I just got back from my future brother in-law's house. He bought a headlamp to go night fishing with. I believe it was PT Scout. While he likes it, he prefers something with a red led so the bugs are not attracted to the light. Any recommendations for a red LED headlamp? Thanks.

For night fishing I picked up an Energizer 6 led headlamp at Wall Mart for about 12 bucks. Works great with two red led's and four others for spot or flood. It runs on 3aaa's and for the money you can't beat it. Only drawback I see is that it is not waterproof.

Petzl makes an entire line of headlamps for tactical (military, police, etc.) use. They are all black with a red filter over the lamps and are water resistant.

I recommend the Tactikka Plus.

The photon fusion has two red leds in addition to the 6 white leds. Brightness is adjustable with both sets.

Thanks guys, I have the energizer headlamp which I already recommend to him. However I think he is better off with something waterproof since he surf fishing. I will recommend the Petzl model.
