So, I've got a handful of Surefire lights, some 6p's and a 9p. I just love them.
I've got M61 Malkoff head in one of my 6p's and an M61SHO head in my 9p, and the others have some Chinese knockoff heads.
I'm going to be doing some night-time pig hunting and need to light up a feeder at ~100yd, but want to use red light.
If you hunt at night and spot pigs this way, what do you use?
The SHO lights up my feeder ok from where I sit unfiltered, but if I put a red filter on it I think it will diminish the throw.
Should I get a new light with a bigger head and apply the red filter or will a new 6P/9P drop-in with a red LED work as good? I know the small head will have less throw...
What about a Fenix TK22 with a red filter? What's the throw like on those? Or I've also been thinking of a 3D Maglite with a Malkoff drop-in and filter....but Malkoff is out of Maglite dropins...
Maybe a Hound dog??
