Question to my brotherhood of hunters.

We are on a new lease that is overwhelmed with hogs. so my thoughts are to mount 2 RED spot lights to the front of blind that sets 90 yards from feeder and sits on a bluff. Heres my thoughts. a spot light fixed at each corner focused on feeder. Car battery in the stand with Solar panel on Roof. all goes to a light switch by front window. IM having torubloe finding any Spot lights for this application in RED and tprefer LED. any help or links would be appreciated. Im ready to get about 3 AR buddies in the stand and LIGHT THEM UP

www.taskerlights.com ...Problem solved.

Even after 17 hours of both lights being on...after you've taken your quarry and used the light to feild dress it, there is still enough juice to take you through the dark back to the vehicle or cabin.

Add a IF motion detector to lights and wire in a buzzer for blind.

I have cheap solar panel powered lights(the kind you stake in the ground along your landscaping) wired on the feeder pen posts. They come on every night, and the hogs and deer are used to them. $20 for a set of 10 at WM.

Maybe try your initial post but find yourself some used spotlights like the ones mounted on police cars and attach those plastic red lenses over the front. This way you can move the spotlight as needed. Hmmmm, now that has me thinking.

Or apply some Dykem on the lense or use their paint marker.
