DJ paper. Just add to front of lenses. Better than a kill light with a red LED. Lets more light through but stays red. Can id animal better. This paper is designed for heat.

That may be a great light for Texas high rack hunting also. Let me know how it works out. Did you find a bracket for gun mounts. The front hood seams to big for the regular scope and barrel mounts.

Scope mount no problem.
-
I am willing to bet that sucker gets extremely hot after a few minutes of use. along with the fact that most of these lights have over exaggerated their lumen outputs.
I wonder FP51 do you have any of these lights to make an educated comment on them?
-
Ben this paper is designed to handle heat. Its the same material Dj's use on there white lights with huge bulbs. Yes, I just ordered the lights. I ordered the UF900 and the UF1250. I will do a test when i get them. Stay tuned. If the UF1250 works like i think it will its a good gun light to id animals better without a huge battery pack and wires.. I will still use the UF900 to scan. Mutbuster and i were hunting the other night and i picked up coyote eyes at about 150 yards but could not see the body with the UF900. MUTT killed the coyote with a lightforce light. He said he could see the body. I am hopeing the UF1250 will replace the lightforce.
-
I am not worried about the paper. I know it is rated to handle the heat. I was more worried about being able to handle the light itself without burning yourself. let alone will the light hold up with a lot of heat on extended runs.

I believe it has the possibility to be as powerful as my light force. But I will just have to weight and see for a side by side test.
-
I will give it an honest test and report.
-
Could you let me know if the bell is the same size as the bell on the Kill light?
-
Lookin4fun, Yep i will as soon as lights arrive.
-
Looking4fur
It says the bell end is 55.73 mm, that would be the same as 2.19 inches across. The kill light is 1.89 inches across.
That would make it just about 3/8 inch larger over all. The light is 23 cm long from the picture, that light is around 9 inches long. The kill light is around 7 inches long but has only one battery.
-
That's good. A littler bigger bell but not to big. Should mount on a scope real easy.
-
Thanks Guys.

Someone on Predator Masters found the same exact light as the Kill Light for 30 bucks. Saw the posts about a week ago. The Kill Lights are going to need to come down in price if they are going to compete in the light market. Capitalism at work I guess.

Is this what you mean?
-
We have been through this before. It is a great light for the money but is not the same light. Nothing comes with the light in the link above. No batteries, charger, mounting brackets or pressure switch. It doesn't even have the red LED. Buy all that stuff seperate and your right back where you started. Again I am not saying its not a good light, just not the same.
-
yep +1
-
It makes a great second light. Just add Dj red filter to front of lens. As far as batteries, scope mounts,charger and pressure switch all can be bought under $22.00.
-
really? got individual links for each one?

Nothing wrong with a kill light. This is just for guys who want to save a little money and or perhaps add a second light for less money. Since i like the 900 lumes light allready i am hoping the 1250 lumes light will be a better gun light. The links above will help you save some money on acc. if needed.
-
I still haven't found the remote switch's yet. have you?

I just found the some red led module for cree lights $3.64. KL wants $35.00 for there replacement led modules.

Pressure switch
-
thats only for the kill light 100. not for the 250 look alike you have in the one link above.
-
I am more interested in the 1250 lumes light results. The 900 lumes is great for spotting eyes as a scanning light but not enough to ID animal at some distance. All other info above is just to help you guys save money if possible. Use it as you want.
-
Notice this the web site also show light holders... This one might work on some of the shooting rest if you don't want to mount any shooting lights to your gun..

UB, Might be good for a shotgun mount.

this is what I am trying to figure out. I have a light rated at 230 lumens and can see to 300 yds through a scope and tell what and animal is. that's why I think these numbers are bogus. of course it could be because of difference in our eyes as well. I just can't see how a 900 lumen light isn't enough to id animals at realistic hunting distances. what range are you shooting at night to need such a bright light? I mean buckwheat makes shots at 200+yds with a kill light 250 and it is only 350 lumens I believe.
-
I personally will not shoot over 150 yards. I would rather it be less. Most of our hunting here is brush country not big open fields like you guys have out east. Old Eyes. LOL

Thats what i am saying. I even have crappy optics compared to some of the scopes I know ya got. I just wonder how they test their output? I do know that the reflector makes a big difference as well.
-
I guess its like a 4 power vs a 14 power scope. You can hit what you can't see clearly.

That is what makes the side by side test necessary, I am going to wait and see what the end results are. I might not need more light then I have, but if there is a light better then I have I am interested. But for now I am just watching all the lights out there. With the LEDs being new who knows were the industry might make things better. I think we are just seeing the beginning of a light type change in the industry. There are some great and new LED products for predator and coon hunters already. What will the lights look like two years from now?
o-yea, I like to take them long and close. Depends on the critter and my mood. ;D
-
Believe me if the lights suck i'll tell you. I am just trying to get away from the lightforce lights. To many wires and huge battery. I have had nothing but problems with the lightforce lights. Great light but problems with wires and other parts not working.

You have heard of GAS WARS!!!Probably going to be Killight Wars AKA equal To Kill Light Wars on the horizon????

UB funny. It really comes down to the power of the internet today when buying products. Since most products are comming out of China tons of people carry the same item and try to make profits from the items. A smart shopper won't let this happen. I see the key to buying hunting lights today is the new LED bulbs and amount of Lumes the light has.
