Night hunting light

Lolaralph · Nov 26, 2011

A friend of mine asked me about building him a red hunting light, I tried the easy way, a red filter over a 2.8 amp XM-L mag mod, the red filter killed the output. I saw that some Cree red LEDs are available, they don't allow very high amps, and are not too great of output. I saw some companies sell red and green "kill lights" so something must work, any ideas?

This thread maybe of some interest to you. Wrong color but this was also suppose to be for hunting.

There are a number of threads on this topic.

Easiest way to build one that's good for about 120m of throw is to get a P60 host like a Solarforce L2, the red single mode Solarforce dropin, put a smooth reflector on it (available from Dealextreme) and change the flat glass lens out for a 28mm aspheric to collimate the beam tightly. Lens also from Dealextreme. That's what I've done with mine - used for shooting foxes.
