From the manufacturer

Celestron 93588 Astro Night Vision Flashlight

A red flashlight is one of the most beneficial accessories you can own as an amateur astronomer, no matter how occasional your night sky observations may be. Also, if you plan to observe with other people, whether at a star party or in your own neighborhood, a red flashlight is an important part of good star party etiquette.

When you are outside doing astronomy, or any night-time activity that requires you to see as well as possible, any white light is a detriment. Every time you use white light, your eyes react. The pupils contract, making their aperture smaller, and a smaller aperture always means less light-gathering, whether we are talking about your eyes or your optical equipment.

A red flashlight allows you to see your star charts, find an eyepiece in your accessory case, or pick your way over telescope cables and other obstacles without affecting your night vision. The better your night vision, the more you can see in the eyepiece.

Product Description

A red flashlight is one of the most beneficial accessories you can own as an amateur astronomer, no matter how occasional your night sky observations may be. Also, if you plan to observe with other people, whether at a star party or in your own neighborhood, a red flashlight is an important part of good star party etiquette.

When you are outside doing astronomy, or any night-time activity that requires you to see as well as possible, any white light is a detriment. Every time you use white light, your eyes react. The pupils contract, making their aperture smaller, and a smaller aperture always means less light-gathering, whether we are talking about your eyes or your optical equipment.

A red flashlight allows you to see your star charts, find an eyepiece in your accessory case, or pick your way over telescope cables and other obstacles without affecting your night vision. The better your night vision, the more you can see in the eyepiece.

The Celestron Night Vision Flashlight uses two LED’s to provide variable red illumination. Use the thumb wheel to adjust the light as you need it. The square shape of the flashlight keeps it from rolling off of your observing table to the ground. A lanyard is attached so you can wear it around your neck. The Night Vision Flashlight is powered by a 9V battery (included).

    Customers are mixed about the weight of the flashlight. Some mention they love the light weight ablity to loop around the neck, it's not heavy or too large. However, others say that it'd break if dropped due to its small size.

    "This is a lightweight red light than hangs by a lanyard from your neck or other place. Being so, it is a very handy light to have...." Read more

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the flashlight. Some mention it's a good light for keeping your night vision, and very useful for night time activities. However, others say the input and output ports are poorly made, weak, and made of flimsy plastic.

    "...The design is odd, and a couple of quirks arise from that, but reading the instructions and handling it correctly will prevent most issues with the..." Read more

    158 customers mention98 positive60 negative

    Customers are mixed about the brightness of the flashlight. Some mention that the brightness range is great, giving them the option of keeping it very dim. The multiple brightness levels are a nice touch, and the lowest light setting is great for not bothering others while also using the wheel. However, others say that the beam is not evenly bright, making chart reading harder. The lowest setting is still quite bright, and there is no way to just turn it on and off.

    "...The on/off switch (a dial) is also a dimmer, easy to brightness control." Read more

    "Decent and not too bright red light for astronomy work. The variable brightness is nice and on full power it's not so bright as to annoy other..." Read more

    "...complained that the switch could only turn the unit on/off and would not dim...." Read more

    "...micro USB are nowhere near as reliable as type-C. Otherwise, the light is excellent." Read more

    32 customers mention17 positive15 negative

    Customers are mixed about the battery life of the flashlight. Some mention that it has fantastic battery life, runs on a 9V battery, and has a dimmer knob. However, others say that it works perfect and comes with a battery installed. Some say that the battery is easy to replace, while others say it's difficult and tricky to replace the battery.

    "...Nothing more. (literally) Nothing less.The battery is EASY to replace if you have a modicum of patience!..." Read more

    "...is fine as long as it continues to work but even then, replacing the battery is unintuitive...." Read more

    "...It recharges quickly and every charge lasts a long time (note that I almost always use the lowest light setting).Cons:-..." Read more

    "...That works perfect. Also an issue is replacing the battery...." Read more

    21 customers mention10 positive11 negative

    Customers are mixed about the size of the flashlight. Some mention it's good size and very nice for not disturbing night viewing, while others say that it'll fit the bill perfectly. The circuit board has an un-nessessary interference fit with the housing, and the USB covers do not fit properly. The shape is awkward to hold and the battery is held tight.

    "...cable (doesn't include a charger) and the cable was very gritty and poor-fitting to both the light and my phone charger block." Read more

    "...on, then is continuously variable to full brightness, and its size makes it very handy...." Read more

    "...Further the fit is very tight dure ti the tight margins for the battery, See photos...." Read more

    "...and helps you stay asleep. This small, lightweight device uses two LED's and hence thebattery life is fantastic...." Read more

    20 customers mention4 positive16 negative

    Customers dislike the ease of holding the flashlight. They mention that the lens cover falls off easily, the cap falls off easy, and the front cover does not hold on really well. The bracket that holds the lens falls out, and one of the snap-in plastic arms falls off.

    "...Both of them just fell off pretty much on their own. I would expect better especially from Celestron and for the money, it's just no worth it...." Read more

    "...I removed the cover to replace the battery and now the cover won't stay in place causing the light to flicker. It is no longer useful to me...." Read more

    "...My main concern was that several reviewers complained of the lens cover falling off...." Read more

    "It's square so it doesn't roll off tables at night, it's got adjustable red power...." Read more

    Battery replacement process and limited selection of replacement battery
    I purchased this because it was a Celstron Brand. They usually have decent quality and actually test their products. However, as mentioned by another reviewer the battery replacement requires that the entire internal light assembly to be pulled out. The printed circuit board the battery is attached to id very flimsy and will break eventually. Further the fit is very tight dure ti the tight margins for the battery, See photos.Additionally, the battery provided is a heavy duty battery type, I tried to replace it with a Duracell Alkaline battery, but it is several milimeters wider and does not fit.I'm very disapointed with the poor quality of of the design of this product and would not buy another, Celestron should do better, considering the price for this product. I will not trust celestron brand again.
