Are there any red light mobile phones out there - wouldn't it be nice to power up, check for messages, power down and still retain night vision.

Google searches for 'red light' anything is thwart with danger :)

Sounds quite specialist to me, which in English means 'expensive'.

How about taking an old phone with a monochrome LCD screen and swapping out the backlight LEDs for red ones? (Assuming you know someone who can solder SMD :D )

No, don't worry me, I use Special Forces/SAS/SBS/SEAL/Tactical/Ninja/Bushcraft night vision goggles. Got them off eBay £3.99.

Can you not just get a piece of red polycarbonate cut to size and strapped on the screen with a laccy band?

Maybe "Quality street" will have a few red wrappers you could use.

unfortunalty putting a filter on it will remove anything in that colour from vision and the reason red light for night map reading is a bad idea ;) (well any colour light really )

what you need is an app for that to custom the colours ;) no idea how to write one or if your phone can use one

or to try it how about red tint glasses ;)
