I have an old Solarforce P60 lamp with a red emitter. I bought it a long while back just out of curiosity. I recently dug it up again and was wondering what I might use it for. For now I put it into a SureFire 6P with two 123a cells and it's just sitting on the dresser on standby.
It's pretty dang bright; I think it's an R2 bin if I remember right. So, probably won't preserve night vision! And I measured about 0.75 amps with the two 123a, so it won't really be a long-runner either.
So I got to thinking, what do other people do with a red flashlight? (other than low-light vision stuff)
So far the only things I can think of are:
1. Emergency roadside lighting (& signaling?), like a road flare. Not sure if this would be any better than just plain white light though.
2. Light-painting photography; I thought it might look neat to try some light-painted photos with just monochromatic red light.
Any other thoughts?
