The only use for a red light I have is for close illumination and for escape and evasion. For that reason I keep a red Photon I Covert on my key-chain. I also have a UV Photon I Covert on my key-chain for scorpion hunting. If you are in an escape and evasion situation you want the light to go off if you drop it. You also do not want it on all the time. For most situations white light is the best! LED for short range and SureFire for long range!

If you are going to use a red light to get to the deer stand before the sun comes up then a red filter on a Petzl headlamp would be ideal. Forget the cellophane!
