I didnât mean, âoption to select while buying things on the internetâ, I meant, âoption to choose from when turning the light off and onâ. The headlight I use for camping has a steady red light piggybacked on all the other white light choices, I think every camping light should have it. Most campers out there donât seem to know that red light has any advantage, never mind going out of their way to spend a few buck more on a light with that option. If they all came with that feature, it would be much easier to raise awareness.

I probably should have added something like âwhen the small laser pointers astronomers are using should be enough to oust everyoneâ - I thought Keckâs sodium beacon was enough : )
Nice Shot!
I keep flashlights (and a supply of the batteries) that use 18650 battery rather than AAA. For one thing, theyâre rechargeable. The flashlights themselves are cheap. (I like the Ultrafire-style Chinese knockoffs that use the Cree LED sets.) And since I switched, I donât have to worry about the kids swiping the batteries for their toys.

unfortunately not mine. Laser guide star images are great, this one with added lightning is a beauty

I just ordered two, based on looks alone. But Iâll bet itâs no Galvanick LucipherâŚ
Dude, I didnât say I was Kohei Yoshiyuki.
I end up using them for camping and other various locations where recharging is less practical but every tiny bodega in the middle of nowhere has AAA batteries. I already have to carry a passel of CR123s, Iâm not stocking more batteries in the house than I currently have to.
The kids donât get toys with batteries. Those make noise. They get to play with a stick or some chalk.

Most reliable LED flashlight, which I have had going on 10 years now, was a 3W LED upgrade for my large and serious Magliteâ˘.

Just FYI, the first video on the Amazon page is NOT the product being sold.
Available via Amazon Canada as a âEtekcityâ lantern. Price is about the same, after the conversion.
/Also, âseparatelyâ, not âseperatelyâ.
First off, I love your naive optimism on low beams! But more importantly, this thread has made me miss my girl scout flashlight, which had the red option â of course â and was truly indestructible.

That quote reminds me of two books:
The hitchhikerâs guide to the galaxyâ
Space is big. Really big. You just wonât believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think itâs a long way down the road to the chemist, but thatâs just peanuts to space.
