Might seem like a dumb question but I've never hunted with a light before. So how well does it work to use a red light with a red dot sight? I'm pretty sure my dot would be brighter than anything reflecting back from a distance, but not sure if the contrast would be good.
Of course, I've tried it with a white light. That's the only color I have already. The red dot works fine. I am led to believe that red light works better for predators, but maybe not everyone agrees? My white light is a handheld which is fine for scanning but I'd need a headlight or weapon light. Should I get it in white?
My understanding is that green is better for hogs that seem to be less sensitive to it. I cannot hunt hogs. There are practically none here or anywhere for a long way, but there are loads of coyotes, and some fox and bobcat. It seems like the green light would be a good contrast to the red dot, but it also seems like green is the least popular or favored with predator hunters.
I kind of like to keep things simple and less costly as well, and one color does that better than three. For use with a red dot sight, is red, white or green better for the scan light and weapon light?
