The Explore Scientific Astro R-Lite is a new product from Explore Scientific which will be especially useful to astronomers who need to read information or see equipment controls in the dark while their eyes are dark-adapted. The Explore Scientific Astro R-Lite has been custom designed by ES engineers with a special and proprietary filter inserted to allow this compact flashlight to perform at the optimum brightness and intensity for dark-adapted astronomers. Once you get in a dark location and turn it on, you will see exactly what we are talking about.

The Astro R-Lite produces the ideal brightness to protect the user’s night vision during viewing sessions, while imaging or walking around on the field. It won't blind your neighbor or visitors either. The high-performance LED will operate and last up to 3 non-stop hours of non-diminishing brightness, on a single new AA battery.
Clicking the bright orange button of the Astro R-Lite controls the light beam.
