Hoping to get some insight into these lights. I recently purchased a basic model (maybe an older model) with RED LEDs that does not have the photocell or motion detector, it is strictly on/off.
I set it up on my feeder this weekend and turned it on at 4pm using (4) C batteries. To my surprise the pigs came right in at 8pm without issue like they didn't even notice the light. The problem was from my stand, which is about 100yrds away, I could only make out black blobs under my feeder and couldn't see much more through my scope. Needless to say I did not take a shot as I didn't want to wound an animal with a crappy shot I was not sure of.
My question is will running these lights for 4hrs run the batteries down enough to dim the lights? Will hooking them up to my 6v battery make them any brighter than the C batteries. Will a 12v make them any brighter than a 6v??? I was planning on buying their 6v solar panel and photocell to put on later this month but don't want to add more $$ to the system if the brightness is not going to increase.
I was also thinking about adding a scope mounted XLR250 to my rifle and maybe that will give me the extra light needed??
Or am I barking up the wrong tree completely and just need to buy a higher end brighter feeder light.
Thanks for the help!
