I'm looking for a hog light, normal flashlight, not mounted to a tree or anything for spotting hogs at closer than 100 meters.
After reading up a bit here on CPF I have these options:

Olight M20 Crimson
Solarforce L2 with red or green drop-in
EagleTac T20C2 MKII with cree xp-e green led

The Eagletac looks like a nice option if 182 lumens are not too powerful. It's going to be used down to 30-40 yards and I don't want to scare the pigs and if red light is preferrable to green the Olight looks nice too. Seems like most people use green led, but then others are saying red is better so I'm not sure, I think I'm leaning towards red. All recommendations are appreciated, also for other lights than the three listed.
 
EagleTac G25C2, very bright. Order it with YRGB filter kit. You will have all the colors and can experiment as to what is best for your application.
 
Filters blow on led flashlights except for close work. White leds just don't filter well. Olight is as good as any RED Cree is going to get without going to a custom build. On customs you have the DIY or using one of the fine builders on CPF. Nailbender is one that gets mentioned for color SST90 emitters. Jayrob has fine PT54 red emitter build. Do a search on here for more.
