    now after repairing over 1200 led "hunting lights" as well as HID, halogen etc there is a reason. halogen and HID have a huge infra red spectrum which especially on rabbit makes them stare down the beam and startled. i did some tests and put an IR filter on a led light and my night vision just wouldnt know if it was switched on or not.
    i just fitted a single IR LED to a 7 LED spotlight for a customer and he says it works wonders.
    i could go into it further but most people would think its a boring subject. PM me if you want more info

    How would a red LED go compared to to a std white one? I see some red LED lights for sale online
    And what about a filter on a white LED light will it make any difference
    BC doesn't matter, until you need to dial
