More Info

This versatile red-light flashlight is just what the practical astronomer ordered. It features continuously adjustable brightness so you get just the right amount of red LED light for your needs. Keep it dim for reading star charts while in the field, or with a turn of the knurled finger wheel make it bright for walking around the campsite or packing up for the night while still retaining your dark adaptation.

The RedBeam II is ideal for providing helpful illumination of your astronomy equipment during a stargazing session, so you can clearly see your gear without disrupting your dark adapted vision. Use it to see your tripod leg locks, telescope focuser, and more without damaging your nighttime vision. It’s a great help when shuffling through your accessory case looking for that favorite telescope eyepiece to use! 

The Orion RedBeam II flashlight features twin red LEDs which are powered by one replaceable 9-volt alkaline battery (included) that provides up to 600 hours of use. The durable, 4-1/4" long plastic housing fits easily in a pocket, or you hang it around your neck with the attached 20" looped cord.

Let there be adjustable light! Get the RedBeam II today, at an unbeatable price and never be lost in the dark.

This flashlight is extremely helpful. When I go outside I always carry it. With it, I can look at my star maps with using the cellphone's light. Very portable, easy to use, long battery life.

I like that the light can be changed from red to blue, but I'm not fond of this device's tendency to come apart. Whenever I use this, I have to make sure the covering is on over the light bulb end, because it just comes off too easily. Since the interior parts can too easily fall out, I won't hang it around my neck anymore, but just stuff it in my pocket.
Favorite viewing location:??Backyard or driveway of home
Favorite object to observe:??Open Star Clusters
No, I do not recommend this product.

I purchased this light in hopes of keeping it in my astronomy toolbox. After the second outing, it broke. Yes, I had it in a case with other accessories and so it was probably banged around, but it should have been more durable than it was. I switched to a headlamp shortly thereafter.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Other reviews have touched on construction: this will fall apart if dropped, but mine has survived to be snapped baclk together 2 or 3 times and is still intact and working; and on brightness: this makes a great dim red light for protecting dark adpation, but doesn't get bright enough for a "walking around" red light. I have some brighter red LED headlamps for walking around that need care in use not to dazzle other observers, not a concern with the Redbeam II. In addition to providing low light level to read white paper charts and protect night vision, you can hang this from a tripod with the long lanyard, set at low intensity, for a discreet tripod warning light. This fills a niche at your scope, eyepiece case or chart; use another brighter light for cleanup or walking around. The basic design has been around 20 years or so for good reason.
Pros: low end of range protects night vision, handy tripod marker or chart light
Cons: not an area light at high end of range
Yes, I recommend this product!
