I'm looking for a reasonably powerful red LED (not red filter) torch that can be purchased in NZ. Any suggestions?
Cheers

Isn’t there a four colour LED-Lenser model?
If you’re not in a rush look on AliExpress. There’s bound to be a Chinese cheapo version out.
Max torch has a red led now don't they @burtonator
There's a few red LED torches on the market (I know, just spent most of my day at work looking at them!), but when it comes down to specifications, they are piss weak.
Well, thanks to 223nut, I am $122 poorer and have a red LED Maxtoch on it's way :D
That was quick work, this is a bloody good forum.
Let us know how it performs
Will do.
no need for a double order, free postage :thumbsup:

It arrived. Looks bloody good! I'll report back after I've actually used it rather than trying to get the cat to pretend to be a rabbit in the garden :D
What's the point in a red light?
Use of red light at night helps keep your night vision intact. Eyes have rods and cones, and their ratio varies from species to species. Rods work in low light, but cannot distinguish colour. Cones distinguish colour, but need decent light levels.
If someone shines a white light in your face at night, then turns it off, you are temporarily “blinded” until your eyes adjust to the darkness again. Using a red light uses the colour- detecting cones and protects your rods. Turn the red light off and the blindness effect is less.
Red light won’t spook animals either, including light shy deer
