With the ever changing and improving hunting light choices do you think its possible to have to much light?

I was having this conversation yesterday with a friend.  Yes I do think you can have too much light but I don't think we are there yet.

Just wondering if anyone has had times when the predators retreated when hit with the bright shooting lights?

I respectfully disagree with the blinking part of your statement.  I have several fox blink at me every year that I kill.

Predators blink there eyes in the daylight too and there is no artificial light on them.

What I mean is If you notice they're blinking excessively, It will be obvious when it happens. and Usually they the "Surprise" foxes.

The Killlight is a good light but the CoyoteTLR is a better light

I know what Ryan means and have had it happen when I started night hunting. the fox will blink excessively and turn its head instead of looking right at you

LL, they're not blinking at your aggressively because you're light is too powerful, they're blinking excessively because,well, you're hard to look at...even at 100 yards.... :o

I have not noticed an animal blinking excessively even with using a white led.  the way you use your light makes a big difference as well.
