No filter, keep lamp out from animal eye.

I find an amber filter works well on the foxes.

Red is the least visible, amber/orange can be good. Steer away from greens, they are highly visible to foxes and rabbits. Blues also are highly visible.

 

Do you "need" to buy more? Well, are the foxes getting lamp shy? If yes, then a change of colour might help. If no, then no need to bother yet, though changing them around might mean it takes a bit longer for them to become conditioned to the filters.

i would take orange over red any day of the week at centrefire ranges.

if your using the hmr then your range will be more limited so red will be more then enough

a have never had any problem just using the lamp tried a few filters but never thought they did any good just my opinion

We tend to find the filters give you a bloody sore head after a while.

 

We only use the filters on the lamps to stop the lens getting scrached when not in use!!

I have/had red for both my Mini and Max Pro, but after I lost the red somewhere in the field for my mini several years ago I have used nothing but clear/white light as it comes.....but the dimmer is essential in my book!!
