Looking for a decently priced IR light to attach to my AR for Hog elimination.

I've heard the Sniper Hog 66LRX is the thing to GET but that damn thing is GIGANTIC, has pretty poor battery life (2-3 hours) and I really don't feel like paying $200 for it.

I found some $50-$100 lights on Amazon (seem like Chinese stuff), but I'm worried they may just be as bad as the light that came with my scope.

My shooting distance is going to be inside 300 yds.

I found some lights by Evolva (sold out everywhere), UniqueFire, and Night Fox all around $30-$75. Are these lights any good at all?

Sightmark Photon, period full stop.

You can catch a used one on eBay for right at 300, maybe less if you are lucky. The new sightmark Wraith is excellent but I assume more than you want to spend ($700-800).

I have two Photons. An older one on an AR and the newer version on a 6.5 grendel. They are both absolutely deadly out to about 100 yards with IR. If there is a full moon and your hunting fields you can see much farther without using IR. The only big difference is with the newer Photon I can record the shot through the scope, old one doesn’t have that feature.

The wraith HD is only 500. The new wraith 4K is 800.00. From what I understand the only significant difference is the ability to record in 4K. I have the photon xt (discontinued) and it's a great digital NV for the money. You will want to add a IR light for sure. I went with a cheap fandyfire off amazon that works great.
