Green light definitely makes critters more skittery. How ever it shows the thin crosshairs up on the scope way better than red. ( see hunting stories for how I used it)

all said and done apart from drop in impact Point, stayed pretty true to form. The variation can be put down to my shooting I think. Worth it for the advantage of more steady spotlighting than trying to hold in hand. It's a quick release grip, so will only put it on when needed. ]]> Tue, 02 Aug 2022 09:12:19 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=654&PID=4258#4258 anyone used green light? : here's a couple of pics with... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=654&PID=4257#4257 Author: kruzaroad

just did some Web research on subject basics are. Humans have 3 light receptors in eyes animals have 2. This makes it difficult for them to see light in certain ranges. The intensity of light is more noticable to them. They can get spooked by the shadows created by the light. The light when you shine it on them tends to block out your shape, why they don't see you.( think someone shining a torch in your eyes at night)
Red light is well within colour blind spectrum of animals ( they see it as a shade of grey) Good on all Animals. Brightness affects their weariness.
Green light is much closer to to animals viable spectrum. It's brighter goes further, illuminates the target better.Casts more defined shadows. More likely to spook animal epically at higher brightness. Suppose to be good in fog, good for pigs, and hard for animals to see side on.
The shadow casting was something I never thought about, but helps explains why critters get skittry. Real life experiences will follow but for now this is a general overview. ]]> Tue, 02 Aug 2022 03:50:10 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=654&PID=4256#4256 anyone used green light? : I tried red verses green on the... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=654&PID=4255#4255 Author: kruzaroad

I tried red verses green on the car reflectors and the difference was huge. hardly even shone with green, whereas the red was stunning. The green light being a longer wave length does go substantially further worked well on the bulls. My theory at the moment (unconfirmed) is that green will pick up better on different animals. I have a sneaking suspicion cats eyes will reflect better in green as they don't shine red in red light.
I'll do some more testing with it, but at this stage for rabbits I'll primarly stick to red. I find it much easier on my eyes, I can pick out the targets easier in red and the rabbits don't shy away from it. Red also preserves night vision.
ill post more as I find it out but rabbits is red from now on.

have never used a green spot light but have used red and red works very well i believe thats because many animals either cant see red light or have just got used to white lights and learnt white light means danger etc,but do use scopes with green crosshairs and dots,found that strange as it may seem green lights stand out very well against foliage better than other colours,have used red when spot lighting foxs in aussi found red light didnt go as far as white light so green possibly the same be great for spot lighting possums in trees,let us know how these colours work out,there is a certian spectrum of green colours that some animals cant see,this is why posions like cynyde is green,to stop birds seeing it and eating it.

nope not sold on green light. rabbits tend shy away from looking at it.
lit up a couple with green. very high eye shine but for just a split sec as it turned away. went back to red they kept staring and not spooked by light.

it's a very illuminating colour turns out. Seemed to be more visible to rabbit I tried it on. It took off, but the way I came in on them was bit noisy, so they were pretty weary. Red light was good they moved a lot less. ( not that that mattered I only got one shot off and totally missed. misjudged distance by about 20 meters under red beam shot god knows how far above it) If the green light turns out not to spook them, be a great scanning colour then switch to red. green is very bright. ]]> Sun, 31 Jul 2022 14:25:34 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=654&PID=4247#4247 anyone used green light? : Has anyone used green light for... www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=654&PID=4246#4246 Author: kruzaroad

Has anyone used green light for hunting? If so how was it. I brought this today with a scope mount picatinny and a quick release mount that holds touch to side. Gave me a one mildot drop, but turns out the quick release is great to hold under gun with hand. it has white, red, and green light. Red I've used and its great. Green I haven't and are a bit dubious about it. has anyone used green light before. ]]> Sun, 31 Jul 2022 12:05:39 +0000 www.kiwiairgunners.co.nz/forum_posts.asp?TID=654&PID=4246#4246
