Tactical Red?

Red flashlight serves several purposes on the battlefield: 1) it reduces the light intensity for more discreet situations, such as map reading; 2) it does not deteriorate the night vision your naked eyes are accustomed to as great as white light; 3) deers do not see red light as well so it is useful for pre-dawn hunting.

But recently, I've heard some folks claim that red light helps you see the field clearly while keeping your enemies from knowing where you are at. Perhaps, if your enemies are deers. Let say your enemy is lighting up the scene with red light. If you see the red light shine on an object, wouldn't you figure out that the red light is coming from the opposite direction?

Let's take a close-quarter field for example. You see red light shining on a wall. You must figure the hallway opposite the wall is where the red light comes from, right?

But what about outdoor field? Is it possible to use red light to light the scene without being identified?

If you don't have a red filter for your flash light, it's pretty easy to make one. Just go to the local craft store and buy some transparent red wrapping paper (cellophane). Then cut it down to size and tape it over your flashlight. Now you have a red flashlight.
