I'm also open to other ideas for lights, the XLR 250 series runs about $140 for 1 color, and $200 for a 3 color combo. Is anybody else out there having success out to 150 to 200yds with anything else on the market that might be cheaper? My goal is to get a decent coyote light for hunting at night and not have to completely break the bank to get it. Any recommendations on something other then an XLR 250? Really it doesnt even need to be scope mountable, but ultimately I would like something that I would be able to mount somehow and not have to hold and shoot.

This is with a standard white lens. Length is 6 1/2 inches and very light to carry. Cost is $35.00 at dealextreme and Northern tool and equipment. :twocents:

I have the Laser Genetics ND3x50 and it might be the coolest thing I have ever seen I can see Coyotes at 500yard. I think I would be comfortable at a 250-300 yard night shot with that light. It is truly
Subzero ?

Don't buy a spot light with several bulbs, you need a direct light not a flood light. And the red (or green) makes a huge difference as it doesn't spook them as much as a regular light would.

Check out dealextreme.com they have the identical lights for a lot less.
Do you have a link?
I ordered the Ultrafire red and it was brighter than my Olight M20 red led, for about a day before it crapped out.

I just picked up a wicked lights kit the other day and so far I am impressed with it. Now mind you, it is not anything like a normal spotlight but it does all that I am looking for. I will run the lightforce and when I spot a critter "if alone" switch to just the wicked light for a shot. I got the white light. It is good to 150-200 on a clear night. The green and red will be a lot less.
I will be picking up 1-2 more depending on how my trials go with this one I just got.
When it comes to red/green white bla bla bla stuff. It really does not matter. I have used them all. If you are running a light in the area when they have been getting pressure, it does not matter what light you hit them with! They are going to run!!!! White light makes for better shooting and you get a lot more range with it. Cats don't like really bright lights in there face. Most of the time they will turn there head away from the lights. Better to use the halo on the outer edge of the light. A red light does work better on cats.

I have had the 250 Kill Light for two years now and it is AWESOME. Get the red lense, there has been reports the green lights are good for hogs, but have spooked some yotes. I also have a Smart Light headlamp with a red lense pop cover. I scan with the head lamp and have the 250 attached to my gun. The headlamp last 20 hours on high, I can see eye WAY out there. It has no cord, the battery pack is on the back of the helmet. It's awesome. I have hunted with guys with the Light Force, really bright but bulky and cords and heavy compared to the Smart Light and 250. No way I would switch even if it was given to me for free, which they are very spendy. I have $250 tied up in both of my lights. If you want to find a really good headlamp, check out the gear section on the UKC Coonhound site, those guys are in the woods almost every night really putting threi lights to the test.
Machias, can you put up some links to those lights?

I checked these out and could not believe what these lights can stand up too. This would be my choice hands down. I never knew these were available or made. :tup: :tup:
