There's no info available on those scopes yet under either the Scopes or the Accessory Packages links on the web site. But the individual xbow pages do list the Red Dot light stuff package option. It's quite a bit cheaper than the Varizone light stuff package so I'm assuming it's a pretty basic Red Dot scope.

Ok I see now. I believe that these scopes were put in packages to help with customers that hunted in areas that would not allow scopes with magnifying properties. I believe that these red dots have a 1x power so they would qualify where the others are 2x-4x power and they do not.

Hope this helps, not sure how many dots in these scopes or if they are adjustable like the varizone or lumizone.

They are a very good quality red-dot from TRU GLO but they are a single dot sight. The multi-dot units are not great from what I've seen since the spacing of the dots is fixed and they have no way to compensate for different trajectories
