This review is from: Carson Optical LED Flashlight (Red) (Sports)
For use in astronomy, this light is sufficiently bright without being excessively bright. The color is a true red (a plus), not orange like some lights. And the light is diffuse, which is also a big plus. It does a good job of saving your night vision, and it’s one of the least expensive astronomer’s lights out there.
So what’s not to like? As mentioned in another review, one must twist the top of the light to turn it on and off. The problem is that if you accidentally turn it the wrong way, the top pops off, and you are then looking for the top and the two small button batteries on the ground in the dark. Making matters worse, you must have the top in exactly the right position to put it back on (no small feat), and the batteries tend to flip around into the light the wrong way. We tried 80 of these lights for a college astronomy class, and before the semester was over, half were no longer functional.

My Brother and I have started star gazing. the red ballon over a white flashlight was not cutting it.. Product was shipped fast.. Works great can read a star chart and than look up and be able to see stars since your pupils do not dialate…
Only con is the wierd way it turns on.. you have to rotate the cap…
Can’t beat this product.

I would recommend this product to anyone who is into astronomy and star watching. This true red LED light is very easy on the eyes and for the extremely fair price, you can’t beat it!
Being in my later years in life, both my husband and I have vision that is slowly beginning to deteriorate. We have even found a second use for this light for when we take our late night trips to the bathroom. As silly as this may seem, the red light really helps your eyes adjust much better in the dark as your eyes do not dilate as much as they would with a typical white LED light.
Over all on a scale from 1-10, I would give the StarMap Light an 11!
