Hey guys, we are looking into buying a good quality spotlight for night hunting predators. Thoughts??? maximum spending budget is $350-$400

Probably the EWT scope light product line or the new sniper hawg lite 50 or 60 model.

Hi AA,

Check out the LightForce HID corded spotlight... You will be impressed with its power and lightweight handling.

Regards,

Deben Tracer 140VP or the 170VP

They are built like a light force, but have a built in rheostat on the back of the handle.

If you're gonna spend that much, try the coyote light. I myself hunt with a wicked and nitehunt xlr

Consider my lights before you spend that much!!!

The Lightforce SL140vp, SL1705VP and SL2406VP are pretty nice lights.

I just purchased one of panther89's lights and will put it to use as soon as it comes in the mail. After that I will post a review in this section. So far I've heard nothing but good things. I will be hunting with a couple of guys that have the xlr250 lights so we will be able to do a side by side comparison.

Guess I'm behind the times. My question is; spotlighting while calling or while driving? Calling at night I use head lamps to spot the eyes coming in then halo them with Q beam-red lens, 400,000 CP. While traveling looking for calling spot, Q beam-white beam. Use spotlight, not flood lights. Looked at gun/scope mounted lights instead of Q beam, not sure about it yet.

Go Light is what I use and love it

I use/endorse the xlr250...I will be interested in your real world test results on Panther89's lights....compared to the xlr250

I got a xlr250 for Christmas and havent used it yet in "live action" but Im impressed with its brightness and such. If I didnt normally hunt alone, Id prolly just use a hand held Q beam.

Hopefully will have it before this weekend. Gonna try to go out Saturday night and hit it hard. Been saving my spots all year for the contests coming up but won't be able to make them so ive got about 30 spots I'm gonna try and hit. Hitting that many I should know about battery life and everything else.

Good stuff here guys, I will check out yalls recommendations. let me know how you like it amcalister..

Lightforce 170mm gun mounted lights are what we use and have for years. I have an XLR250 and really like it but when I'm hunting from the truck the Lighforce is the only way to go with a boondock hood of course
If you get one of the XLR250s or any of the lights with a CREE LED be careful shining the center spot directly in the face of the animal. I have had a couple of foxes, and yotes spook when you do that. I have also tried it on deer and get the same results. Something about the intensity of the very center of the spot that they DON'T like. Just my .02

Lightforce

lightforce, hands down

Brinkman 200,000 cp with straight cord with a Foldger coffee can shroud. $35

and a couple of the colored flashlights

Got my light in from panther yesterday and I have been like a kid with a new toy. So far I'm very impressed but will put it to the test Friday night. I'm also going to try and compare it to my lightforce I usually hunt from the truck with.

My xlr250 (green) has spooked the hawgs off several times. Not every time but sometimes. Im guessing its spooked the ones off that have been shot at before ?

love the set up!

can anyone tell me who might make this light and where i might be able to find them. ive looked all over the web. thanks

looks like a HCR sportsman light

Nitehunt light for sure I kill yote out to 250 yards no problem. And it will last all night and weighs next to nothing. Checkout Chelseaoutdoors.com
