Are the ones I mentioned any good?
They are all much more than you need to spend, and have way too much light to throw a mere 50 yards or so for quarry I/D + a few more yards for eyeshine and will scare off bunnies big time. At those ranges you need fairly minimal light for the best success and red light is generally less noticed that white light.
One of these is more than enough for air ranges @ £6, and it's already red light:

Then order one of these for less than £2:

It takes about three weeks for the lens to arrive and it needs grinding down a tad round the edges to fit.
Then spray or paint your standard reflector black
