incase some of you didn't know: The red light is desirable over any other color for stargazing.
The red doesn't ruin our night vision; A regular flashlight would cause our eyes to need time to adapt back to the dark environment while the red light doesn't cause that problem.
It's like walking into a dark room from a bright room, everything will look dark for a bit while your eyes adjust. If your "bright" room only had a red light and you walked into a dark room, your eyes would adapt much more quickly.
You should not compare these to regular flashlights like that you tube video did.
