This topic is being discussed on another forum I read and wanted to see what additional info I could find out and see what others are using. So what do you use, Red Lens, Green Lens, or no lens? I use a 12 volt spotlight with a red lens. I got it at Gander Mountan for about 30 dollars and it is 3 million candle power. I have made my own portable power for it using a rechargeable battery. Since it connects to the cigarette lighter port in the truck I had to make a connection adapter to connect it to the battery. I did not want to modify the light itself so I purchased an extension power supply from Wal-Mart and cut the cigarette plug end off and but on female butt connectors on it to allow it to connet direct to the battery. I can put this in my duffle bag that I carry all mu stuff in and head out to the field very easily. I prefer the red lens on this cause it does not seem to scare the predators or the hogs but we can also use it in truck for spotting in fields while in the truck too which makes it nice when we take the kids out and drive around to look for animals from spring to fall during the evening hours. My kids love it when we dive around and see any kind of animal - from a squirrel to yotes. I have heard that hogs cannot see the red light persay but do notice the difference in brightness, like they are red blind and only see B - G and not in R-B-G like humans do. Not sure the validity of this information ( http://en.allexperts.com/q/Wildlife-...l-spectrum.htm) but a google search has proven that this information may be correct.
