Red Lens Flashlight?

[rrruuunnn]

When do you use a red light?

 

[mcdonl]

Coyote Hunting. I mount one on the bottom of my carbine. Yotes cannot see the red light.

When you are reading a map on patrol and want to preserve your night vision.

 

[MortalWombat]

Or when you are reading a star chart while stargazing and want to preserve your night vision.

 

[psyopspec]

While getting up in the middle of the night to hit the piss tubes.

Green and blue also work, with the added advantage that it's easier to see blood (appears blackish).

 

[mgkdrgn]

Flying at night.

I don't do that kind of work anymore

 

[plateshooter]

I keep one under my pillow at night. I can get up, do whatever I need to, and not lose my night vision.

As repeated above, it's all to keep night vision. Low red light doesn't disrupt the chemical change the "rods" in our eyes undergo under low-light conditions.

When picking night crawlers.

most led lights

I have found out that most of my Led lights do not hamper my night vision.

Also, if you have really light-sensitive eyes they can be helpful for not fricasseeing your eyeballs when you need just a little extra illumination. (For example, mine are so sensitive I have to have filtered, polarized lenses even under normal room lighting--like somehow my eyes have built-in "starlight scopes", although not as good as the high-tech version.)

Walking through the barracks at night to use the latrine, reading maps and sand tables when conducting night ops, and reading and filling out reports in the patrol car at night. In some cars, we've actually put one of those round push-in dome lights with adhesive on the back in inside the patrol cars, and colored them red. Much better that using the stock interior dome lights.

In AZ where I live this is a quick and easy way to go to jail. I don't know about where you live, but using a flashlight to assist in taking game is a big no no here.

 

[Kyle1886]

Darkroom printing, etc in photography.

 

[possum]

in military operations like said above reading maps etc but that is all. i used it alot last deployment, but this one i have not needed too.

Myth, dogs see red light just fine so do coyotes

MrCleanOk,

LOL. I've thought about visiting Banff and Vancouver. I've been told to take a drive in Alaska.
