I'm getting around 200 yrds (max I could test last night). The green is definitely brighter, or at least easier to see.

I have an XLR250 and just bought a Fenix TK35 (820 Lumens) very bright and great range with this light, downside is its white light. http://www.fenixlight.com/viewnproduct.asp?id=86

Ok Guys

My Cree UltraFire C8 light came today - it is very bright (white)
If there is another $15 LED flashlight that is brighter than it - I would love to see it

This light is very bright....

Now I still plan on getting a XLR 250 (green) to hunt with but for $15 dollars this light cannot be beat...

I just got my flashlight from China and it is awesome. Light, batteries and charger were $50 with shipping. My friend has an XLR100 and XLR250 and it is comparable to the 250. The drawback is that it has a 5 modes that you have to cycle through and it doesn't have a green LED like the XLR. The XLR mounting system is much better as well when compared to a velcro strap.

I am looking for a inexpensive scope mount to use instead and will go to a Guitar Center to find a green colored film to cover the lense and see it it works or melts. Ha.

I got mine last night and I agree. For $15, it can't be beat.

Try to find something like the film they use for production lighting, they are called gels. I tried a piece of red film left over from Valentines Day grin
It melted in very short order. Should have realized it is heat shrink film, but I can be pretty dense.

Green c8. Also available in red and white from same place.

This is from the same manufacturer as the kill light. Brinyte makes both.

Kill light is the Brinyte UF900. Their website gives the same specs for both.

Good find there! The UF-900 is indeed sold by that company, but the manufacturer does not allow sales to other individuals in the US. The C8 from aliexpress is nice, but the green or red LED is not quite as bright as some of the others out there. There are also one mode C8's which do not require you to flip through all the settings to get your desired output.

Can't comment on the other model c8's but this guy at aliexpress let me pick from 1, 3 or 5 mode and smooth or OP reflector. But I do know it is the r5 led that the kill light uses.

Got my light today and found a scope mount laying around and it fit perfectly. I thought I might be unimpressed by this light but I was very pleased with it. It is definately bright! The light was $14.99 on ebay shipped. I think it is worth mentioning you will also have to buy batteries and charger. (2 batteries and double battery charger was $25)
