Best one I’ve used is the streamlight protac hl3. Pair that with an attachment that hooks up to your ar 15 rail.

I bought a Cyclops unit from Cabela's. It was $129.00 at the time and I still use it in some scenarios. I also own night vision and thermal.

Check out Wicked Lights very affordable. I've been using the A48 ambush light in red lense . Been very happy with it.

Was looking at the night eyes gl350 but the one I see only comes with one lense, how far can you see with that wicked light??

Cant go wrong with wicked for gun mounted. I have 3 of them atm and they all have served me well.

If you are looking for a handheld. light force there is no better light period.

All depends on so many factors. With a white light zoomed in 300 is very doable. IMHO no one should be shooting past that at night. You will get about 250 with green and 200 on red. Cloud cover or clear skies is a factor as well. I have sold about 30 of them and never heard a complaint about them and have had many a predator in them.

Tagging.  Are you using these to scan or just a kill light?

It’ll be for both until I buy a second one.

Well good question,  I have a hay field behind the house and its 900 + yards to the fence and I've seen reflective eyes when zoomed out near the fence . Not that i would take a shot that far away..With using wide angle maybe out to 250.

not so sure about that. You ever used the Larson electronics. Never seen any other handheld compare to it.

I found this spotlight for use looking around my property at night for predators.man is it a bright concentrated beam of light. And less than $50. (BIGSUN Q953 10000mAh Rechargeable Spotlight 6000 Lumen LED Flashlight, Foldable Tripod and Strap, Wall and Car Charger Attachments)

I’m a dealer for them I’ve sold most models. Nothing that’s brand new though if they have anything out for 2020. Haven’t seen a new catalog from them yet.

Heath I have not. I have about 20 brands in boxes in the garage and shop. I hunted in New Zealand the first time and used them came home and dropped 600.00 in lights that’s how good they are. Everyone that’s hunts behind them buys them first chance they get. Next time up come in the evening and we will take”em out. Your wallet won’t like you after the trip lol.

sounds good. I bought my Larson electronics after hunting with a guy who had one. He had the 35 million candle watt. I bought the 50. In the right conditions I can see up to a mile. It wasn’t cheap either. I paid 545.00 for mine.

I have one of these. These are good spot lights. You can also buy different color lenses. I haven't seen anyone else with one, but it works really good. You can. Narrow the beam and widen it by Holding the base and screwing in or out on the lens. If you go to the website, they have many more options.

I have the Optical Dynamics CALS.  It is a very bright white light that doesn't do anything more than a green or red light does when it comes to predator hunting. 
Bright white lights tend to irritate animals after a while and they stop looking.  It advertises that it is a natural light so it doesn't bother animals.  It's LED and there is no LED that is natural light. 
It is high quality and a great flashlight for any purpose, unlike red or green.  It does not use rechargeable batteries and DO NOT use the rechargeable CR123As in flashlights, wrong voltage.
I have not been able to identify a coyote (through a scope) or identified shot placement any better (or further away) with this light over a red or green at a fraction of the cost.
I haven't given up on it, yet.
