57$ easy hog light

[2050z]

Here is what I did....

I ran the 12V solar panel that came with the LED light (yes, it is 12V solar cell, but the internal battery is 6V) to a small SLA battery and then to the light. I put a diode inline with the (+) so the batterey wouldn't feed power to the solar cell and drain the battery it when there wasn't sun. The constant 12V feed into the light makes it brighter.

I put a camera on the same 4X4 and ran a 6V solar cell to a 6V battery in the box and ran that to a plug to the external power feed of the light.

I put a red filter on the light. A buddy has the same light on the same lease and took the filter off and the hogs still came and didn't run off when the plain white came on.

I put the batteries in a $12 conduit box I bought form Home Depot and ran the 3/8" flex conduit to everything. I sealed everything up with silcone and reinforce the attachment points the the solar cell, LED light and the camera with silicone. Hopelully it holds. I also used some of the little hold down for the flex conduit to keep it all inplace. The camera and the light should work for a while without having to do anything to them.

Okay this looks like it should last a long time.

Wildgame Innovations makes a mountable motion activiated light. Comes with red, green, blue, and clear lenses. Has lots of options with settings and is extremely easy to install on a feeder. Runs on a 6v feeder battery and costs less than $35....

Any pictures of this thing in action?

Nice set ups .

checked my light this morning and it works. Downside is the motion sensor only seems to work on one side. I have pictures of deer and hog under feeder, but the light is not on.

When the light was on it did not seem to bother them.

Thank for all the help! Put mine out yesterday

[Drycreek3189]

Had mine out ( two ) since a couple weeks after this thread started and although the red film has faded to pink, they are still running strong !

Works decently just In my experiences it won't work past 15 feet without getting really dim

i built my 1 year ago, but it is currently on my feeder and about to be switched on as soon a deer season ends...
