Night Light Set Up
12/9/2011 7:09:12 PM
Here is the Olight M-20 Crimson Red Led and Olight M-3X with green glass filter no joke setup on my T/C Carbine that kills out to 250 yards precisely:

What's the purpose of both a red and green light?

You can see the throw of the green much better than the red,.
Both the lights have about the same total distance of throw but the green stands out better in your night adapted eyes since your night vision is actually much better in the green wavelengths than the red.
Both red and green light up retinas real good too....

I understand that you can see using the green light better than red, I was just curious what the advantage is to using them both at the same time or are you using them separately?

My guess is, used separately, red for close work, green for reaching out.

I have put together a simplified version of something like that for a upcomming night hunt.
I used mounts and lights that are as light as possible to prevent any movement of the scope during recoil.
I'm looking for a pressure pad switch now to turn on the light. Using my left tumb is pretty quick but puts my arm in slightly akward position to shoot.
Basically I'm going to turn on the light just before I'm going to shoot.
With some practice, I'm able to turn on the light, aim and shoot under one second out to 50 yards.
Right now I'm trying to decide between red, blue and green filter for the light.
Is one color less better (as in less threatening to pigs) than other or i the filter just to preverve the shooter's night sight?

I think between red and green it's pretty much a wash as far as startling them, it's more the intensity that you have to worry about. It's easier for people to see in green light, so I kind of lean that direction since you can see better with green at less intensity than red.

If you want to test red cheaply, find some red cellophane paper at crafts store or chistrmas wrapping paper. cut piece and wrap around with rubber band and test. if can find blue or green cellphane can test with that or just make permanent.
I really like the old school, lever action, hillbilly pig shooting gun upgraded to 24/7 night time operations, hog eradication weapon.
