Schmoo Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I've got a 300 lumen green led ultrafire it's a lot better than my red led flashlight and good to 75-100 yards I only use my scope on 7x so could probably see them further out with more mag. Also the darker the night the more effective, but mist/fog brings the range down a fair bit. Also the green led doesn't seem to spook them either. Atb Gary Cheers Gary. I will have a look online and see if I can find something along those lines. Cheers Schmoo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Dave, you got any idea what sort of range these are good for, would it be suitable for a .22lr. Do you know if the remote switch thing is a click on click off thing, or is it a hold for on release for off type. Cheers Schmoo. I think you may have missed the last sentence of my paragraph.... "It is suitable for rimfire range" If you know your land this is all you will ever need for rimfire range bunnies. The remote pressure contains three or four minature surface mount 'press to make contact' switches on a little strip of circuit board. Carefully examine where you place your thumb when you fire - the switch is placed in that position with very high precision, technically superior..... black tape.

Dave-G Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 I suppose I ought to put something in for the odd pedant who takes 17HMR to it's outermost and unreliable sub centre fire range: If that sounds like you.... you will find its not a 200 yard light, go back and read my posts again.

Luckyshot Posted June 8, 2012 Report Share Posted June 8, 2012 Not being rude mate but you have clearly got incandescent bulbs or old spec LED's in that 'same torch' body. LED's have come on in leaps and bounds in the last few months - and even if you only bought it recently it could have been old over-stock being dumped off. Newer drop in LED units for that torch come out every few months that wipe the floor with their recent predecessors. Even the new running lights on the very latest cars are now almost obsolete spec. The red one linked to is good for rimfire ranges as long as you know your land. If you don't know your land you shouldn't be shooting there anyway. This white one scares rabbits off at 150 yards plus, note the LED model number XM-L T6 CREE: http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextWon&ssPageName=STRK:ME:LNLK:MEWNX#~~http://my.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MyEbayBeta&SortOrder=DESCEND&NewPeriod=CustomCurrentYear&GotoPage=2&View=WonNext&tagId=0&Column=SaleDate&CurrentPage=MyeBayNextWon&ssPageName=STRK:ME:PAGE&StoreCatFilter=0&WonNext.Filter=All&SubmitAction.ChangePage=x&FormatFilter=AllFormat&container=WonNext&pag=t&edoff=true~~wholeDiv313~~ithr313~~myRCP313_ct Could you put the link up to the one you have?

Dave-G Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 (edited) This one If you can only see to shoot 60 yards with that I can only assume you have been sold a wrongly listed one or a duff one mate - or your scope is pants and then some. Even the older much lower power white LED's will see to shoot further than that mate - assuming the rabbits are tolerant enough to wait for you to get yourself ready - mine dont wait. I think it's fair to say most people who have tried white LED torches for rabbits will know there is something wrong about that torch if it only does 60 yards - and that your real problem is... White LED lamps are no good for rabbiting. Get the red one and the bits I have listed and you'll have a lot more luck with it.

Dave-G Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Out of all the links which one the best for bunnies with a .22lr Cheers Anyone would think this thread was about hundreds of pounds worth of equipment here instead around about £30 all in. It seemingly depends on who you ask, what your favourite colour is, who posted the last reply or whether you can be ***** to use a bit of emery cloth and paint. It then goes on to indicate someone else is going to buy green because someone tried 'a red one' at some time in the past... but couldn't be ***** to say which exact spec red one he was comparing it to, so we don't know if it's current high spec or obsolete. Here's a sample link to see how many different spec red LED emitters there are: http://www.focalprice.com/buy/red%20emitter.html I've already said which I know works extremely well - but have not compared mine to a green one of any spec. This thread is going round in circles and I'm wasting my time in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bicykillgaz Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Is that on the stregnth of someone saying their green led was better than their red one - but didn't specify what spec the red one was? If your referring to me my green one was a 300 lumen ultrafire 501b I think my red was an mx-power and similar lumen output, all I know is that the red led's emit a darker colour than the green so the green light has a far better usable range, also my green didnt spook my rabbits as much, not sure why but i would assume most rabbits are use to been lamped with a red lamp so not as suspicious of the green.

This is not the only torch I have like this, I also have the 1300 lumen version that is usable to 80 yards to shoot rabbits. Yes it will see eyeshine at 100+ yards but for positive ID and shootable distance 80 yards is all it is good for. I dont use lamps of any kind much now as most of my shooting is done with NV.

No....The green one I have ordered is exactly the same spec as the Red one I already have - Just Green Only £6 so worth a punt! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Ok chaps - I've have a laser ranged update to my red LED torch with the mods. Last night I tried to identify what turned out the be two half grown rabbits at 128 yards - and failed. They remained static and were so close together with small eyes, one partially behind the other, that I couldn't decide if they were partridge or small bunnies. I then put the headlights on and saw they were bunnies. If they were larger - or far enough away from each other to see their full profiles it would probably have been different. Most of you won't have a back-up light source so I would say its absolute maximum range is maybe 120 yards for small quarry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted June 12, 2012 Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 This may be of interest, it's one of the aspects I wasn't able to put into logical thought process, other than using red light seemed more comfortable or relaxed at night than white light - so I guess its probably more comfortable than green light too: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?18915-Human-Night-Vision-Preservation.

rwade545 Posted June 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2012 Reason why red light is also used is they it is at the low end of visible light. Infrared is red light that is just too long a wave length for us to see but can be picked up with night vision equipment. The red light therefore is quite low energy and think that makes it less disturbing to vision. I will probably be corrected but that what i remember from physics. What kit did they get remy700?
