I need a good red light for my observing table. Before I resort to building one, can anyone recommend a currently available product? Requirements: 1. Weighted or attached to a clamp for hands-free use, with a long gooseneck or adjustable arm at least 1' long, for use with large atlas pages 2. Brightness control--for matching to ambient light conditions and conserving batteries Would be nice: 3. Uses standard batteries, preferably D or lantern 4. Removable red filter--can be used as a trouble light 5. Spot/flood adjustment: wide area for locating stars, narrow beam for destroying less dark adaptation Here's an opening for you astro-entrepeneurs! If I get any response at all, (a) I'll post a summary to the net, and (b) I'll be surprised. -- John Shipman/Zoological Data Processing/ucbvax!unmvax!nmtvax!shipman
