Using lights to hunt at night can be very effective. Hunters have been using red lights to hunt predators and wild hogs for many decades. Recent advances in LED technology has made green lights a viable, sometimes preferred, option. We don't believe it's as much color, as presentation, that effects hog sensitivity to light. There is a misconception that wild hogs can't see red or green light. They most certainly can; we've seen a few University Studies that suggest swine in general don't see as much of the red-light-spectrum, but no concrete evidence has ever shown they can't see red light. Regardless of color, they most certainly see shadows, flashes, and moving light. We have found that Green Light is better for hunters using Scopes at night. Green is easier for the human eye to see and much easier to see crosshairs through a scope. Red light seems to be more calming as it casts fewer shadows; we typically use red light when we are bow hunting as we are much closer to the wild hogs and the intensity of brighter green lights is not necessary. Either color seems to work great when presented slowly without any flashes or sudden intensity changes.
