One of my favorite mods - a blue FW3A that I swapped SST-20 Deep Red into.
This is with a fresh Molicel P26A 18650.
Thing rips.
But I mostly use it at low levels where it’s very efficient.
I love deep red because it does not attract insects and it’s gentle on your eyes at night.
Not attracting insects is the best part about having deep red in a headlamp. It sucks having your face attacked by 1000 june bugs

That’s interesting, I wonder if green lights attract less bugs too? There have been debates on if red or green is the best for natural night visionI wonder if green lights attract less bugs too?
google says: “The study showed that 22% of bugs were attracted to the blue spectrum, while 18% were attracted to white, 10% to yellow, 2% to red and 4.7% to green.”
“green light attracts the most fish”
“results found that the green light was the most attractive to mosquitoes. There was 43.3% of all the insects collected in the green light trap. The blue light attracted 31.8%, and only 24.9% went for the incandescent traps.”
Which firmware did you use?
Standard - 100% FET
Or
219 - 50% FET
Standard
Sweet! I didn’t think DR would be able to handle 100% FET. I might need to build one of these!
So far, I’ve never had a problem pushing the SST-20 Deep Reds. Same with the white ones too. They hold up quite well!
Very nice pic. It had never occurred to me before that a powerful DR light was useful. I always had thought of DR as being for when you want minimal light. But now you’ve got me interested.
