Thread: Rifle lights........

For night pest destruction on private property I have been using a variety of lights on my rifles. Some are rifle mounted, some are headlamps like Lenser H 14's.
One thing I have noticed is that LED lights pick up all sorts of foreign crap floating in the air. ( Pollen, moisture etc) As an experiment I dragged out my 30yr old rifle mounted 'Lifelite' spot lamp and immediately noticed 2 main advantages......

1. Being a soft yellow light any animals picked up continued to look at the light instead of turning away.
2. Even in rain and fog, visibility of objects in the light improved drastically and there was a resulting lack of glare being reflected back on the 'shooter'.
I normally dont shoot beyond ranges of 75-100m and have now reverted to using the Lifelite as my go to light for shooting, reserving the LEd's for walking and general light.

Just wondering if others have had the same experience.

Here are a couple of boars shot using the lifelite last week.......when lit up both of them continued feeding and the light didnt bother them at all........others seen the same night immediately ran for the hills when lit up with led/cree chip lights.........Maybe they simply regarded the lifelite as a full moon......
