Light for tracking blood at night

Has anybody bought a flashlight specific for tracking blood at night? I saw an ad for a flashlight that supposedly illuminates the blood specifically at night due to the lens color of the flashlight. I’d be interested to grab one if it worked as advertised but some reviews say it’s a complete waste of money. Anybody have one and really like it or think it’s worth the $45-$70?

I have one,it’s a waste of money.
Best thing is a Coleman lantern.

For whatever reason, an incandescent mag light works better than an LED for blood trailing, but I haven’t had or used one in years

No. Just get the brightest widest beam light for the money you want to spend.

LED does work for tracking but you have to get a Kelvin color of 2700K or less. Kelvin color of 5000K of more will not pick up blood very well.
The more the light looks "yellow" the better it is, that's why a Coleman lantern works so well.

Best thing is a blood dog who will usually find it.

The primos bloodhunter is outstanding. I’ve got a ton of different lights, but nothing shows blood better than that light. Bought my friend one for his birthday because he was so impressed with it.

Pure black lights don’t work on fresh blood at all. Scorpions, millipedes and dog piss in your house will glow like crazy, but not fresh blood.
If you have what you think is a well house broken dog and have access to a black light, take the black light and go through your house one night. Little suggestion, don’t do it when your wife is around.
You will be astounded.

I don't have s specific flashlight for blood trailing deer. I use a powerful headlight so my hands are free in case I have to make a shot. If I feel like I've made a good shot (good sight picture, deer acts like it was hit, sounds of deer crashing through the woods) but I didn't see the deer go down, I like to wait at least 15 minutes. I might get down sooner if's nearing dark. Sometimes a really bright light can "wash out" the blood so you might find it works better using the edges of the light. Use as few as helpers (if any) as needed. Too many trackers in the woods can damage the trail, especially if the tracker's not very experienced.
