Feeder light deal alert

[texast224]

Solar powered light at Harbor Freight on sale for $23, used a 20% off coupon so all in sub $19. Will need to add colored plastic for red light.

Nice

30 lumens is very little light and if you put a red cover over it you will knock it way down. LED white lights put out very little red light and a red cover will only let red light through so you will have less then ten lumens with a red cover. I think you just wasted $20.

I would run it without the red filter, they will get used to it pretty quick if its on every night

I run the 6 dollar led walkway lights from Walmart with no filter and it doesn't bother the hogs or coons in floresville they got used to it

Red, or green is over rated. I have hunted with red, green, and clear lights. If they associate the light with danger than as soon as you flick any light hogs scatter. Trick is to leave it out there. I do that with a solar feeder light. After a fewdays most of the hogs don't spook to the light but I have noticed the older bigger ones stay in the shadows and don't come out into the clear light. At least where I hunt and they get pressured heavily.

Red is the only color that keeps working here. I've tried green and (very dim) white. They don't even flinch with red. Ours are very pressured..

Or here is even a cheaper option. Thinking you just need enough light to highlight a silhouette, but not enough light to spook anything. For less than $7 with coupon might be worth the chance. Or put two out on other side of the feeder.

I did those. I got them from biglots for $7 a pair. I had 4 on a feeder and it was just barely enough to tell what was there. On nights with a lot of moon, you couldn't even tell they were on. But dark nights in the bow stand or with nightvision they helped a lot.

Didn't last too long though..

Yep--learned this about 5 years ago--put the lights up with photocells, and they come on at dark and stay on 'til the batteries get low (6-8 hours). Put your game cam out and keep track on the times the hogs show, and be in your seat waiting for them.

Just position the lights so they point from you towards the feeder and not in your eyes or from left/right (shadows are confusing if you are using a rifle from 100 yds away).

Okay good to know.

I just put one of these lights out like the original OP posted. I am going to check the game camera this weekend.
