What it is

A bedside lamp. Dimmable, red, compact, sold for sleep and night feeding. It is on this shelf because it is a red light and because it publishes a wavelength — not because it is a piece of field equipment.

The published figure

Six hundred and thirty nanometres. That is the deep red end, where dark adaptation suffers least, and it is more than either astronomy torch on this shelf tells you about its own LED.

Where it genuinely earns a place

On a table at a garden observing site, turned down low, beside a chart and an eyepiece case. In that role a soft diffuse red light is better than a beam, because there is nothing to point and nothing to dazzle.

What it is not

Portable equipment. No clip, no strap, no sealing, no beam. A torch and a lamp do different jobs, and this is the second.

Availability

German, French, Italian and Spanish Amazon stores ran from 24 € to 25 € on the day of the survey.

British Amazon store lists it in local currency, which the euro range above sets aside.

American Amazon store gave no result whatever, so the buy button there opens a search rather than an empty page.

    • Publishes both the wavelength band and the dimming range, which almost nothing here does
    • Five per cent as a stated minimum is a real figure rather than a vague “dimmable”
    • No absolute output figure, so 5 % cannot be converted to lumens

    • Four colours in one torch, which covers several uses in a bag
    • Zoom focus, so the beam spreads for a chart or narrows for a distance
    • No dimming is described, and a fixed red level is the wrong tool for a chart
