Thanks - I have searched on the internet and have not found anything.
Apparently the red light does not affect melatonin levels.

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.
Also, Walgreen's and some Targets sell LED nightlights with more than one setting (including cycling rainbow mood-changing setting - ooh aah!) but you can leave it on the solid red one, too.

tick battler,
By the way, my understanding of the research on using red lights at night and programs like Flux for your computer is that it decreases your retinal exposure to blue spectra light. The importance is to not stimulate your brain late at night and help you relax before sleeping.
This is still something that is under investigation, and I am experimenting with it myself. Some of the research done may be found here:

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.
