A head torch with red light is a head torch that, in addition to the usual white light beam, produces red light. The advantage of a red beam is that you won't lose your night vision. Red LED lights often don't have a high light intensity. All because a red beam is not meant to reach far. A bright red beam could namely still make you lose your night vision.
A 5-lumen beam is more than enough to see something up close or to light up the path in front of you. When using red light making a distinction in colours is more difficult, but the contrast is bigger.
What do you need to pay attention to when purchasing a head torch with red light?
When purchasing a head torch with red light you need to pay attention to the way you switch between the white and red beam. Depending on what you will use the head torch for other things are important here. While hunting, for instance, it is important you don't accidentally turn on the white beam and scare off animals. In those situations you prefer a separate button to turn the red light on. If you easily want to switch between white and red light (when camping, for instance) a turning wheel is better.
Head torch when reading maps
A head torch with red light is great when you want to read a map in the dark. It means your eyes don't have to get used to the dark once you look up from your map. In addition, it enables you to quickly focus your eyes if you use red light.
Head torch for outdoor use
Going out at night with a group? Opt for a head torch with red light. A red beam is namely more pleasant for your eyes and those of others. As such you don't have to worry about blinding someone if you accidentally shine the light in their eyes.
Head torch for hunting purposes
Did you know that most mammals cannot see red light? That is why a head torch with red light is great when hunting or observing different species without disrupting their sleep.
