Red vs Green Lights???

Red with dimmer capabilities. Predators eyes show up very well with red lights. The intensity of the light is what scares animals away or what makes them check up while coming to a call. It's how you use the light and set up for predator hunting with a light. Just remember it doesn't take much light to make their eyes show.

JMHO! Red, Red, Red.....I use a wicked 403 with a grip handle for spotting. Wide halo and the end cap has an adjustable dimmer. Great lights for the price and very durable. And "coyote light" for rifle mount. But pricy! Good luck. Regards, Drop

I have heard good things about Wicked lights but I personally use the Coyote Reaper from Predator Tactics. You can buy a kit that comes with a Green LED and Red LED, they are easily interchangeable and it is a solid light. Zoomable light and you can customize your kit to whatever mounts you want to use. Check out their website www.predatortactics.us

Red, green, or white, which is best? Many times if you ask 3 people you'll get 3 different recommendations. Advantages and disadvantages with all colors. As already mentioned by TXMAC most lights can have the led module removed and replaced with a different color if you would like to experiment and see what works best for your particular situation.
We are releasing a new model which features all three commonly used colors in one, The A67 which features a patent pending 3-In-1 center axis rotational LED system that allows you to change/select between red, green, & white while maintaining zero in your scope.
The advantage of the A67 is now you can change colors in less then a second, tailor the light color selected to the particular target species, stand location, shooting distances, animal reactions, etc. It also features a full intensity control rheostat tail cap and the ability to power the light on instantly at any intensity level you desire. It also has extreme long range, spot to flood zoom/focus capabilities, full adjustable scope mount, etc..

Eric,
Wicked Hunting Lights Is it the same size and weight as the 403ic? Thanks!

I went to night vision about 12 years ago...prior to that I used lights. I found that fox get to know the color and I would have them hang up or just not get close enough or come out for a shot after using the red lens for a while. Then I tried green and they would come in again. Eventually they would sort of get used to that and I had to go back to red. I believe if you are going to use lights you should have both. If I went to an area and killed a fox I continued to use the same color when I went back. If I saw one but didn't kill it then I would switch the next time. Didn't always work 100%, but most of the time it did. Go back and read tking's post above...he is spot on. I found that it didn't matter what color I used if I shined it right into their eyes I was done. I had to keep the light dimmed and only have the animal in the halo or outer edges of the light. I have a little Photon Microlight that is blue for walking in and out of my stands...never spooked one yet. Maybe they have blue filters by now...might even try that. Good luck!!!

Dropadoglv,
Very similar to the W403 (aprox 1/4 inch longer and 1/10 oz heavier).
Also have a version for the night vision IR users which has 940nm, 850nm, and white/red for recovery.

Procyon (AKA - brightest star in the constellation of Canis Minor),
The patent pending rotational LED system allows for possible new models & new announcements in the future.
Our NEW Full Intensity Control "ScanPro IC" wich uses the W403/A48 LED releases in approx 2 weeks.
