As long the head has the same diameter, you can switch.
typical LEDs don't do RED well, and most of the lumens are blocked by the filter. You may do as well getting a LOW lumen light.

Yup, filters are bad; allowing only one frequency of photons through means you're wasting all the battery power going to generating the other frequencies. The best do-not-disturb light is one with a moonlight mode, meaning less than one lumen - this allows you to see everything in full color and use only the tiny amount of power needed to emit the tiny amount of light.

I keep a FourSevens Atom A0 with a red LED on my keychain partially for this reason. The low mode is ideal for checking on sleeping children without waking them up.
