I have a ludicrous lumens night saber triclops in 68mm, it swaps between, red Amber and white, comes with a dimmer as standard , you can also purchase a rats tail dimmer, superb bit if kit for a bit less than the other two, will easily id at 200 yards. I also recommend his 3d printed adjustable torch mount.
Wicked lights ?

I have a Wicked Lights torch on scope, but it is the A51 IR, 2 IR Leds+ 1 red led. For a purely lamping torch, I can't really comment, some of these laser torches may have superseded the LED ones. It has a good dimmer though, but others may be better qualified to help, especially with the dimmer quality. The red led is good for 160-200yds depending on the murk. As with all torches, good quality optics are vital. You should ask Scott County if they have one you can try, they are pretty helpful. If I had a choice, I would use an Amber light all the time, good in murk, brighter than red or green, hares & deer definitely take less notice, as do some foxes.

I didn’t realise SC would do that,I’ll give em a call
Be careful with power ratings of torches, there is always a compromise between size power & usable light. While those bigger lenses & batteries may have more power, you might get a bit fed up with all this clunk on top of a precious scope, its certainly unwieldily more prone to getting knocked weightier etc.Foxes will move further away. Also the amount of water in the atmosphere has a huge effect on effectiveness, you end up lighting the night sky but not seeing more than sixty yards through scope magnification. Moon phase plays a part, dark nights give you a clearer picture but foxes are more sensitive to a lamp. When the moon is up, they don't notice the lamp going on them so much. I shot plenty of foxes with a Nightmaster & Deben tracer, crap dimmers though, they would cut out before dimming right down. Also the mounts were awful plastic affairs, broke easily. The mount for the wicked lights I believe is all metal but make sure, has thumbwheel for elevation & windage. The light itself is focusable, from square spot to flood, at tight focus you see a bit of strobing at low power, lines in the picture, but adjusting focus very slightly helps. With the dimmer right down you will pick its eyes & with a bit of squeaking you may get it to come in to those vital 30-40 yards, up the light & clang it. If only Wicked lights had an orange pil. Best lamp I ever used was a Lightforce with a dimmer & amber filter, but it ran off a car battery & needed a extra man. You will find out that a dimmer is your best friend. Hope that helps.

No filters but you can buy exchangeable LED pills - comes with one only, but white, red green and IR are available. Best Fox Call sell the torch, and LEDs are: £25 for IR, £35 for others.

I have had the wicked light package for 2 years now and cant fault it
Dropped it a few times mounted it on my 25.06 and 223 and also used as a hand for lamping
Happy with it so far

Sorry to bring this thread back to life but @Freeforester I’ve been reading your opinions and you are a fan of the W10 which is no good for me as I need a spotter but you mention a modded e10 but I can’t see what the “mod” is, could you explain. Thanks!!

Apologies for slow response, just seen this: the diameter of the alloy body of E10 can be turned down from 31,7mm to 30mm, so that a mount of that internal diameter can be used to attach it to your scope:
