Sean, lots of people like their Wicked lights. I personally have never used them. Night Eyes is another well liked light and there are a bunch of lights in the price range you mentioned. Joe is also a PPHA sponsor and a good guy. I'd say check his site out. As far as your other question, I cannot help you there..sorry. Perhaps, someone else will chime in..

I love  the Wicked ic pro scan light.  However,  I’m  not real impressed with the  Wicked 404 IC shoot light.  I personally like the intensity control and the ability to either flood or pinpoint the beam.  I’m just not happy with the distance of the throw.

I have been predator hunting for the past 6 years and I have been using the Night Eyes F6 Scan and Kill Light Combo.  I am very satisfied with the performance of it.  I can usually see eyes on a clear night out to 400-500 yards with the scan light, and the kill light is good out to 200 yards or more.

You can run the scan light at different settings, (Option 1 Full On, Option 2 Whatever Power you want - 50%, 40% ..etc), it can be changed to whatever your preference.  The battery life is also decent with it but it can't hurt to have an extra 1 or 2 for those cold nights.

Extra batteries is a great idea. I always carry spares. They're light weight and don't take up much space.
