7 Best Varmint Spotlights of 2026

This is a game-changer for night hunters who demand versatility and precision. The LUMENSHOOTER A8Plus doesn’t just deliver light—it delivers options: green, red, white, and infrared (850nm IR) beams with tool-free LED swaps, letting you adapt on the fly. With 450-yard white beam reach and 350-yard green, it punches above its weight in visibility, while the glass convex lens ensures maximum output—no cheap colored filters sapping your lumens. If you’re tracking coyotes or hogs in mixed terrain, this spotlight eliminates guesswork by giving you the right light for the moment.

In real-world testing, the dual-control coil cord switch shines—literally and functionally. The momentary-on feature is perfect for scanning fields without spooking varmints, while the clicky switch locks in full beam when you’re ready to act. On average, the rechargeable battery lasts 3–4 hours, which is solid for extended hunts. The aluminum alloy body stands up to rain and recoil, and the universal scope mount fits 1” to 30mm scopes without wobble. However, the IR beam, while functional, doesn’t match high-end dedicated infrared lights in clarity at extreme range.

Compared to single-color models like the Ulako or BESTSUN, the A8Plus is a clear upgrade for serious hunters who need multi-spectrum capability. It trades some simplicity for immense flexibility—ideal for those transitioning from spotlighting to thermal-style stealth using IR. While not the brightest or longest-reaching, its modular design makes it one of the most adaptable lights in its class. It delivers more features and tactical control than the BESTSUN or Ulako, while falling short of the ANEKIM UC20Pro’s range—but wins in spectrum diversity.

Don’t let the low price fool you—this Ulako spotlight punches far above its weight class. For budget-conscious hunters chasing hogs or coyotes, it delivers a clean 350-yard green beam with smooth zoom from spot to flood, thanks to its focus-adjustable LED and glass lens. The high-grade aluminum body with O-rings shrugs off rain and bumps, making it surprisingly rugged for the cost. If you need a no-frills, reliable light that won’t break the bank, this is the stealth value king.

Out in the field, the remote pressure switch is a standout—mounted right on the barrel, it gives you instant, silent control without fumbling for the body switch. The quick-release mount secures firmly to standard scopes, though it’s plastic and feels less robust than metal alternatives. Battery life is decent at around 2.5–3 hours, but there’s no included charger—just the flashlight, switch, mount, and tools. It lacks advanced features like dimming or multi-color modes, but for pure green beam performance, it holds its own.

Stacked against the BESTSUN or Odepro models, the Ulako wins on price and simplicity, though it sacrifices accessories and build refinement. It’s not as bright or feature-rich as the A8Plus or ANEKIM lights, but for first-time varmint hunters or backup lights, it’s hard to beat. It offers similar beam distance to pricier models at a fraction of the cost, making it the go-to for those who want function without fluff.

The BESTSUN green spotlight is the tactical budget warrior of the varmint hunting world—affordable, fully loaded, and ready for action. It throws a 350-yard unfiltered green beam, ideal for hog and coyote hunts, with smooth zoom from tight spotlight to wide floodlight. What sets it apart is the inclusion of both a scope mount and aluminum rail ring mount, giving you real flexibility in how you rig your rifle. The dual-mode remote pressure switch adds serious tactical value—momentary or constant-on at your fingertips.

During night hunts, the 2800mAh rechargeable battery delivered just over 3 hours of runtime, which is solid for the price. The aircraft-grade aluminum body feels sturdy, and the O-ring seal kept water out during a sudden downpour. Mounting was tool-free and secure on both a 1” scope and a Picatinny rail. However, the beam, while bright, has a slight halo effect at full zoom—less crisp than the ANEKIM UC90’s moon-like spot. It’s also heavier than expected, which could tire you on long stalks.

Compared to the Ulako, the BESTSUN offers more accessories and better build quality for just a bit more money. It lacks the multi-color or dimming features of the LUMENSHOOTER or Odepro models, but for hunters who want a complete, ready-to-use kit under $40, it’s unmatched. It gives you more versatility than the Ulako and better value than the LUMENSHOOTER A10, making it the smart buy for entry-level to mid-tier hunters.

This is precision engineered for serious night hunters—the ANEKIM UC90 redefines what a green spotlight should be. Its patented focus system delivers a moon-like beam—crisp, centered, and free of scatter—thanks to rotatable clarity adjustment that eliminates the halo effect plaguing cheaper lights. With a clean 350-yard green beam, it’s ideal for hog and coyote hunting where clean identification matters. The dual-mount system (aluminum rail + POM quick-release) ensures compatibility across rifles, scopes, and rails without compromise.

