whitehackle Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 I have just bought a T67 and am very happy with it so far. But with the white LED I have seen two fox's and both have ran straight away, I have changed to a red LED and seen one fox that has also ran as soon as it saw the lamp. \ these might just be lamp shy fox's. I have heard people say that the LED light is a bit harsh on fox's eyes, but I thought that the red LED would get round this. What are other peoples experiences with LED light and fox's? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danfick Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 No problem at all with led. My one is a three setting version that I can zoom but I had one at 40 yards the other day and it stayed put Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alycidon Posted May 19, 2015 Report Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not shot one with it yet but I did watch a fox for 5 mins at distances down to 60 yards with my new Xsercher with a white led in it. Have fitted to a rifle and gone looking but nothing has so far presented itself safely. The only fox that did was against a gappy hedge that sheep often sleep the far side of, however at 150 yards or so it was clear enough to shoot, just not safe. Have bought a green LED but it looks a bit of a mare to change so as my eyesight these days is not what it once was then I will see how white goes for the time being.

A Easypeasy Al, just unscrew the front bezel by hand to remove the lens/O ring and get access to the pill........ you'll see 2 small holes in this which will allow you to insert the tips of a pair of needle nose pliers, the only thing to note is the pill has a left hand thread (ie the wrong way round so you'll need to do it up to undo it and vice versa). Take the batteries out first to relieve the spring pressure on the underside of the pill. And bob's your uncle... or something like that.

Dougy Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I've even had it with ir led so don't worry too much Just lamp shy, they don't take much educating. Its a difficult job getting those fox's but when you do it makes the effort worth while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 I have used nothing but a nightmaster red led the last few years & have shot plenty of foxes. You still get the odd lamp shy one, but I certainly find the red led better than a white light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted May 22, 2015 Report Share Posted May 22, 2015 No problem with white, yellow or red. What can put them into the next county though is flashing a narrow beam all over the place looking for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
