Use a red light, as long as it has a red filter should do the trick, CO2, you don't need to much range...I used to use torches and put red sweet wrappers over the lense - or a bit or red craft film type stuff, will work the same.

Cheers Giles. Think I may have a punt on one of the ebay specials, which will take the usual ten weeks to get here (I could do a review here, maybe?). Sadly the only torch we've got is a Maglight that takes eight D cells, which might unbalance my POA a bit if I duct-tape it to my gun. Or bend the barrel.

Good tip on the red film, I'd forgotten that any light apart from red knackers your night vision.

Take care mate,

I bought something similar to this on Amazon. It has a rechargeable battery, and the clamp that comes with it fit my Crosman 2240 CO2 carbine, as well as all my other rifles.

Just search for "red hunting light" and you should get all sorts of options. I do like the idea of putting a red cellophane wrapper over a white light with a rubber band! Maybe you could just buy the clamp?

Good luck!

Thanks Bill, that looks identical to the ones on ebay for not too much money at all. I think I'll give one a go.

I'm shooting an SMK CP2 which isn't a million miles from the 2240, looking forward to getting a few rats out of the hay barn.
