I have a 200 lumen surefire light and can see plenty good out to 250-300 yards with it. It is white though... not sure how a red one would do.

I have the XLR250 Kill Light in green. It's an LED that you can mount to your scope with a pressure switch. There's also an on/off switch as well as a push button on the end for use as a flashlight. It can shine well out past 250 yards. Pretty amazing light IMO. You can get it in red,green,blue or white. Made by Elusive Wildlife. Good luck in your search and let us know how it turns out.

or i found a lumaforce lf1 that is 300 lumens

[fr3db3ar]

I bought a Noxx Red Dagger that is over 12,000 candelas. I have absolutely no idea how that translates to lumens, but this thing will easily distinguish an animal out at 100 and light up eyes as far as I can see at night.

Hey Fred, did you and Zach take that out the other night or did you just use your other new toy ?

[fr3db3ar]

I did take it out and I love it. I just took the night vision off the WMR last night and installed my illuminated scope with this light attached. I just ordered their red headlamp yesterday. I'll let you know how it works.

I talked with them via e-mail. They are working on a green version and also a pressure switch for them.

What did this cost (if I can ask) and do you have a link ?

[bones44]

Sweet. Good luck !

Each was $55 and change shipped. Just search google for Noxx lights.

High guys, new to this sight and Predator calling in general. We are located in SE Ohio and hunt almost all woods and hills with a few reclaimed AEP lands thrown in. Problem is everyone around here hunts those same areas. Makes for sneaky dogs so night time has become a way of life if you're going to hunt here. I have the Primos 350 yard scope light on my .243 which really lights up the target with just the red lense. Don't really have to switch over to white lite other than to light up a dead dog for retrieval. I also have a simple head light with a red bulb option that works great for spotting eyes out to at least 100 yards and is good for shooting at around 50 yards. The lower power helps to keep from scaring off those educated dogs. Great for walking in at night too. Found mine for $5.50 online from a chinese ebay guy. Anyway hope to see more useful postings here on PT and am going to turn my buddies on to it. Anyone from Ohio wants to join our club can see us at South Eastern Ohio Coyote Hunting Club at Facebook. Thanks and hope to talk at y'all later.

[z7master167]

Lowed sales a kobalt flashlight and it is 500 lumes and it cost $74.00 after taxes and it is super freaking bright. With a red lense it will shine good enough to make an animal oit at 200 yds and with hteen lens it is about 300-350 and a white light geeze idk, by the way i had to make the lenses myself

[badbowtie614]

I got my light from gadgettown its 1300 lumen good to 300m and will do every bit of it ordered my scope mount for it from apcalls for $20 i have since found the same mount on ebay for $8 shipped. Also you can get the light and batterys w charger on ebay also they have all different lumens on there for really cheap. They r nice lights i ordered a second light and batterys from ebay to have as a backup light.
