Why Red-light:
It takes about 20-30 minutes for your eyes to fully dark adapt when doing photography at night. Red light does not mess with that process. Turn on the white light and you have to start dark adapting all over again.
Why Separated button is key?
Below is what Mr.JimDoty says: After leading dozens of night photography field trips, I have decided one of the most frustrating things to have happened is for someone to accidentally turn on white light and ruin the dark adaptation of the whole group. The problem is some headlamps make you cycle through all the white light settings to get to the red LED. That is a terrible design for night photography. So the most essential feature for a night photography headlamp is a separate button to turn the red LED on and off. It is even better if the red LED button is separated from the white LED button.
It's great to have a headlamp with separate button for the red light. I rated 4 because ideally you don't want to cycle through the flashing red to turn off. A simple on off operation would be great.
Nice addition to my night gear. A separate switch for the red and white led lights prevents cycling through the white light to illuminate the red light.
Works perfectly. Separate switch for red and white is great!
After using head torches from two other companies I ordered a pair of MSM head torches. The features I found to be superior are:
1) Separate switches for red and white light.
2) Long rechargeable battery life.
3) Comfort and fit.
Thank-you, for distributing this product.
I received the lamp in time and really was surprided his good it is ! The best Thing is that you can switch Red and White Light separatly
This headlamp works as it should. Never need to use the white light. MSM responded well to my requests and shipped it quickly. No complaints, Strongly recommende
The headlamp allows a choice of either white light or red light. I’ve been using only the red light function for astrophotography and it works very well.
It is powered by a rechargeable battery that seems to last for several hours. The only little inconvenience is that the charging cable is different from that of the NOMAD and the laser pointer charger but that’s not really a big deal. It come with the proper cable.
All in all I’m very happy with this purchase.
I like the 2 separate buttons for the white and red lights. The white light is angled lower than the red light. It should be the other way around. The white light used for walking, hiking etc and the red light used more for looking down at the camera to adjust settings etc.
Arrived in a timely manor , the lights themselves seem to work as advertised but the rubber covering the button is hard to press in the cold.
For the price I think they are a worthwhile item.

Very nice headlight! Great to have the red light available on its own!
