I need a headlamp with red LEDs and the red LEDs need to put out some lumens. On every headlamp I've tried so far the red LEDs aren't bright enough to do anything but maybe read a map that's a couple feet from your face. Also, it would be really nice if you could turn them on/off without cycling the white light on and ruining your night vision.
I ride horses in the dark hunting and white light ruins their night vision. Red light doesn't seem to bother them. Need enough light that I can see tree branches coming and forks in trails that aren't maintained.
I've looked at the specs on every major headlamp company I can find and either they aren't bright enough or they don't list how bright the red LEDs actually are. Someone on here must have a good quality headlamp that puts out enough red light to be useful. Thanks.
