It has two settings: a three white LEDs, and a one Red LED.
[Use the RED during observing and the White after to pack up]
My wife got an identical one from Woolworths (supermarket) for $20.

Also a bit of refelctive tape (from Supercheap Autos) to stick on the chair, scope etc., also helps to see them in the dark with the Red light.


Additionally, to assist with comfort, warm clothing REALLY helps (as the clearest nights are often the coldest). Ice in Space Beanie; gloves (fingerless with covering mitten (Camping world); Freezer suit and boots (refer to IIS user GTB_an_Owl).

Enjoy..
