Man that's one rough looking dud under that hat light. Lol Lots of gray hairs.
-
Why don't you just wait for the cap mounted scanning light to come out? Pretty neat set up though.
-
How long till it comes out tim?
-
Lookn4fur
You got to be kidding,did you not hear what broke the wagon. LoL
-
I don't know when its coming out but buckwheat doesn't seem to be having problems killing fox with his existing set up. I just figured he could wait instead of rigging something up. Whatever works for you is what I always say.
Ben did you get that light you ordered yet?
-
I should be getting it this week. I did order a xlr 250 red led one from jeremiah and it came in two days. fast shipping every time. once I get it in I will do a side by side comparison of em. prob gonna be using the handy cam to show the differences of all three lined up at night. not gonna be the same as in person but better then an opinion on ones thoughts of the lights. with it this way everyone can see what the light can do. gonna line up a nite lite wizard, predator light, xlr250 red led light, optronics 350 yd scope light and then the unique fire light ultramag suggested in the scope light thread.

I will probably change when I see what they come out with. But right now it is the best I have to use. I think the next few years there will be some neat stuff with LEDs. I think things will just get better and lighter to carry and easer to use. Heck after a wile every body will be able to kill coyotes and foxes easily. LoL
-
I agree. Lights are changing quickly. Gonna be neat to see what the next big thing is. I know one thing. I can't afford to keep buying stuff.

That is the truth, tons of money. I have well over a 1000 bucks in lights and some I now can hardly give away.
-
Might be good maybe in warmer weather that PPHA have some kind of a PPHA fleamarket so Buckwheat and I can also sale the $1000 each we have invested in Golden Bullet lights...
Can you tell us something about this new scanning light that your all talking about?
Buckwheat that is a nice set up you got there on that hat.. Your brother has done well...
-
By the way, an inch and a half sch 40 pipe will fit on the 100model
as a shroud if you cut a relief in it.
works nice
-
Leglifter how long does the XLR100 light last if you leave it on? Or how many 30 minutes stand could you make with it before you have to pop in another battery?
What I did like about the XLR250 is how wide of a beam it had.
-
I've done 3-4 hrs of continuous scanning with it and only changed batteries because I thouht I should
-
My XLR 250 kill Light will go on my center fire rifle.. I was thinking how it comes with the pressure switch.. However you can turn it on by pushing the button at the end of the light too...When your rifle shooting at 100. 200 and 250 yards you don't need to be exerting pressure on a switch to keep the light on..Best to just push the button on the end of the Kill Light to make it a permanent light when your going to shoot.. The light stays on and you don't have to be exerting pressure on a switch while your trying to place the Muller lighted dot on the chest cavity of the predator..
Leglifter thank you for the info on the XLR100 light... Sounds like it would make an outstanding light weight scanning light. You would not need all of those batteries on your waist or added weight...It to can be used on the barrel of your shotgun...But this time with or without the pressure switch to kill shotgun critters....
I know many of us will think...Wow for $20.00 more I can get an XLR 250 light... But remember what your going to use the light for... Might be better to have the XLR 250 $119.99 for shooting on the rifle and the XLR100 light $99.99for scanning or shotgunning.. To much light for shotgunning can hurt you more then it can help...
-
the kill lights pressure switch will keep it on. push down till it clicks and it stays on. at least dads does.
-
Ben, there are two different kind of pressure switches that are shipped with the kill light,
one is just a momentary switch that you have to hold down to keep the light on
-
dads only got the one extra. it clicks on and stays on. then you have the one that is on the back of the light.
-
Ditto with what ben said.

Ya, know there are some good things about having the 250 though. I have seen some critters run off when you stitch from one light to a brighter light or go to a white light from a red light. Although I am not sure it the difference between the 100 and the 250 is enough difference to make any difference on spooking critters. Also if you are shinning for another shooter that does not have a good light the 250 is pretty nice to have as a back up light.
I am not sure there is enough difference to make a difference on spooking critters between the 250 and the 100. They both are pretty bright compared what some people think will spook critters and ya know my thoughts on lights is different then most. I like to see the best I can. I think school is not out on the use of any type of lights yet and may not be out for a long time.
-
Ditto with what ben said.
Like I said, they are shipped with either one of the remote switches,
out of the 3 I have, 2 are the momentary remotes, and one is an on/off remote
-
I thought you said they were shipped with both types of switchs. my mistake.
-
I'm talking remote switches,
and its one or the other
-
yeah that is what I thought. I thought you said that you got both types of remote switchs and the tail cap switch as well with each of your lights. I misread it though that you got the two different types between getting three lights.
-
You didn't misread it. he just didn't explain himself properly. ;D ;D
-
wah!

Greetings,
I have both the 100 and 250. I received the press and hold to light switch with the 250 and the click it on, click its off with the 100. I did not receive both switchs with the 100 or the 250. Might want to check with Boondock for clarification prior to ordering.
-
OK...With the 250 light...I got the push button on the back and also the pressure switch...
So you saying that when you use the pressure switch it cause the light to remain on or do you still have to exert pressure..Now if your shooting from your EW rest you sure don't need to be exerting pressure on your gun to light up the kill light..Here you need to activate the light with the back button..
Now if your buying the 100 light and not getting both the back button switch and the pressure switch then it might be better to buy the 250 kit set up.
-
Uncle Buck,
You get the tail cap button switch with both lights but I received 1 remote switch with each light. With the 250 I got the pressure switch that requires you to maintain pressure on the switch to keep the light lit. With the 100 I received a remote click on/click off pressure switch, you click it on it stays on until you click it off.
-
I have a push button on both my lights that stay on or off with just one push and two push buttons tail cords that push on or off with just one push. None of mine have a switch I need to hold on to keep the light on.

luck of the draw
