Blackdog92 2,047 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I use a red filter on a 170 tracer to scan the feild first then flick it off when on a run. It restricts the beam a fair bit. It seems to work pretty well for now may have to change colour when they wise up to it. Quote Link to post

Bosun11 537 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I've been using them from the off Dai, a lamps too bright without one! In a lot of places filtered light is a must, because critters are too spooked without colour. Though dont get me wrong, once they know what filtered light is, they are on to it same as white light. One thing i've never done is run my quarry with the filter still on, though it seems a lot of people do...! Me an my dog are out there to catch quarry, it aint the Waterloo Cup out there, so i'm gonna give that dog every chance i can and dazzle the feck out of whatever i'm gonna run. Quote Link to post
frankel 2,123 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I think there a waste of time for me in my opinion. I've tried them but seem to make no difference for where I go. Quote Link to post

I only use it when i bring my mate to slip the dog and i dont clip the filter on i just hold it in place with my hand and pull it away when the dog is up on the rabbit Quote Link to post

bunnyboiler 1,053 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Always used one either on my blitz or striker with a dimmer and will slip the dogs with the filter on until the quarry moves then whip it of 1 Quote Link to post
Somewhereyournot 1,117 Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Seen some lad post up what he did was cut two clips off filter so one is left, screw a hinge to the filter and screwed Ginge to bottom of the lamp. Clever way of doing it Quote Link to post
