Each color serves a specific purpose. Here's how to choose:

White Light:
Best for general use, tracking blood trails, and lighting up wide areas. Not ideal for stealth—can spook game animals easily.

Green Light:
Preferred by hog and varmint hunters. It offers excellent visibility without alarming most animals. Great balance between brightness and stealth.

Red Light:
Ideal for preserving night vision and staying hidden. Often used for predator hunting and map reading. Won’t spook most nocturnal game.

Blue Light:
Helps track blood trails and bodily fluids in low-light conditions. Useful for recovery after the shot.

Yellow/Amber Light:
Cuts through fog and dust better than other colors. Best for low-visibility conditions.

UV flashlights (365–405nm) are used to:

Detect dried blood trails or bodily fluids on surfaces or leaves.

Track game after the shot in recovery situations.

Verify movement paths in daylight or dusk.

Note: UV is best used in close-range situations with a proper surface reflection.

Infrared (IR) flashlights emit invisible light used with night vision devices.

They are ideal for:
Covert tracking or surveillance.
Enhancing visibility through night vision scopes without alerting animals.

How to Use:
Pair with IR-compatible optics (e.g., digital night vision or thermal scopes).
Do not use without compatible gear—you won’t see the light with the naked eye.

Know your local laws – Some areas restrict certain light colors or hunting at night.

Use the right beam pattern – Floodlights are good for scanning; spot beams are better for long-range.

Keep your light quiet – Choose flashlights with silent switches to avoid noise that may scare off game.

Bring extra batteries – Especially for remote or extended hunts.

Check waterproof ratings – Look for IPX4 or higher for wet environments.
