So I just got off a short two hour guard shift in my old playset as the goats were spooked round milking time and we have a predator problem ive been out there for the last few hours with my rifle and nightvision monocular
while me and dad here soon are going in together to get a good nv scope i using my gen one monocular notice it doesnt work so well with out alot of ambient light and since most people here as well as me are ona budget i was trying to think of a cheap and economical way to passivly illuminate my AO in such a way as to not disturb the wildlife and also give me a better chance at covertly getting a cyote or two without hitting my spotlight on my rifle and trying to hit em running
heres what i thought of the little solar led garden lights are everywhere and leds are cheep what if you bought a bunch of infra red leds and replaced the normal leds in the garden lamps and placed them as fencepost caps or wherever it would illuminate the area and provide extra light for gen one and two devices to pick up my surreptitious friends

but it would also work for human intrusion as people are used to seeing garden lights and the ir leds wouls not arouse suspision as they would not be able to be seen at night but illuminates your yard like its 12 noon
any thoughts on improving this idea would be great as i hate cyotes
