Who has the Red LED Headlamp?

[DaktariEd]

OK...someone at the Expedition Trophy event had a red LED headlamp...
Who is it? :confused:
Or, more importantly...where did you get it?
I'm looking for one for better "night vision."

IIRC Mark F'n Stephens has one

desertgirl is also thinking about getting one :box:

I think I found one online. :D
Petzl Headlamp (http://www.amazon.com/Petzl-E49P-TacTikka-Plus-Headlamp/dp/B0007Q3R3E/sr=1-4/qid=1165156547/ref=sr_1_4/102-8484658-6224157?ie=UTF8&s=hi)
Nothing here locally.
Faster to go online than to keep looking around.
And who wants to go shopping with all the crowds and mania? :yikes:

Ed,
Amy and I both have LED headlamps with Red LED functions.
Funny enough they are sort of el-cheepos but they have worked flawlessly for over a year now and get great battery life from 3 AAA.

We got them at Wal-Mart for $12, Rayovac brand! http://www.rayovac.com/flashlight/outdoor/sp_SPHTLED.htm

The same store also sells one branded by Energiser that also has Red LED, it is $15 and I just bought one form my broinlaw for his bday. Seems to be pretty nice but I have not field tested.

Other than that I just saw one made by Gerber, yes the knife company doing headlamps! -- Well the Gerber has a white, red, blue or green LED selection so you can preserve your night vision no matter how sensitive your eyes are - or you can just walk around like a Christmas Tree!! :wavey:

My family has been using the Energizer headlamps (http://www.energizer.com/products/flashlights/flashlight.asp?cat=4&id=3). They are a three LED lamp. Two white , or one red.
They were purchased at our local "Wallyworld" for around $10 each.

I would recommend them. Compact, adjustable, good light, low cost.
I keep three in the truck all the time.

I've got a couple of the Energizer headlamps too. I like 'em just fine.

Think I scored them at WallyWorld too -

I have a Petzl Tikka Plus (http://en.petzl.com/petzl/LampesProduits?Produit=463&Critere=0) that has an available lens kit (http://froogle.google.com/froogle?q=tikka+lens+red&hl=en&lr=&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-43,GGLG:en&sa=X&oi=froogle&ct=title): red, green, and a spare clear lens. Worked really well for night time navigation while driving and beats having multiple head lamps.

Good bit of kit, in use with our Recon "snake-eaters" and others... Petzl is good to go IMO.

OK wait a minute...the one I got was the TakTikka Plus...about the same I think. Very cool night seeing with the red lens...

Me too. might have been me.

Awwww man! Yeah, DesertDude is right I have a headlamp that has a red LED. It's a three-way jobby with the red LED, a regular LED, and a broad beam.

Guess what? $9.99 at our favorite corporate, facist, crap-selling mega-store: WallyWorld. Takes 3 AAA batteries. We have 4 or 5 of 'em and they keep on ticking.

Sorry I missed this until now. We've got to sell alot of "pinstripe removers" and lumber before the year's end.
