red light doesnt mess up your night vision. So If I have to flash somethin quick I dont blind myself momentarily. I also dont have to cup my light to make it dimmer, being red its not really disturbing to others. Ive also got a standard yellow bulb, and a bright blue led I can use as well. I use them as appropriate. ..
Also red light if nesc, does not distrub others fishing around you, as you may inadvertantly swing the beam directly in their face if fish a breachway or soemthing where company is tight etc.
Welcome aboard Steve lots of good folks here.
