I'm obviously behind on torch tech, only upgrade my 15 year old mag light 6 months ago :lol:

I dunno what the model is but I had one of the standard 4x D batter in the handle ones, I sure people will know the one.

Bought myself one of the single A4 batter size LED Lensers, the P5.2, and it's as good if not better than the mag at 1/10th the size.

Get a good usable light out to around 200m or more, maybe 250. With a coloured filter it cuts down to about 150m with green and 100m with red.

Why use the different coloured filters?

Filters are less detectable to game than shining a patch of "sunlight" on them. My target species around here are less concerned about the green, but they are still "onto it", as in, they do notice it an look for the source but the red filter they don't notice at all.

I find they are almost less concerned about the sound of the gun than they are about the light shining on them.

At a stretch i can shoot out to 120m with the red filter.
