What's an easy way to turn a regular flashlight or handlamp into a red light? Are there red lenses available?
Thanks

Maglite makes red lenses for its C/D, and AA lights.
PT Yukon HL - not sure.
Pelican M6 - You can get a Maglite C/D lens and then have someone cut it down.

Are the Lenses Plastic or Glass?

Some types of flashlights have red lenses available, most right-angle military-style lights come with red lenses. There is a 2AA Brinkman Rebel flashlight that comes with a red lens adaptor, and a Rayovac 2AA adjustable-angle head light that has a red lens included. PR-bulb flashlights also can be retrofitted with a red LED PR base bulb. There also some red LED adaptors for 2AA minimags. It all depends on if you want to just buy a new light or convert an existing light.

i tried making the bulb red with one of those overhead markers (the kind of pens that write on all surfaces) but the red had some cracks of white light between.
You could use a red EverLED in your MagLite

The red Everled is the way to go for the Mag.

You can get get colored filters in sheets from lighting supply stores. They are made for theatric and concert lighting. The filters can be cut down to any size.

If you're using a mini-mag, you can replace the bulb with a 3mm red LED (or any other color for that matter). If you continue to use the 2AA, no resistor is needed (light's dimmer, though). If you go with 3 N cells, you'll have to use a spacer with a resistor. I've also seen replacement lenses of different colors for the minimags. G'luck!
