Product description

This energy-efficient DualBeam astronomy red light torch is indispensible when working in the dark.

The red light has no effect on the dark adaptation of your eyes and is therefore particularly suitable for the map reading and controlling the telescope at night.

The white light provided is universally suitable for a wide range of purposes and facilitates packing up equipment after a night's observing for example.

The brightness is adjustable, and the torch includes a 9 volt battery good for between 25 and 625 hours.

Our expert comment:

Next to a star chart, a red light source is one of the most important items of equipment for many amateur astronomers.

Doesn´t do what its supposed to do

Review by Jaime_sev on 05.12.2013 19:02:33

( 1 / 5 )

First, I must say is the second lamp I check, as the first one had the same problem and I returned it.

Both had the same problem: when you turns it on, weak light (red or white, is the same) brights. You continue turning the thumbwheel supposing that it will gradually increase brightness but that doesn´t happen. Only at the end of the wheel the light suddenly increases its brightness making it almost impossible to control (you have 10º or less of wheel turn to do that).

As the web announce it as "adjustable lamp" I think it must work like this: you turn the thumbwheel and the light smoothly increases from weak to full brightness as you turn the 300º of the wheel; only in this way you can get control and preserve your dark adaptation.

The construction is all plastic made, looks fragile and a small. To change the battery you must open the whole lamp, get the circuit (and its hard to extract) out and replace the battery. I think its bad designed as you expose the internal circuit every time you have to do that.

In my opinion this lamp is expensive and useless.
