I need a scope light.
« on: November 21, 2010, 07:47:17 PM »
The 6 volt lantern style I bought of an old member has become unrealiable so I need a good scope light for a cheap price. It don't have to be new. Anyone getting rid of a light?

Try. Coleman light they work great. Light cost like 14.00 on the net. Just hook it io to a battery. Almost bright as the light force. Use weaver rings to attach it to scope.

I made the mistake of buying a $3.50 Rayovac. The plastic is thin but I added a reinforcment (wafer sent cap) for support at the base. I also added springs (faucet replacment kit) and rubber washers on the back so I can adjust the angle after breaking it lastnight trying to force it while on stand. Hopefully it last a little while and dosen't cost me an animal. My wife threw away all my red plastic I had so I am using an old amber cover (I cut to fit) from an old 12 volt spotlight.

I have a optronics 6volt 350yd light that works for me.  but I bought it at cabelas in the bargain cave.  I would like to get a kill light for a shooting light.  but I don't have the extra funds for one this year.  maybe next year.  I know the kill lights really opened my eyes at the expo.  led tech is the future it seems.  no more bulbs to blow and no more corded batt packs.  I am wondering though if I want to get a white one and put a red filter on it and get the extra burn time or just go with the red led one and be done with it?

I will admit it has the same body but it is definately not the same light.  A lot of people private label for others.  Maybe this is whats happening here.  Or they are selling just the body?  Not sure.  For the money though it would be worth looking into.

Check out www.dinodirect.com for Uniquefire lights as well.  There prices seem competitive and they have lots of kill light options.  I found this site by googeling "Uniquefire"

Will do.  I am hoping that it will be in the mailbox tonight.  I was surprised it wasn't there yesterday.  also.  for you guys out there with kill lights that don't like the scalloped bezel on the light you can screw it off.  I was thinking about getting some steel and turning a thread on the end and making a sun shade type deflector about a inch and a half long to work as a halo shield but don't think it will be as cost effective as the ones boondock makes.

Ben were you able to get the red LED for that light?  I didn't think they made it?
