Im looking for a red/white headlamp, im open to all suggestions, I used a petzle in the past, it was only white light, again IM open to all recommendations. Thanks
In case you need it for military use have a careful look on the UI since in some lights you may turn on the white LED by mistake. We were only allowed to use lights with red filter that prevent any mistake
I used to run the Princeton Tec EOS-tactical. Was a good lamp in its time with a ssc p4 and flip up red filter. Quite dated now. Haven’t found something as simple and usable with red light so I just utilize quick access moon mode such as th20 or wizard pro and use a Stand alone red light.
I have the armytek WR and the HC65 and a zebra 502 red. Army trek will come on in red if it’s turned off in red, if you turn it off in white the double click from off to transfer to red will flash white. Not ideal. Also the red output is wildly bright on med and high, way past any reasonable acceptable usage for red light in a .mil environment. The hc65 only has two red output settings, one to bright for sneaky usage and a blinking setting both less then ideal, it is easy to access red once your used to UI.
Both lights are great with white light, red output and adjustment is superior on the armyTek but you would need to be 100% sure to turn off while on red output and not 2 click when turning it on. The best best would be getting a red only headlamp like the 502r, no concern in going white and easy lumen adjustment for needed tasking at turn on.
My 2 cents.
It doesn’t seem to be a good solution, on any of them I guess ill get the armytek, thanks again fellows, these lights were just not made for military use.
I bought this headlamp for saving the budget at amazon from this shop: https://amzn.to/3b8MLYd
