Amazon has solar charged battery powered motion activated lights for $20. The white light doesn't spook hogs/*****/deer after a week. I have one that still works great after 3 years on my feeder leg.

 

As stated above after a few days the white light does not affect anything that I can tell. Deer, hogs and ***** come calling as usual. Here is the lights I use and they went underwater during Harvey and are still working. They also are three years old. They are cheap Chinese junk before someone points that out to me. So are all the rest you can buy. LOL

i hunt in the thick woods of east Texas, i'm afraid i wouldn't get much solar power out of them being its so shady. Has this effected either of you?

 

really can't answer that as I do not know how much sun it takes to recharge. I am in the bottoms of the Colorado river and pretty shady. I will guess the lights get about 3 to 4 hours good sun per day. Just a guess.

 

You can buy that light at bed bath and beyond.


My wife has two in the back yard. One only last Two years dang! Lol.

 

Mine gets sun 3-4 hours and shade the rest of the day but gets charged enough. My light only comes on for 10 seconds when it senses motion so a charge lasts OK. For the price you should try one. Check Amazon for Lovin Product Home Security 62 LED solar powered light. $19. Like the one I have.

 

Get two of the yard solar paneled spot lights and use a red permanent marker...they last nearly all night long...don't really need a lot of direct sun light. Tie-wrap them to the legs or cage. I have two on my feeder and to be honest you really could get by with one.

Just be sure to get the adjustable spot light...works get for $9.00 each. I had one go bad so I'm glad I set it up originally with two.. I've used these same light on my offshore boat for light at night on the deck while tuna fishing...those two worked for several years even in saltwater!

 

I have used these for several years.

LED motion security lights that have the solar charger. My buddy has some from harbor freight that work fine in his back yard, and would do well for a feeder. Knowing him, he didn't pay more than $15-$20 each.

I prefer to not have white light, but nothing a little colored plastic wrap and some zip ties or tape wouldn't fix.

 

Picked up some of these to try out. Pulled the trigger when Amazon had a deal @ 2 for $49.99

This pic has the light @ 10 yards from feeder and it wasn't pitch dark when I took it so may need to adjust after testing a bit more.

If that light is not bright / close enough, no problem.

 

Board cutt to length, put on with zip ties works fine. Could add carpet or other padding.
