I now there are a lot of predator hunters who claim that warm white light around 3000k or less is almost as effective as a red or green light, but that’s just anecdotal. There are some good articles on line showing the science of what wavelength of light is more visible to certain animals. For instance, I hunt feral hogs occasionally and supposedly, the higher nm range of green light start to be less visible to them. I use red light because I prefer it, but I know a lot of people use green and claim there is little difference. so basically, do some research on what light might be visible or not to the particular animal you’re hunting. I think the T-20 zoomie with a pressure switch is a great light to change from spot/flood depending on the range you anticipate, and a three way switch with really low- mid- high is a good choice. The c8 is also a great value host with a red/photo red Xp-e2 or SST-20DR if you want more a tight beam. Kramer5150 makes some good points IMO, the T20 zoomie is heavy, but worth it IMO. Just make sure you have the ability to start on low and maybe ramp up the output as needed since no matter what color, flashes a bright light of any color will probably flush whatever animals are around.

This new xp-g3 in red is what I’ll be building with next, it looks like they just released two new higher bins according to cree data sheet:
I’ve also ordered red XP-e2’s from here a couple of times:
