You guys have got me curious now. I like the sound of the XLR 250.
Question please, since the light shines so well to distances of 200 yards and beyond, how is it for close shooting? Is it a more narrow beam? I assume it is.
If hunting distances less than 200 yards, more like 100 yards, would you use the XLR 100 instead?
Also, a little bit different topic, but related to Elusive Wildlife TEch. feeder lights. I notice they have green LED feeder lights. Does anyone have experience with these lights? I'm curious if they light enough to see under shooting conditions at a distance.
Would these lights be compatible with night vision scopes, or is the LED not good for night vision?

David,
I think the light would work well up close. I would use the 250 for general predator hunting. A halo shield is a worthwhile accessory! Personally, I don't care for green light. My somewhat limited experience with different green lights, was disappointing. Green appears as very light, or white to canine eyes, so why not just use a white light? I'm stuck on red light for hunting in the East. I've killed lots of stuff with white lights over the years, but red just seems to be less alarming to critters. Maybe it's the placebo effect, but it works for me and I'm sticking to it!!
From my also limited experience with night vision equipment, you do not want to add any additional light of any color. IR illuminators are the only "light source" you want to use.
