I received the light yesterday. Very nicely packaged. The batteries were finally charged up around midnight. I had to take it out and shine it in the back yard. I shined it down the road at some trees about 200 yards away. Holy mother of flashlights. A very satisfied customer here.
Subject: The best lights ever !!! Message: I have been an avid predator hunter for over 20 years and have tried all of the different lights for night hunting . I recently ordered both the XLR100 and the XLR250 , and have been blown away with these products . I have the XLR250 on my gun and I use the XLR100 for scanning . We can spot eyes out to 500 yards with the XLR100 and we can identify what the animals are out to 300 yards with the XLR250 . We have used these lights from -10 degrees and in rain and snow storms without any failures . These are the BEST lights for predator hunting on the market !! Sincerely Dan U. ( Colorado night hunting fanatic !)
My husband and I purchased 2 of the Green Kill Lights (XLR250) and two of the Green Feeder Lights from Allpredatorcalls.com around last August, to take with us on a Hog/Coyote hunting trip at our ranch in September. The weather was miserably hot still (we're in TX) and we didn't have much hog movement, but the second night we were there, a cool front came through, and my husband killed 2 hogs in 10 minutes using his new Green Kill Light attached to his Browning .270. One was a 278 pound boar, the other a 68 pound sow. We are sooooo in love with the Kill Lights and the Feeder Lights, and will never use anything else!
The funniest part is that we were out there hunting with four friends who all had the ND3 Laser Light. When we were showing them our Kill Light's and they saw how much further our lights worked then their laser lights, and what a broader area it illuminated, all four of them went home and ordered themselves Kill Lights, and threw the Laser ones in the trash!
In November, we were out there again deer hunting, and we had six people at the ranch one night for dinner: a game warden, a government trapper, and four friends from a neighboring ranch. After dinner they were all tired from deer hunting, and decided not to go out predator and hog hunting, but my husband and I suited up to go. Before we left, we showed them our Kill Lights, (all six have the ND3 Laser) and they wanted to see how it compared to their Laser lights, so we went out to shine theirs vs the Kill Light on the side of the barn, (265 yards from the house porch) and they went wild at how much brighter and clearer our Kill Lights were! You could barely see the little dot from their lights! All of them made me write down the info so they could order themselves Kill Lights the very next day! We later found out they bought a total of 11 Kill Lights and 8 Feeder Lights. I think we sold a lot for you guys, just from showing people how awesome they are! LOL!
Thanks so much! Cynthia & Andrew M.

First of all, thanks for whatever you did to get the light to me by today. Not sure how the USPS got it here so quickly, but it was a nice surprise to see it on my kitchen table when I got home from work (my wife put it there, not the postman).
Second - I can't believe how much power this light generates. There are other lights on the market that claim to have a 250 yard range, but this one puts them to shame...all in a compact and lightweight package. I am kicking myself for lugging around a 6 volt battery for the past two years. I've had quite an obsession with purchasing the right lights for my nighttime predator hunting and I've bought quite an array of different lights. One of the key features that sets this light apart is the red light bulb. I've always felt that red lenses tend to dull a light and the fact that you don't need one with your light is really a huge advantage. I can't wait to buy a second one.
Furthermore, I can't believe the bigger hunting retailers don't stock these. They don't know what they're missing.
Thanks again for all your help - have a great holiday season.
Message: I recently purchased your XLR250 with the white LED. This light is without a doubt the best scope mounted light I have ever owned. I have probably spent well over $1000 on different lights and no other light is comparable to your light. I use it for predator hunting at night and I can truly shoot 200 yards with this light. It is mounted on top of my Ziess 4.5-14 scope which sits on top of my Rock River 5.56/233- what a combination. THANK YOU for a great product which does what it says it will do. TRUTH in advertising-good stuff. Keep up the good work folks and thanks again for your awesome products. 1 HAPPY CUSTOMER! Jim S.
A few months ago, I purchased the XLR100 combo with the 3 lenses, using the green lens ( which I feel you understate the distance on your website because I could clearly see at least 200 yards ), I shot 3 foxes and a bobcat at our ranch!! Best varmint hunting I have done in a while. I can't believe how long the battery last. This is the best light I have ever bought.
