Need advice on the best red led flashlight for coyote hunting at night. will have to have good throw and bright enough for a shooting light at 50 yards and under.
 
Solarforce has a P60 dropin that does 225 lumens in RED.

You can find it under their listing for 4-18v bulbs.

Use 7090 XR-E WC R2 Cree Led

- Provide 225 Lumens output

Your mileage may vary, but for me, it would work out to 30 yards, but my night vision is not what it used to be.
 
Illuminationgear have a custom red LED option for the Eagletac T100C2, or the Eagletac P20A2 MkII can take a red dropin (same seller).

Customlites do a red XP-E version of the Solarforce M3 turbohead. I built my own, and you can shoot past 100m with this setup.

The red Solarforce dropins are nowhere near 225 lumens in my experience and lack a bit in throw unless you go to a smooth reflector and aspheric lens.

Longest throw red light would probably be the Dereelight Night Master or Xsearcher with a red pill.

I hunt foxes with red lights - hence my interest. :) [h=1][/h]
 
My advice go to a gun shop and discuss your needs,most gun shops have hangers on so you will be spun a few good yarns but you should get some good usable advice.

The SolarForce dropin is driven at 1 amp, so it should generate 225 LED lumens. I guess out the front it will be in the 180 lumen range.

That Customelites modified M3 should throw better. They don't state what it is driven at though.
 
The M3 pill I made has a 1.4 amp driver and throws well. And I can change back to the white xm-l in seconds. :)
