This headlamp is specially designed for night photography and astrophotography. It features two completely separate buttons, One for each color of light, to avoid handling errors in the dark. Its sturdy design means you can use it with complete peace of mind, without worrying about dazzling other photographers.
Each light color has its own dedicated button, making operation intuitive and perfectly suited to night-time shooting conditions.
When photographing at night, it is generally necessary to 20 to 30 minutes for the eyes to fully adapt to the dark. Red light has the advantage of not to disrupt this adaptation. Conversely, white light forces the eyes to get used to the dark again, which can seriously hamper the photographer's work.
As the Jim Doty :
«After supervising dozens of night photography outings, I've found that one of the most frustrating situations is when one person accidentally turns on the white light, disrupting the whole group's dark adaptation. The problem with some headlamps is that you have to go through all the white light settings before accessing the red light. It's an impractical design for night photography.»
For this reason, the most important feature of a headlamp dedicated to astrophotography is the presence of a button entirely dedicated to the red LED, It can be switched on and off instantly, with no risk of error.