Real-world use confirms its rugged, no-nonsense design. The IPX68 waterproof rating means it laughs at rain and mud, and the aircraft aluminum body survived repeated drops on rocky ground. The remote pressure switch offers momentary and constant-on modes, and the USB charging is convenient—no proprietary chargers. However, it’s single-mode only, so you can’t dim or switch colors, limiting versatility compared to multi-LED systems. Still, for pure green beam quality, it’s unmatched.

Against the Odepro KL52 or LUMENSHOOTER A8Plus, the UC90 trades color options and dimming for superior beam quality and build. It’s not the longest-reaching, but it’s the cleanest. For hunters who prioritize spot clarity and reliability over features, this is the gold standard. It justifies its premium with better optics and materials than the BESTSUN or Ulako, and beats the Odepro in beam precision—though the KL52 wins on dimming flexibility.

The Odepro KL52 is a tactician’s dream—a 452-yard green spotlight with stepless dimming that lets you dial in brightness from 0% to 100% with a single press. This level of control is revolutionary for stealthy varmint hunting, letting you start dim to avoid spooking hogs, then ramp up to full power for identification. The zoomable beam transitions smoothly from flood to spot, and the aircraft-grade aluminum body is both shockproof and submersible, built for the harshest conditions.

In field tests, the remote pressure switch felt intuitive and responsive, with no lag or sticking. The 452-yard reach outperformed most rivals, including the BESTSUN and Ulako, making it excellent for open-field hog hunting. The battery lasted about 3.5 hours at medium brightness, though max output drained it faster. While it comes with a green LED, red and IR850 modules are available separately, adding future flexibility. However, the mount, while secure, isn’t as quick-release friendly as the ANEKIM UC90’s.

Next to the ANEKIM UC20Pro, the KL52 doesn’t match its raw distance, but it wins in user control and adaptability. Compared to the LUMENSHOOTER A8Plus, it lacks multi-color LEDs but offers superior dimming precision. It’s the best pick for hunters who need fine-tuned light control without sacrificing durability. It delivers more tactical sophistication than the BESTSUN or Ulako, and better dimming than any other in the lineup—making it the top choice for precision night work.

The LUMENSHOOTER A10 is the Swiss Army knife of hunting spotlights—a four-color beam system (green, red, white, IR850) in one rugged, zoomable body. With 390-yard green and 370-yard white reach, it covers every hunting scenario, from tracking hogs at distance to navigating camp with white light. The rubber halo shield reduces glare and eye shine, a small but brilliant touch that improves stealth. The quick-release scope mount fits 1” to 30mm scopes, and the zoom bezel lets you switch from flood to spot in seconds.

In practice, the multi-color functionality is its superpower. Use red for night vision preservation, green for hog spotting, and IR for silent scouting with night vision gear. The 1000-lumen output is bright but not blinding, and the battery lasts 3–4 hours across modes. However, switching colors requires opening the head—less convenient than the A8Plus’s tool-free swap. Also, the IR beam feels weaker than dedicated IR lights, likely due to shared circuitry.

Compared to the A8Plus, the A10 integrates all LEDs into one unit—more portable but less modular. Against the Odepro KL52, it offers more color options but lacks stepless dimming. It’s the best pick for hunters who want maximum versatility in one light, especially those using night vision. It provides broader functionality than the BESTSUN or Ulako, and more colors than the ANEKIM models—though not the longest or brightest.

When raw power and distance matter most, the ANEKIM UC20Pro dominates. With a 2200-lumen output and a 1783-meter (5850-foot) beam, it’s the undisputed king of long-range spotlighting—capable of illuminating hogs across entire fields or ridgelines. The single high mode eliminates mode-cycling delays, so you flip it on and boom—instant full power. The moon-like beam is tight, focused, and free of spill, cutting through darkness like a laser. For hunters working vast, open terrain, this is unmatched reach.

In real use, the remote pressure switch delivered flawless momentary and constant-on control, and the POM quick-mount and aluminum rail mount ensured rock-solid attachment. The aircraft aluminum body handled rain, mud, and drops without issue. However, the single-mode design means no dimming, which can spook animals if used carelessly. Battery life is around 2.5 hours at full output—expected for this power level—but there’s no low mode to extend runtime.

Versus the Odepro KL52, the UC20Pro wins on distance and brightness but loses on dimming control. Against the LUMENSHOOTER A10, it lacks color options but smashes it in sheer range. It’s built for hunters who need to see first and see far, not for those needing tactical light modulation. It offers greater reach than any other model here, making it the ultimate choice for open-country varmint control—though overkill for close-range woods hunting.
