if I'm remembering right that's a 12Volt light... I had a 250 and that was to bright... if they got within 60 yards or so they'd start blinking and turning their head as the light was hurting their eyes...

I agree, thats to much light.  The 100 yard is perfect.
"Predators are either active & feeding, semi-active & callable, or utterly inactive & then practically speaking, no call is needed; we're just taking our guns for a walk. We can & should get used to it, & follow their leed cuz they just ain't eager nor apt to follow our’s any time soon!

The 350 yard lights I owned were 6 volt, they might have made a 12 volt one but I never used one.

   If you are hunting small two or three acre fields or in woods you do not need the 350 yard light but it will work but you have to be careful not light up your stand area to much with reflected light. The 100 yard works ok in woods in and is a good choice for on a shot gun.  However in open fields and after you get some light experience you can go to a lot stronger light then even the 350 yard light in the open fields.
