Just an update. I installed some LED light strips on my Caldwell chronograph and it works very well. I know they sell lights meant for this but the Caldwell ones are $67. These lights were $16 from Amazon.
Actually, I already have a set of Caldwell lightbars that I bought years ago (you can see it right beside the pump). The version that I have though only came with an AC adapter. I know the newer models come with a battery box that you can use instead of the AC adapter. I thought about getting a battery box for my Caldwell lights but what confused me was the AC adapter on mine says that it outputs 24v. A battery box with 3 AA batteries is only 4.5v.
I like to do this kind of stuff in the dark at night. My neighbors are cool but I just want to keep gun stuff on the down low. I just put this out in the middle of the woods at night and no one's the wiser. That's actually one of the main reasons why I even thought of buying a radar unit in the first place... so that I'm not dependent on daylight. For how little I plan on using this, I think this is an acceptable solution for me.
FYI, when I do this at night, I'm well within inside the window so the muzzle report of a moderated 31 FPE .22 gun from the outside is very minimal. Also, I'm only shooting 5 shots, max 10 shots, once in a blue moon, so I'm not out there every night firing the gun all night long keeping everyone awake.
