Re: (meteorobs) RED LIGHT



Mike at sporting good stores, there is usually a kit with at least three
colored filters that will fit the mag lites and mini-maglites and it even
has a rubber gromet to hold the filetr on. Some Wal-mart and K-mart stores
have these also. I have also used red celophane(sp) that you can get from
almost any craft supply store.
Now can you help me. My DRL lights will NOT shut off no matter what you do
to them, and astronomers get really testy when you drive into the star
party with the lights on. What can I do?
