Reviews of Kill Light XLR250 (Green) Gun Mounted Night Hunting Light

Customer Ratings:

I don't hunt hogs as the light description describes. I hunt armadillos. Not for the sport, but to save my landscape from the damage these pests can do in just one night. If you've tried to stop these prolific diggers, you know you have to hunt them at night. I've bought several lights over the past few years for my AR-15. They were either made poorly and lasted a few months, or were nowhere near as bright as they claimed. I must admit I was very, very skeptical when I purchased this light. I've purchased huge spotlights that clamped on my gun and was impressed with the brightness, but they were too heavy or too bulkly. How could a light this small light up a target 250 yards away? When I opened the box I could instantly tell this was a well made product. When I mounted it to my AR and turned it on, I was simply amazed. It easily lights up objects at least 250 yards away. Not just a reflection of the eyes, but I am able to see the full animal easily through my scope. I will not be wasting my money on new lights in the future. I found the one. It's so refreshing to buy a product that does what it says. It's not cheap. But if you want to use your gun for long range shots at night without mounting a sattelite dish sized light on your gun, this is the one. Buy with confidence. Armadillos, beware.

i bought a kill light xlr250 and i am planning to purchase another 2! this light is small, lightweight, rugged, and powerful! great for scanning! it will light up over 250 yards! upgrade with the more powerful battery the 3000... it gives a better run time per battery. it comes with an easy mount system to several types of guns. home charger and car charger are a wonderful addition too! the green light does not spook animals. i mounted light on side of my scope and it lights up the target! most spotlights are bulky... this one is small and batterys are twice as large as a double a battery but it puts out some light! buy a couple extra batteries if you like to leave the light on all the time but 1 battery should do in a night hunt.. just scan and cut it off.. when ready to shoot turn on and fire.. it doesnt spook the wildlife, but the bang of the gun will! i am buying another in regular light for walking around at night... those things are the best lights on market!

Best Deals for Kill Light XLR250 (Green) Gun Mounted Night Hunting Light

I bought an XLR 250 Kill Light kit about a year ago and in the time since then, I have used it maybe a half a dozen times. I used the pressure switch tailcap on it almost exclusively because it was much quieter than the other tailcap options. I was quite satisfied with its performance. However, recently I was getting it out to use on another night hunt and found the switch to be failing. I emailed the company's representative asking what their policy was on product repair and/or replacement and this is the response I got:

" the lights come with a -year warranty on every part except the switch and the LED. The leds should never burn out, we will replace them for as long as the parts are still being made. The Switches are wearable items, they will wear out over time with normal use. This is why we only sell the replacements for $19.99 online. That way it not cost prohibitive to purchase replacements."

O...k, so if I have to buy a switch every half a dozen uses, that's just normal wear and tear and I should be happy to pay $19.99 for a replacement? I don't think so! That's going to add up pretty quickly I'm thinking.

I also own a LightForce 170 light and due to the fact that I didn't keep my battery on a charger 24/7, the battery died completely on me. I contacted Rick, who handles their issues, and he explained to me that in order to get the most life out of their lights, they recommend keeping their batteries on a charger all the time. Even though I had not kept up with that guideline, he sent me a replacement 9 amp 12 volt battery that they sell for a good deal more than $19.99 ($50 or more as I recall), no questions asked. Now that is a sterling example of customer service!

I guess some of these other companies just fail to realize that by taking care of customers just a little bit, they are getting very cheap advertisement by word of mouth. And by not taking care of customers in such a case, they are hurting their future business from new customers as well as repeat customers.

You may not have the same experience that I have, but I'm just giving you a heads up about how your issue may be handled if you do. Thanks for your time to read this post and happy hunting to all of you!

Honest reviews on Kill Light XLR250 (Green) Gun Mounted Night Hunting Light

This is a super bright light. One can easily spot targets from 200 yrds out. With the green LED one can see through the brush a bit more than with red and especially white. The green LED is a bit harsher on night vision in comparison to red light but that could be cause its so powerful too. This is worth the money.

Right out of the box I could tell that this is a well made product. This light puts out a tremendous amount of light. The green light makes objects at night very distinguishable with a scope out to about at least 300 yards . It is easy to mount especially since it comes with two different mounting options. The only thing i wish that the mount had is a way to adjust the light so that the point of aim is the same as the middle of your cross hairs on the scope. It is slightly off about four to five inches but the outer glow circle gives out enough light to see your target. The other thing is that on/off switch may be just loud enough in the quiet night for your target to hear and get spooked, but if you are in a blind far enough away it might not make a difference. I also like that it comes with two batteries and a charger that can be used at home or in the car's 12v plug.
