I shelled out $50 for the new magical gerber blood seeing light. Arrowed a doe at dusk,and was very exictied to use this new spooky light. Bottom line... it's a joke. I found that my 60 lumen surefire showed much more visable blood than my new 'csi' wonderlight. When the blood trail thinned out and I was tracking blood spot by blood spot on my hands and knees, I would find a small spot with the surefire and then try to find it with the gerber, inches from my face and often could not. Save your money, this one's a fraud.

Thanks for the info I was tempted to pick one up
Do you think this new Surefire Kroma would be any better ?
It has the option of the red or blue LEDs for tracking blood.

Being an old(very old) bow hunter I have tried every type
of light known to man and still use a single mantel coleman
lantern because it produces a yellow light that realy reflects off blood and covers a larger area
than a flashlight.
Most LED,s produce a bluish light that doesent reflect as
well as the lantern.
Although not as handy the lantern still works best for me.
and I cary a small spritzer bottle of hydrogen peroxide
to verify that some small spots are blood.(peroxide will
foam up when exposed to blood).
Hope this helps

Its a custom built light... Uses a 2d maglite host and NIMH batteries. Runtime with the 1150 Lumen lamp is about a half hour, with the 600 lumen lamp its just under an hour.
Theres also some longer runtime options avalable.
Ive got enough parts on hand to build 4... 2 are spoken for.
Prices are about $100 without batteries and charger, $175 or so with batts.
