GOT QUESTIONS?
  • What are the differences in the HT Light Packages?
    SNT offers 3 packages in the HT Ghost Gray Light series. While all HT hunting lights are designed to be self sustaining, there are significant benefits to the upgraded packages. HUNTER: Standard Light package, 3 mounting options & 8W solar panel. Great for normal wildlife traffic. X-CELL: Same as Hunter package, but with upgraded high-efficiency 20W solar panel. Great for feeders with heaiver traffic or locations that do not get as much direct sunlight. PREMIUM: Same as X-Cell package, but comes with the following upgrades / acessories, AGM Battery, Tripod mount adapter, High-efficiency Processor, & 20% Brighter LED's! Perfect for the hunter who wants it all without having to buy any additional battery. Awesome for feeders with heavy traffic. Thanks to the upgraded processor, although 20% brighter, battery consumption is lower than our Hunter & X-Cell package lights.
  • What is the Warranty on my HT Feeder Light?
    Your Harvest Time – Feeder Lights come with a 1 year from date of purchase, mfg warranty and a limited lifetime warranty against any workmanship defects. Repair services are available for lights outside of the standard warranty period.
  • How long will my HT Feeder Light last?
    You should expect many years of use from your HT Feeder light. To date it is the longest lasting light commercially available. Our wear components are extremly robust. The box used is a commercial electrical box made of a UV Rated ABS blend. It is NEMA 1, 2, 4, and 4X rated, UL Listed (file no. E194432). Additionally the box as manafactured, is Waterproof to IP65 and IP66 specifications. The head necks are outdoor UV rated flex electrical conduit and the heads are cast from a fishing lure epoxy with a UV inhibitor.
  • How many Lumens does the HT Feeder Light produce?
    Below are the Harvest-Time feeder light output readings at maximum brightness for each head. For total calculations multiply the Lux value by 2, Since this light has “2 heads”. NOTE: Thanks to the upgraded processor and our 2nd Gen LED bulbs; Premium package lights sold after 11/11/2020 average 20% brighter in all test results. Source - 12,000 Lux (x2) 6ft - 250 Lux (x2) 20yds - 10 Lux (x2) 20yds - 356 Lumen (45°focused beam est) A Lux is defined as 1 lumen spread over a square meter (1 Lux equals 1 Lumen/m2), in other words - light intensity / brightness in a given area. Some manufactures sell lights with a Lumen rating. While this is not bad, it can be deceiving. For example, why is it possible to cearly see with a quality brand white light at 100 lumens, while a lesser brand with a rating of 1000 lumens, may be brighter, but harder to see. Another example. Why is it a 200 lumen green LED will illuminate very well, but a red LED light of equal value is less than 1/4 as bright? Intensity, brightness and the overall ability to see are directly relative to the way the lumens are cast. This can be best measured with Lux. Harvest-Time lights are built around the principle that you should be able to "See" to shoot! Depth perception and body angle are very important, especially with archery shots. You can rest assured that you will have all the light you need to properly execute your shot.
  • What is the Optimal Settings for my HT Feeder Light?
    Light settings may be adjusted to suit personal preferences or uses, however the dials on the bottom of the Motion Detector have been pre-set from the factory for optimal performance. All notes below are with the “white lens” of the motion detector oriented in the upright / skyward facing direction. Far Left dial “SENSITIVITY” should be fully clockwise for maximum range (10yds) or place at 8-9 o’clock or 270° to reduce triggering by wind and small game. Center dial “TIME” should be set to 3 o’clock or 90°. This will keep the light active for roughly 5 minutes after the last PIR (motion) trigger. Far Right dial “LUX” should be set fully counter-clockwise. This prevents the PIR from triggering during daylight which can drain the battery. NOTE: For testing only, LUX dial can be turned fully clockwise which will trigger the PIR even in broad daylight. Always remember to turn back to counter-clockwise after testing. The wire coming from the SOLAR PANEL, plugs directly in to the jack on the light box. Use the included brackets to mount solar panel vertically or horizontally, but facing the best sun (for most areas in the US, directly South to Southwest pointed toward the sky at a 45° angle, works best). NOTE: When switch is First turned on, light will likely illuminate and stay on until no motion is sensed regardless of ambient lighting. After PIR sensor fails to sense movement for more than 7 min, light will cycle off and remain off until desired Lux setting is reached and PIR is activated.
  • What if my HT Light looks dim, or my Battery dies?"
    Battery Failure In case of limited sun or excessive activity, the battery may not have a chance to fully recover / charge. A quick way to check is to look at the LED's. If the green LED's do not illuminate, with only the red LEDs illuminated, the battery is low. Below are a few options for troubleshooting and help. Note: Light can be activated by turning lux dial clockwise all the way to the right (do not forget to turn it back counter-clockwise to the left before leaving). If light does not illuminate at all, check connections to battery. Make sure solar panel has a clear view of the Southern sky. If not, you should consider additional solar panels with a HT "Y" adapter. Replace battery with one fully charged. Turn power off. The battery will recharge in 1-2 days of sunlight (turn light back on when ready to use). A Harvest Time lithium battery can also be used The lithium battery must be recharged using the included charger. Note: Lithium battery is NOT solar panel compatible. Plug in the lithium battery into solar panel port (or internal port if equipped).
  • If my Hogs are Feeder-Shy; will this light help?
    Although the HT Feeder Light is hard for the swine to see, they can still see it to a certain degree. If you see the hogs are already feeder shy or wary of man-made objects, this light will not magically make them comfortable, however, given a few days to get used to the small change, your visitors should settle back into their normal routine. In our experience this only happens with extremely pressured hogs who are already schizophrenic (as we like to call them). We have seen on average, Less than 2 nights of altered behavior as opposed to “other lights” casing disruption in hog traffic for 2 weeks, and in some cases for up to 3 months.
  • Why does my HT Feeder Light look different than pictured?
    We are truly grateful of your support for our Veteran owned company. We strive to produce what we feel is one of the best lights on the market. Each Light is assembled by hand right here in the US, and every function fully tested before shipment. Some light boxes may vary in color and shape from stock images, however core components and LED’s are all the same premium products.
  • Does the HT Feeder Light come with a battery?

All Harvest-Time feeder lights are engineered to use a standard 12V 7AH sealed feeder battery w/ F2 or T2 terminals. Available from Swine-N-Tines or most sporting goods stores. Additionaly the light may be powered by a 12v lithium power pack available in our web store.

Additionally, Light can be laid on its back and mounted to a tripod using the enclosed aluminum tripod adapter using the 2 supplied thumb screws Swine-N-Tines offers a lithium battery that can be used to temporarily power the light available in our web store. This battery is much lighter and is intended for a one night hunt and should be charged thereafter. The battery must be recharged using the included wall charger. Note: Lithium battery is NOT solar panel compatible. Portable Tri-Pod Parts Medium to Heavy Duty tripod Supplied tripod adapter
