It has 3 little LED lamps and seems pretty handy

Until that bloody great wave comes along at dark thirty when you are way out on the rocks and sweeps your baseball cap off.........there goes your light.......

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.
