The Explore Scientific Astro R-Lite Red Flashlight (ES-FL1001) is a red LED astronomy flashlight that protects your night vision at the telescope. Here's why that matters: white light instantly wipes out your dark adaptation, and it takes 20–30 minutes in the dark for your eyes to recover. Red light lets you read star charts, find eyepieces, and move around your observing site without resetting your eyes.

Simple one-button operation means you can work it by feel in total darkness, and it's compact enough to live in any stargazing kit or jacket pocket.

Who it's for

An essential accessory for any stargazer, from first-timers to seasoned observers, and a must-have at star parties where white light isn't welcome. New to observing? Start with our stargazing basics guide.
