I have to say I use my light more now than every before. Once I hit 50 my night vision went. When younger I would go all night and never even turn it on most nights. However when you get older it is almost impossible. I do my best to keep any stray light out of the water and usually don't leave it on for very long when it is on, but I have to say I turn it on more than I like to. As far as red goes...I have trouble seeing in red light. I use it but when I really want to see something I have to go low power white led.

I have seen guys actually back pick-ups towards the ocean and turn on their rear mounted flood lights mounted on a crossbar and light up half the beach. After a half hour I walked out of the water and asked him to turn off his lights. He wasn't fishing just bs'in behind his truck. He obliged.
