Which colour is best during daylight hours to scare away those pesky birds?

My mate put me on to the wanfare torch (carp spirit one without the carp tax) in red. It scares birds in sunny daylight really effectively. £15.99 on eBay.

Don't suppose you have a link? Wanfare gets zero results on an eBay search

Can anyone confirm if the single red torch in link in post 6 is zoomable please ? Description on ad says the 3 in 1 is but not clear for the single led.

Thanks Braders, I thought that might be the case.

I got one from amazon that was rated on here which was terrible. In the end I got the Carplife one and it works incredibly well with tuftys and ducks. Coots seem more bothered by a green light.

The ones linked to on eBay are exactly the same as the carp life one. I can only suggest that people bought a lower lumen version which is available hence not working very well.
Myself and about 6/7 others bought the one I linked to and every single one works really well, even on swans during low light.

I bought the one in the link but returned it and got a refund.
It worked on a pair of swans right in the margins but had literally no affect at all on anything else.
I'll just got back to sticking a spod of bait out when the birds are on me.

Which link. I noticed that the one I linked was 20000 lumens and the other was 10000 lumens. Only half the strength.

Of the obvious colours, anything but red I would imagine.

No not zoomable. I did look at a zoomable one but it just looks like the different colour lights have different ranges and there is no actual zoom.
I'd say just go for the biggest lumens possible that you can.

There is a 30000 lumin one.
Would this be even better?

I guess higher the lumen the brighter it'll be so should work better in the day.

As I said earlier. It's only 10,000 lumens. The one I suggested is 20,000 and there is obviously more powerful ones as well.

As far as I've witnessed Green doesn't scare them as much. Red seems to get everything, swans don't seem as bothered by any light.
