https://slowglow.com/ - I just ordered and received this light, but haven't hooked it up or tried it yet. The materials claim it lights up a several hundred sf area with either red or green light. I bought with the battery and solar panel so it comes on every night. Says it remains dim until motion detector triggered then takes 2 full minutes to come to full intensity. I doubt it is nearly as intense than that of Thaecton, but I am eager to try it out soon. Will report back. I'm in to hear how it works Eh never mind, I just bought two. I'll join the guinea pig race with you Set it up yesterday afternoon. Easy setup and i built a small pen around it to keep the cows from rubbing against the housing and solar panel. I did not hunt it last night wanting to let it settle down a bit, but i dropped in this morning on the way to another blind. From about 70 yards out, i could see it did light up a considerable area, and i could easily see the crosshairs in my scope. So far, i like it, and the craftsmanship an materials are top notch. Thanks for the update. My two make it to my front door today, and I'll be putting them out next week

Wow that lights it up  How far away (yards) is your feeder from your blind? This particular setup is a bow blind, so it's only about 30 yards away here. It will shine a long, long ways. I've thought about putting one on my rifle blind but idk if I will do it. I spend most my time in my bow blind. I just bought a second one to put on my ranger and it shines further than the white light bar I had on it.

I ordered a 24" Predator Cannon and it arrived yesterday. I spent this morning rigging a lightweight prototype mounting rig.
This evening the She-Wolf and I went down to one of the blinds and set it up. An hour and twenty minutes after dark, seven pigs came in. Only six left...
This is a wonderful light and the pigs didn't even notice it.

I think I will light up one of my feeders, and try to shoot a pig at night. We have a ton of pigs but they come out at night. One of my box blinds is 5x6 with a brand new gaming chair in it. I think I wll get me a hog light and mount on my feeder. Hit the blind a little before dark, take my phone, teather it to my ipad along with something to snack on and hope a pig comes out.
I had some lights rigged up last year, the ones from harbor freight, but dang coons or something ate them as soon as I put them out. i need a better plan this year.
Thanks, Billy

I see you are from League City, not far from us. We are near Katy.
