Type pelican light box in your finder is the easy way . Several places have them but i check out several as noted above as they all run sales from time to time . The last one i got was Northern Safety on line . They also have lots of other lights .

Surefire,
Stream light,
Inova.
All are about a bright as the Hi beams on a car.
The Inova is neat as you can set it real bright or a second click and it is down to 30 Lumins.
Also comes with a belt clip that can be stuck on your ball cap as a head lamp.  Uses the 123 Battereis.
A freind was showing me his this past weekend and I have a few on order with him.  One for me one for Dad and one for my friends B-day comming up.

Here is the best light I have ever seen for night hunting, We use em for Hog hunting at night, and the animals dont even know they are in the light.

They are led and can be made to hunt as far away as 200- 300 yards a mere 12 volt feeder battery will run them for up to eight hours.

I forgot to add that it comes with a scope ring that will mount on a rifle scope or a lug that will mount on camera tripod.

Guy's won't a regular led light spook the hogs? The light OLDSHOOTER suggests looks awesome I will probobly be sitting in a tree stand and would want something that would mount to my scope or would it be better to have a handheld model Doesn't hunting tactic's call for a red lens ?

As I mentioned in the PM, the one I use has three led's a red then a green and then a red again and it will light up to and include 100 yards ahead with a 25 to 30 yard width.
