The solar flag pole lights on Amazon have dropped under $30/per and they put out plenty of light.

If you're looking for on the Market, I will put mine up against any out there as an overall for value, durability, set up time, brightness for visibility, and anything else you can think of for a baited hog light. Thats why they are the only lights on the market with a 3 year warranty and a 30 day money back guarantee. Not trying to sound cocky just giving my input as to which I think is best on the Market in the most non biased way possible. We back it up and anybody is more than welcome to try them out with that 30 day money back no questions asked guarantee!






In the middle of a 12 day filming spree right now and the video of the light in action will be out in a Week!
With that said I have shot pigs by taping a flashlight to the feeder, trailer brake lights and several other ways. If you are only referring to on the market Feeder lights ours it taking it by storm with over 1700 sold 1 return because fed ex broke it and 100% 5star reviews. I have had several people come to me with the case that sniper can beat it and we will know this sunday as we are putting it up against the sniper set up at a non biased outfitter. Video to come for that. I will say the sniper set up is close to $400 and ours is $199.99 for the outfitter. Our best value by far is the zero maintenance sportsman's light at $79.99. Not really looking for a debate very busy just throwing out my input and letting you know you can try them risk free!

I am using the Sportsman light from Spot-On Outdoors. Has a dual lighting mode and is really bright when it goes to 100%.

I build my own, but for what is mass produced that "Outfitter" light looks really nice. I prefer a full power dusk to dawn but there isn't much commercially made due to the panel and battery size needed. I would avoid any generic motion light that goes from darkness to light as I have seen many big hogs stay clear of that type.

Yessir. You are correct, 30%-100% is as close as we could get and make sure the light would still run all night. With the light already on at 30% before motion is detected it doesn't seem to bother the Hogs as much. Especially since they stay condition to it coming on and powering up on motion every night. The Sportsman is little in size but don't let that fool you it will light up some serious area. I'm at the hunters Extravaganza show in Houston but when I get back to the hotel I will post a pretty sweet picture I took the other day.

I've had one of these running for coming on 3 years and I'll tell you its a dang good light. Also something to be said for the light it produces as well. Although they are not made with two light heads anymore.

For the budget minded, just check out Harbor Freight for solar porch lights. I have half a dozen of them out all the time, and they do a good job for me. I've had a few go out after a few years, but for about 25 bucks each they are easy and quick to replace. I mount them to all kinds of stuff, including trees with just 4 screws required and takes only a couple minutes. I have shot a lot of hogs under these lights.
