Daylight and Red Auxiliary LEDS

When working in lowlight, the headlamp’s daylight balanced auxiliary LED provides great colour reproduction, great for reading or checking colour critical details. A secondary red LED preserves your night adjusted vision, ideal for checking camera settings in the dark. This is a must-have feature for astrophotographers or telescope users.
