Using this light on a Trophy Ridge Firewire V5 (it's sold without a rheostat), is it possible the deer could see the light?

It's got three settings for different light conditions. If you use them right, the brightest closest to light and the least bright when it's darkest, they'd never see it. It's barely enough to light up the pins which is perfect.

Yes, but unlikely and only as much as any other fiber optic style site. The optic is directed back at you when you are aiming the bow, so unless the deer is behind you or off to the side they will not see it. This light does a pretty good job as well.

I don't believe so. It is similar to any other low voltage light where you connect it to a transformer.I have mine connected to the same low voltage transformer/controller that is used for all of the outdoor lighting.

Yes you can see it in the day light. I'm not sure if you will be able to use the old harness. I had to modify my old one slightly. By I got my old harness to work with slight modifications.

No, I use this light on my rifle to hunt foxes in freezing weather conditions With no problem

I found on our horse trailer that the lightswere a tight fit but did work. I highly recommend these lights. Good quaility. There is a "rubber" gasket on these lights that fits into the hole. 1/4" larger hole I would say would be fine. There are ways around this if the hole is slightly larger. The plastic ring around the light could be fasten to your trailor using a "self tapping" or using a fine bead of caulking. I would say they would fit fine though because mine were tight. They are easy to hook up and are great quailty. Good luck!

I haven't installed them yet looks like it'll be at least a (few hour) day task tho..running and adding wire..firewall to inside switch or splicing into wires on headlamps. I'll post info when/if I ever do mine in the near future. Let me know if/when you do yours. Good luck

Personally, I wouldnt be looking at the cheapest light on Amazon if I wanted specs that are associated with more expensive lights. But thats just me lol! This is a very good, basic headlamp-especially for what it costs. Dont expect that its gonna be a diving light or blind deer at night(well, I dunno...maybe it would blind deer? Never tried it).

The 5500 series models have the mechanical rheostat. The back half of the housing can be dialed in or out to expose more or less of the wrapped fiber optical cable. That allows the cable to gather more or less light as needed for the hunting conditions.

Hey Theodore I just purchased 2 of these for lights similar to yours. Both of mine went on with no problem. I looked at the pictures of the V-mount from http://amzn.to/1n8wXYh and compared it to my lights and didn't notice anything different. The only thing I can think of is if the release button on the V-mount is stuck pushed in or something.

I would try very hard to keep the light out of reach of the horse, but it would take a great deal of force to brake the light. I hope this helps!

Yes I direct wired it but I left the switch on and hid it under my dash so if I wanted it could easily change the pattern. It is a good bright light.

Hi, smart question you just asked me. The light output is not sufficient to work under the hood, unfortunately. I do a lot of work on my 300zx and this light output is disappointing. I now just use it in a closet, which is dark so the light is ok for that. More robust is the way to go. It was cool that you asked me! Joe

I am not sure about your sight. But I have tried the G5 unversal light kit for Trophy Ridge sight that I use and it is not bright enough for it. I figure it should be interchangeable for your sight since Trophy Ridge is a very good sight.

No, this particular version needs to be hardwired. There is another version, however, that works by just plugging it in. Be sure to check that out when you look in the descriptions for these lights.

Don't know why not. All the headlights etc. in a hybrid are 12 volt so it should wire in. Suggest you have the dealer do the simple install. Our company has many of these and animal hits are way down. It does not drive the deer off. It alerts them to your presence.

Dawn, Hello there. I have only had my cameras out for a few weeks and looked at the cards on my computer once. I cannot say I have seen the flash but I would think it does because of a few pic's I could see the deer very brightly lite. I can only guess for now that YES it does. You probably do not want the theif to see it going off but there are different modes you can set it at too. Mine are too far away from here for me to go get them and check them. Sorry but thats the best info I could give. GOOD LUCK WITH THAT THUG !! Barry

It does not for me. The low setting is so bright I only use the bright when necessary. I also have the I also have the Streamlight ProTac HL 1213 which has 600 lumens on the highest setting which is my favorite. But like I said get the Tenergy battery kit to save lots of money on batteries this is a great little kit. I was just up in the Mountains on spotted 50 deer bedding down with this light It was crazy and then I just made a bed up against a tree and just slept up in the High mountains at the top of snowbird. I love the more powerful one that I just mentioned a little bigger and more money but worth it. That one gets a little hot but nothing you can't handle. It does not for me.
