Hammock LED omnidirectional glow light red

[Rumpole_Stiltskin]

Hi

I'm sure someone with a hammock must have had a similar search before. I'm looking for a small glow light that I can hang for when I'm in my hammock.

I don't want nothing too powerful or with a beam just an omnidirectional glow (red) to save my night vision and as to not attrack too much attention when stealth camping.

So far the best I've found is something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/6095-Nebo-K...8&qid=1453512927&sr=8-3&keywords=red+led+lumo

But obviously the light is not in red.


I an find loads of things like this, but they don't seem as though they are going to last very long packed in my Bergan:

Any suggestions?

Buy any decent quality glow light you want, then pay 99p for an A4 sheet of transparent red glass vinyl. Job jobbed. Works well with turning cheap LED torches into ones that produce red light.

Good suggestion, would you go for the Light Red or Red Tony.

I have an inova micro light I use for just that purpose.

My Nitecore HC90 has a red LED, which is ideal for night-vision saving.

Not a cheap option, I know, but I'm not inclined to skimp on a headlight, as it might save me from breaking my fool neck one night, or disappearing into a bog. As it's infinitely variable in white light mode, it also makes a good camp lantern.

Tritium Vial may not be enough light ?

They look really good for the price. How's the battery life Mesquite?

The red, it'll look like a lighter shade when the lights turned on anway.

I use a AAA Glo toob or one of the Chinese copies, it works well and has variable brightness.

I'm not sure how much light you need, but If you don't need light to read by, Id recommend this light:

The semitransparent light diffuser thingy is made from a soft plastic, in differerent shapes.
They come in different colour LEDs, and the plastic housing can be different colours too.
I've got several different ones, clipped to my jackets so I don't get run over when walking on dark roads. They actually give off enough light to walk by in total darkness, at least in snow.
Couldn't tell you how to change batteries, as they haven't run out yet, but otherwise, buy two lights instead!

Thanks

All great suggestions.

I dunno... I've not changed one yet

Having said that I've used one probably about 10 hours or so in total mainly in flash mode when I walk my dogs in the woods at night

What? You didn't save any of those handy filters they give away in a box of Quality Street!

Think in the short term I'm going to go with the dog glow globe as we need a thing for the dog anyway.

Once I've been to some meetups I'm sure I'm going to bump into most of the other options listed above and can see what I like best.

Thanks again all.

Cheers I'll order one to have a play with. Want something to go on my pack for road walking at night.
