Ive been noticing more and more green lights for sale. Is there a difference between a red and green light? Will the predator be more skitish around one then another. What do you guys prefer?

Red VS Green Lights
- Thread starter forest_parker

Opinions will vary on this, forest parker. Here's mine: at 52 years old I just can't see as well as I used to at night and I do find that a green light seems to allow me to see and ID animals better than a red light. I haven't noticed that the animals are any more skittish around green so for me it makes sense to go with green. For ten bucks you can try out a green LED light and see what you think for yourself. If you like the green, you can upgrade to a more expensive version with a little more throw. The light below is a solid 50 to 75 yard light.

+1. get a red and a green and see which you like better. I bet you'll have no problem selling whichever you don't like. I personally like red better because of what john said. green is too bright for me

Tell ya what I have found if you use green make sure you don't "burn" them shine straight at their face eyes. Only use the halo not the direct light look for eyes to shine back. Once you see eyes give them time to come into range shining with halo every few minutes to track them. Once you can take a shot slowly lower light into them. This is how I have been told and have done without a problem even using green. Now one of my hunting buddies got the same light as me. His first time out with us using his green he burned a Yote and spooked it 3 times. After the third time he got impatient and shot at it in the run. Needless to say anytime I have been out now they are skittish to green. I just switched mine to red now and man it limited my visibility to about 100 yards. I love the green but for now I have to try red. I agree with get both its just an led you can switch in the field. Going out tonight so we'll see if they run from the red light!!!
