I have done several different ways..I will try to explain them the best I can.

1 Buy a 3 pack of lawn rechargeable lights..use baling wire & tie then to the top of the feeder legs..you might take them apart & add some tin foil to help make them a little brighter....They are kinda dull but usable..they dont stay bright all night either.

2 this one I use from a tripod take a dimmer/light switch from an old chevy parked out in the yard on blocks...run wires from a trailer brake light mounted on your feeder over to your tripod. Run the wires up high..or bury in PVC if hunting from a ground blind. hook to a car battery that is hooked to a solar charger to keep it charged. when the pigs come in make the light a little brighter so you can see them in your sites then whack them

3 goto hawglite.com & pick up a Marauder it screws right into the stabilizer hole..It is bright

Hog,

Check out the ones Ihave in the help you kill tips section. Ihave made them for less than 50 bucks.

I have been using some lights that I bought from Walmart. Solar power and best of all only $20 for a pair of them. Lawn lights like BAR said. Not very very bright but with your scope on the hog it shows up perfect
