Hello everyone. I have been doing some searches and alot of reading on your forums here. Great information. Ill try to keep this post short but I want to give some info on what brought me to your board.
I am an a hunting and outdoor junky. I love to both bow hunt and backpack and on a recent backpacking trip got to use a fellow hikers LED headlamp. I loved it and picked one out that I wanted for Christmas. My wife did her own research and bought me a Streamlight Trident with the green LED ( for night vision and to not spook game) and the xenon bulb ( very cool ). Anyway I took it out duck hunting over the weekend and it seemed to spook the geese off the water in the dark and it also seemed to blind my hunting budy. This was all with the green LED on. I really like this headlamp and it would break my wifes heart if I ask her to return it. However, it apears from alot of reading ( mostly on this sight ) that the green LED does not preserve night vision and will spook game. Im not sure how the company can say things on there packaging that is untrue but aparently they are.
So here is my Question: Is it possible for me to change the Green LED to a Red LED? I would also need to keep the unit as water tight as possible.
Thanks for any information you can give.