I’m sure you get tons of emails just like this, but just wanted to drop you guys a line to say Thank You. I actually heard about your products a few months back, when I was first introduced to hunting. Being both a female, and a completely non-traditional hunter, I was somewhat freaked out by the hog light, and the thought of hunting anything! Two months, a women’s hunting blog, and a Hill Country doe later- I’m ready to take on the hog light. I just ordered a Feeder light, along with a Blood Tracking Flashlight to prevent any repeat episodes of my first deer’s tracking nightmare- and I can’t wait for them to come in!
Today, when I called to inquire about how quickly I could get my order, or if I should have it Express Shipped, your customer service guy was awesome. Not only did he get a chuckle when I told him I needed MY LIGHT by this weekend so I could hunt in East Texas, he didn’t even laugh when I mentioned the fact that I was writing a women’s hunting blog, and would be reviewing my feeder light for all my girly hunting friends. 90% of the time I get the silent treatment, or “You’re kidding me right?” when I mention to anyone in the industry that I’m into hunting- much less writing a blog about it, much less writing a hunting blog for women. So, although it was only the CSR guy on the phone with me, that made my day, and I am definitely a fan of EWT!
My wife purchased the 250 green kill light for my Valentine's Day gift because she overheard me talking about this new light I had discovered on the web. This light is awesome. I own a red scope mounted light from Primos and it drove me crazy. It would never stay in place and the lens fell off way to easy ( had to go back next day a couple of times to find it). I killed several coyotes with it but it was a hassle to keep everything in place for the shot, i.e. battery terminals would pull off, light would fall sideways, or the batteries would run down at the most opportune times. I figured it was the best on the market for the 150.00 price range so I suffered for the last year with it. Not anymore! I have been coyote and hog hunting at night for the last couple of years and between my two boys and I we have taken many coyotes.
I received your light Friday and charged the batterys that night. We went out Saturday night and on the 2nd stand we called in a double. I was using the primos light as a hand held scanner ( after I scotch tapped the lens on so i would not loose it) and my son was the shooter with your light, in green, on his gun. As bright as your light is I was worried the yotes would get spooked as soon as we turned it on, so I told my son to wait until the coyotes were in shooting range before turning it on. i turned the call on and with in a couple of minutes I saw two sets of eyes heading our way, I told my son ( who was in the prone ) to get up and get ready to shoot. He turned the light on immediately ( against my advice of course). And these two were lit up to the point that I turned off the hand held light. Both yotes kept coming and I was afraid they were going to attack my call. We kept the kill light on them the whole time and we were barking at the yotes so they would stop. They got within 30 yards and my son finally took the lead coyote out. They never spooked! The light worked flawlessly. It mounted perfectly and was so conveniant with no external batteries and very sturdy. Sorry this is so long but I can't bragg enough about this light. It is everything you want in a light. I am looking forward to this weekend, I plan on leaving the scanning light at home and using the Kill Light to scan with as well as shoot. Thanks for making my hobby that much more enjoyable!
P.S. I will make someone a great deal on a primos and throw away, I mean throw in the 50 dollars in extra batteries that I have purchased.
I got my new XLR250 light and I am highly impressed, to say the least. That is saying something for your product because as an engineer who has spent most of my 30+ year career working on the NASA and Air Force Space Programs, I am not easily impressed. I have not had a chance to use it yet but it produces and awesome beam of light that is beyond what I had imagined possible. I can't wait to show this light to my hunting buddies. When I last talked to you on the phone, you said that you made most of the pigtails and stuff there in your shop, if I remember correctly. So, I want to ask if it might be possible for me to purchase a few of the click on/off switches with just the pigtail and no flashlight end cap? I'm interested both in rewiring my 6P Surefire lights for my occasional guests who hunt with me. One of the Surefire momentary pad light switches burned out on me recently (just one of the reasons I was shopping for a new light) and I want to change them all out to a compact on/off switch like yours. When I say it burned out on me, I mean literally. Destructive inspection revealed that an internal solder joint had failed, which then created a high resistance connection, so that when I pushed on the pad, it instantly got hot enough to burn my finger. That will be my last pad switch.
I got the light...Was a litte sceptable at first...have tried it since and found it to be one of the best buys I have ever made. It is wonderful. At 150 yards , I can pick out the hogs and make a clean shot....Thamnks so much for this light---Well worth the monies.
