though by morning they are very dim).
In the evening the lights are normally on before the pigs show up, and it does not seem to bother them. They come on every night, whether i'm hunting or not so they are use to it.
I think i paid 35.00. they come with flat brackets and ground stakes, i just used self tapping screws and mounted everything to the barrel.
