Orion® RedBeam II LED™
#5755 Adjustable Brightness Astro Flashlight
The RedBeam II LED is a handy tool for the amateur astronomer. It has two LEDs (light emitting diodes) for maximum light emission and a thumbwheel to adjust brightness. Turn the brightness up to walk around your observing site in the dark, or dim it down to read a star chart under the darkest of skies; you’ll be able to see in all situations without fear of losing precious night vision.
Operation
Rotate the thumbwheel forward until you hear a click and the LEDs turn on.
Further rotating the thumbwheel forward will cause the LEDs to brighten. Find
the position of the thumbwheel that provides adequate brightness for your
observing situation. To turn the RedBeam II off, rotate the thumbwheel
backwards until you hear a click.
Place the nylon cord around your neck for a convenient way to carry the
flashlight. The cord will also prevent the flashlight from dropping to the
ground in the dark.
Batteries
The RedBeam II uses a single 9-volt battery. Lithium batteries typically last longer than alkaline batteries, but any battery you choose will give relatively long life due to the small current draw of the LEDs.
Changing the batteries
When the LEDs refuse to emit at the desired brightness, it is time to change
the battery. To replace the battery, first remove the front cap from the
flashlight. Do this by depressing the tab located just in front of the
thumbwheel while pulling the front cap off. Now, rotate the thumbwheel as far
forward as it will go (the LEDs will be at maximum brightness). Continue
pushing the thumbwheel forward until the circuit board begins to slide out of
the flashlight. Grasp the front of the exposed circuit board and carefully
pull it from the unit. Remove the battery from the battery terminals and
replace it with a fresh one. Seat the circuit board back into the flashlight
and replace the front cap. You will not need to change the battery again for
quite some time.
