This isn't a for sale thread so please do not post anything along those lines.
I am thinking about expanding a hobby of mine. I currently build my own flashlights. I use red LED's and IR LED's for my night vision. I was thinking about making some to sell locally or elsewhere, but I don't know how much of an interest/need there is. These wouldn't be cheap $20 lights. Both the red and IR light up 200-300 yards depending on conditions. Red and IR don't throw as far as a white light. They would include the quality rechargeable batteries, a quality charger, and a picatinny mount. I will also probably cerakote the flashlight body as well. Most of the lights I see for sale are $100+ and include a cheapo charger with cheap batteries.
I have been using red lights for hog hunting and they work awesome. They don't spook deer or hogs. I've used green before and it spooked the deer. Would you pay this for a quality hunting light? I'm just trying to get a feel before I drop several hundred dollars on supplies.
