what colour filter do you fox shooter's use on your lamps please

[Guest JohnGalway]

As yet I don't use a filter. But, I'm going to get an amber filter for two particular candidates. I tried red, to me I lost too much light and every damn thing was red (lol, obviously).

I RARELY USE A FILTER I JUST GET THE LAD THAT LAMPING TO KEEP THE LAMP WELL OVER THE FOX BUT U CAN STILL SEE THERE EYES I LINE UP THE FOX AND THEN GET THE LAMP DOWN MAKE SURE AND BANG FILTERS ARE OK FOR LAMP SHY FOXES BUT HARD TO GET DISTANCE FOR SAFE SHOOTING.BUT IT I WAS USEING IT I WOULD USE RED,CHEERS SOUNDER

Used to use a red and amber filter, red lost to much light and amber was better, but it was always a hassle to carry them around and fit them when needed. Now I use an inline dimmer switch from Deben, seems to have the same effect as filters, just reduce the light a little on a shy fox, seems to become not so shy!!!

The dimmer is a good thing, works just like if you were to lower the light infront of the fox. Often found that dimming it a bit and he'll pop his head up or look at you again where as if you'd the full beam on he'd not be interested, makes them feel safer I reckon.

I use a red filter on my Lazerlite and an amber filter on my Lightforce. I would say the amber filter is the best . Never use white light as dont like the world to know what were doing. I have heard that some guys have good results with a green filter but never tried it myself.

Tried the red but lost too much light for my liking.......... so now i don't use any and still getting them, if lamp shy i give a quick flash, then if he runs give a squeel, and hope he stops, 95% success this way so far.

some filters can be a hinderence to carry round all nite. there is a shy fox on my place. i have 2 lights: Lightforce 240blitz and a Lightforce SLM140. ive been using the blitz (much bigger) and he runs to that straight away. im going to go out 2nite with the SLM and see how i go. ill let you know how i go. cheers
