Camping supply stores sell headlamps w both red and white lights.
Using the red light in the woods preserves peripheral vision, allows you to adjust ur eyes quicker when light is shut off than after using white light.
Could be fun for ur children to use in bedroom.

Try astronomy store catalogs and online sights. Astronomers and astronomy students often have to use red flashlights and LEDs for star maps and such so they don't have to lose dark adaption and not be able to clearly see night skies.

Thanks all for your posts...very helpful. I think I can get some red tail light tape from an auto supply shop and put it on a regular nightlight. Still looking into this though.
