Who needs night vision when you have these?!?

OK, some of us cannot afford night vision and still want to hunt at night so here are some options, I will recheck my links before I post. All my lights use the 18650 rechargeable batteries, either the 3000 or 5000 MaH rated. Some of the vendors are in China, so you are buying direct using Pay pal...listed are only vendors I have used and been pleased with and got my gear.

Elusive Wildlife Weapons Kill lights are really nice My Clone is the very same light they buy for much cheaper.

Please note you can buy the different color emitters here too.

Next:
These are about $10 each are about 240 lumens and are good for spotting, bows and just really light weight needs
or pick the one you want for a white flashlight
check ebay for the 120-140-240 lumen green/red LED lights or look here for them and great flashlights

Headlamps, I love a great head lamp, these are 1700 lumen and one zooms the other does not they light up the night, great for tracking or processing, have a hi, low, flashing

I also use a solar motion light at my feeder locations and basically I can shoot w no weapon mounted kill light at 50-60 yds. Since they come on a off all the time it acclimates hogs to lights coming on. These are placed 30-60' from my feeders facing away from where I am shooting from.

This is the cheapest good one I use and some have been in the field 2 years and are still working

A brighter one but of course costs more:

I have and use all the above listed products so if you need more detail write or call and I will pass on any info and experience I have.

Do you know if the tail caps from EW will fit on these lights? I need the tail cap that threads onto my bow with the pressure switch. These prices are so good I can get a light for each weapon.

I am pretty sure they do can verify tomorrow, I think all parts are interchangeable.

Did you ever get a chance to check the tail cap fittings?

FrankT · Jun 5, 2014

Sorry I forgot, it is sorta weird as the batteries sit differently in the bodies and the EW body is shorter but each cap fits and works on each light

I use a moonshine motion sensor light attached to a two by four buried in the ground about two feet. The light is about a foot off the ground and four feet away from the feeder and a twelve bulb led remote activated feeder light. Both are green. I highly recommend the moonshine light it has by far the best light up range of any motion sensor light I've ever bought it's only short coming is its trigger range there is a reason I have it set only four feet from the feeder hint hint.
But once activated you can clearly see twenty to twenty-five yards and I mean CLEARLY.

djones · Sep 7, 2016

frankieT is sort of a flashlight expert, but his bulb is getting dimmer.

FrankT · Sep 8, 2016

DJ, bulb is still bright just older...lol

All my feeders have a solar motion LED light or 2 illuminating the area around to include the roll barrel, you can easily use your day scope to hunt these areas at night

Great thread! Just my .02¢. A good source for various Li-Ion batteries, including 18650, and chargers has been vape shops. The local Battery+ was kinda limited while the vape shop had the Panasonic batteries and a good selection of chargers.

no nv is just an excuse. i've hunted them with everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink.

FrankT · Sep 9, 2016

That was the point I made, you do not need thousands of dollars of NV/Thermal to hunt hogs

LOL... Just as funny as the first time I saw that clip. Pig-whackin' at it's best right there.

I buy my LED flash lights from lightmalls Amazon also. My green light is mounted on my .270 and will light up a hog up to 200 yds. The key is to lower the gun slowly so there is not a sudden burst of bright light on thepig. If done properly, they will act as if there is no light at all giving plenty of time for a shot. I have also found that the large mature and smart hogs will usually avoid a feeder light, staying back in the shadows and that is why I am now using a Sightmark Photon IR scope. When the small young ones run into the light I will scan the darkness for momma. Use this approach with your gun mounted LED also. Just remember to lower the gun slowly.....

I used Lightmalls too a great selection at the right price

Use hi-etech or gearbest to get those same lights for dirt cheap. I have a drawer full of super bright flashlights have never paid more than about 8.00 for one and they rival the lights you can buy anywhere for much more. My wife says I have a problem. Actually just bought 8 more at less than $3 each and they are super bright. They come with aaa battery holders at that price but also use 18650 batteries for a brighter light. Color the lens with a green Sharpie and your all set, it really works as good as a green lens but you can clean it off with some alcohol if you want to later.

This is the green light I have on my .270 and Mosin Nagant.

you get this one? I have 4 in the field and after 2 years just had to replace the battery pack on the oldest.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0052SF0LO/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I am wondering what this is going to do to my new night vision??

Frank these throw white light correct? No spook? I was doing a search here looking into motion activated green lights to hook on the feeder, but dang if white light works....
