Do you know how to wire a tape switch to the tailcap ?
I had a tape switch on a laser sight once, didn't like it (another thing to fail - and it did fail) I prefer a direct switch. I dont know how to fit a tape switch to a Tiablo but a toggle switch on a lead would be an alternative and be easier to setup, I think. I have fitted a better switch to my Tiablo as the stock one failed (ran 1.6 amps through it)
Have you thought of using orange - much better range than red and still wont disturb the quarry - well maybe !
Yes, We've tested yellow vs red on foxes & deer and found red to be far less disturbing thus more succesful. I preffer not to use bright light for pest control work & have in the last few become very accustomed to shooting with low light levels, bright light tends to push the animal further out
Below are pics of the 2 lights we use, the Dereelight has a yellow Hoya Y2 filter fitted, the Tiablo has a red Cree Q2 led
When I get around to it I'll email Allan at Dereelight to enquire whether he can supply 3SD modules with red leds fitted, this will be my best solution
Edit: I forgot to mention, I have ran the red led at 1.2 amps continuosly without any adverse effects (however I fried my first red Cree at 2 amps:shakehead)
