Thread: Torches

Looking for recommendations on torches and torch light colours for hunting small game. Have read much about the maxtoch, olight and convoys on these forums but when I tried looking for maxtoch on aliexpress, they cost $340 now?

I currently have a cheapie Vastfire from Aliexpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005...6e9918029u0k8G, mounted on barrel, and it's worked great for lighting the way at night, I just wish the beam was more spread out as I can only see in a small area with it while scanning around and it's also really hard to pick out the bunnies from the shadows of the bushes unless I see their eyes. I've heard about de-doming and would like to attempt it just for fun since the torch was so cheap, but the LED is recessed in the torch and I need advise on how I could reach at it.


And here are a few questions too that I hope someone can answer.

If, when I buy a green/red torch does it come with a green/red LED or that it is just a green/red filter? Could I get away with replacing the glass on my Vastfire torch with a green tinted glass? Thinking of pairing that with a good headlamp so I don't have to hold the air rifle up whenever I'm scanning the area.

A mate I know suggested getting a bright spotlight to stun rabbits with, so is a very bright white light a better go-to than a coloured one?
