two ways to go..

 

12v with a dimmer switch, sometimes brighter is worse etc...

with filters. red and orange mainly.

 

red for rats..(and rabbits)

orange for rabbits...some times on rats.

blue's for 'tracking blood spots aparently'

yellows for fog/mist (and for a change when stuff gets used to white or the colours your using)

green...havent got a clue tbh.

 

 

or those little CREE LED torch's or some such Tactical type.. theyre usualy 1 inch boddies so a standard 1 inch '8 ring' from ebay will mount to your scope.. theyre bright..plenty good enough for argun stuff.

again filters are handy.. you can improvise filters with acetate or watever that lets light through in a colour.. blue-tack and electrical tape works as a filter 'mount' very well.

 

for either a presure switch is handy.. but not vital. (mount the switch by your trigger and you'll have to let go so the light will go out..has worked for me as some rabbits stop because theyre dazzled then its pitch black, but on the whole it's better mounted on the front hand so you can breech the next pellet out the mag and still see.. again blue tack mounts the switch very nicely..and come's off your stock without a glue patch from a velcro pad.)

 

the rest is price........