I saw some guys hunting hogs under the Kill Light on Versus. That's great, hopefully some more people will see that and connect the lights on the show with the lights we use. Great products man. I couldn't be happier and my clients are definately as impressed as I am with all of your lights that we use.
hey folks, just want to let you know how much i enjoy hunting using the feeder lights that i got from you. i killed these three out at our ranch near abiline,tx using the lights on the deer feeder, i got one of them at 12:30am and then the other two at 1:30am. the lights work great! thanks again! Vivian R.
I wanted to drop you a short note to tell you how exciting hunting with one of your Kill Lights has been. I started trying to hunt pigs at night back in Christmas 2009, we tried various types of lights but found the glare made seeing game difficult.
I purchased a basic Kill Light after watching your UTube video and wow, instant success!
In June a friend and I went to my Deer Lease in Nacogdoches to do a little night hog hunting and to try out my new kill light.
The Hunt
Upon arriving at our hunting area at 11:00 pm, I walked down to the feeder and attached the Kill Light...NO SOONER had I turned the light on here come the pigs!!! Big, little, medium, a whole herd...I literally had to run down the road in order to get a safe distance from them.
Once I got to the stand area (60 yards away) my buddy and I started trying to find the pig we wanted to take...while trying to get our heart rates and breathing steadied we used hand held night vision scopes to watch the pigs and check their reaction to the kill light. The Kill Light didn't bother them at all, in fact it seemed to encourage their feeding.
The Shot
The gun I was hunting with was a M-4 .223 with an EOTech red dote site on it, I had no magnification but still had enough light to see the pigs under the Kill Light. I place the shot right throw the vitals and dropped my pig in it's tracks! Thanks Kill Light!
Well, maybe my note wasn't so short but the trip was fun and we are planning another in August. In fact we plan to order a XLR100 to get those pigs that just want come out into the light.
Thanks for developing a great product and keeping it where the average Joe can purchase it...If we get any photo's on the next trip well send you some
Sincerely,
Paul T. Spring, Texas
P.S.
My wife says "Thanks" for getting me out of the house...again :-(
I got the light on Friday, and i love it!! I think i have to go to Texas, and really check it´s potential. Amazing feeling to get to full draw and just turn on my personal sun, combined with Easton lighted nocks, it´s a killer. Thank you very much. I´ll try to make my friends your customers. You have lots of interesting hunting products so i´ll be back! > > My wife wanted to know why i did´nt get her one too. Had no good answer to that. > > Best regards > Knut
You were good enough to send me a pack of 5 flashing lights earlier this year or at the end of last year, when an order got slightly messed up. You told me to keep the non-flashing lights, rather than send them back to you.
I was part of a medical team sent to a hospital in Jaqumel Haiti for the last two weeks at the request of the UN medical cluster. Just on a hunch I threw the five non-flashing lights into my bag, it already weighed 140 lbs, so space and weight were at a premium For the first few nights we worked 24 hours a day, and I used the lights to mark a pathway through the hundreds of patients we had lying on the ground under tarps.
As the situation developed, we started to get access to lights at night, tents, proper stretchers and even beds for our patients. The lights of course disappeared, but since I got them free from you I was happy that some Haitian family had a light that would help them for as long as the batteries lasted. I gave my spare batteries to a family that I was pretty sure had at least one of the lights, so they will not all be wasted.
I never did get a picture of the lights under the tarps, but I wanted you to know that they were very much doing exactly what they were designed to do, but in a slightly warmer, wetter place. They were also doing a far more critical job than lighting the way to my stand during deer season.
Thanks for "marking the way" for us, you will never know just how useful the lights were.
Andy K. RN, Back in Maine and looking forward to next hunting season already !
I would like to commend you and your company on the many great products that you produce.
The sample illuma tacks that you sent me for my Hunter Education classes are a enormous hit with all of my students, young and older. We have had numerous discussions about how the illuma tacks can be used, from game recovery to safety, to locating deer blinds and tree stands in the mornings before sunrise.
There is also many ways your product can be used for safety. They can be placed above the hunter in the tree stand to alert other hunters of your presence. If you are hunting with young hunters you can place an illuma tack on the end of the muzzle to watch their muzzle control. You can also place an illuma tack on yourself and other hunters (vests or caps) to be easily located in the dark weather you’re going to your hunting spot or back in from hunting.
Your company has some very useful tools for hunting, please keep up the good work and please keep me informed of your new products, as I will be more than happy to show them off in my class, if I can help get the word out about your product please do not hesitate to call me.
