An other old old trick when the bulb is small is to cover it with
your finger. The light filters thru your finger and is tinted red from
your blood! You finger has an 'x-ray' look but the light is red and
sfot to read by.

F You can mute it with fingers over the front.
F That's exactly what i did the night i had to use the headlamp to read charts. I
F gripped my hand over the front and let just a bit of light escape from
F between two fingers. Worked pretty good actually and when i wanted more light i
F just had to open my fist. ;-)
