I took down my seven hog lights I have on my feeders. I had to replace two that weren't working. I took the lens covers off on each one and replaced the green filters with new red & green filters. I'll be curious tonight when it gets dark how they look and perform.

Bet it works just fine. What brand of light is that and are they on the feeders or on a pole? Thanks

Not sure who makes the lights. Amazon has a great selection of solar street lights like these that are brighter and much cheaper.

Just got back from checking the new red/green filtered lights. The red filters are working great. The green filter film I used was a lot lighter green than the previous green film. It was almost a bright white lite. Way too bright under the feeders. When we got back to the house and did an experiment with a flash light. I'll need four layers of the green film to make it truly look green like the previous green film. It will be an easy fix tomorrow to the take the outer lenses off and add three additional layers of green film. I'll check them tomorrow night and post the results.

I received some dark green film yesterday. I replaced the lighter green film with the darker green in the lights. I did set one feeder up with just red lights and one with just green lights as well. The dark green/red combination still produced an almost white light. Not sure why, didn't like it though. The green filtered lights on the one feeder is what we've been running for almost ten years and has worked well. The all red lights were flat out outstanding. The area was brighter than the green and easier to see around feeder. I just changed out the remaining feeder lights with all red filters. I'm sure it will take a few days for the hogs and deer to get used to, then it's game on.

Made me one using a solar motion light from Walmart. Spray painted the lens and has been working great.

Just regular green spray paint? Light coat?

Interesting, I would have never thought of using spray paint. Glad it worked out for you.
