Low-Lumen Mini Red LED Flashlight, 625nm Wavelength Zoomable Soft Red Light Single Mode Torch, Night Vision Friendly for Stargazing Close-Range Reading & Star Chart Viewing (Battery Not Included)
A single-mode 625nm red LED flashlight with a zoomable head and low output, made for reading star charts and maps at close range without wrecking dark adaptation.
Price range: See on Amazon
What we liked
- + 625nm dim red light with a listed 15 inch effective range suits charts and eyepiece notes at the telescope
- + Single click on and off with a zoomable focus, so there are no extra modes to cycle through in the dark
- + Runs on one AA battery and is pocket sized, with a 12-month warranty listed by the seller
Trade-offs
- - The battery is not included, so you need to supply an AA cell before the first session
- - Low output is deliberate and limits it to close-range work, not walking a dark field path
