I know almost nothing about good long range lights or short range for that matter. I am having problems with coyotes at night around the barns and hogs in the fields. I am told I need green for hogs @ 100-200 yards using a good day scope. For the yotes I am told I need red good to 100 yards with the same scope. I don’t know if there is flashlights made that will give me what I want. Scopes have red and green lighted crosshairs. I would like to stay under $100 per light if possible but if I can get what I need I will pay more if needed.
Convoy added several osram colored led flashlights in the online store on aliexpress. I don’t know if they will fit your application.
here one
I have a convoy c8+ red osram on my 17hmr, it works well and it fits a standard flashlight mount. It should be good for 100 yards on a daytime scope. I dont know how it would handle the recoil on a larger gun though. They’re pretty cheap so if you dont like it you’re not out much. You can get it in green also which is much brighter.
just like Pip above, green does best for me and my .17HMR.
the only thing i have problems with is a brisk wind.
i have green e10, very tight hotspot, little spill, useless for most situations, but it is ideal for a scope, they also have new l19 with thousands of feet throw
If you do end up looking at the Convoy Osram C8 lights, FastTech also carries a variety of them.
Aside from free international shipping, they’ll also have a 10% off coupon code active from December 25-27 (XMAS2020).
Thanks. 2 pieces ordered
Acebeam has the L19 coming soon
I don’t go a-hawging, but I always liked the HS-802s, which usually come in red and green for just such purposes.

Especially with a high-strung XP-E/-E2, they can throw a tight beam pretty well.
I usually don’t push mine nearly as hard.
