Its square aluminum body prevents rolling, and it comes powered by an included 9V alkaline battery with a handy lanyard for easy carrying. Perfect for star parties and outdoor enthusiasts who demand clarity without compromise. ## Description A red flashlight is one of the most beneficial accessories you can own as an amateur astronomer, no matter how occasional your night sky observations may be. Also, if you plan to observe with other people, whether at a star party or in your own neighborhood, a red flashlight is an important part of good star party etiquette.When you are outside doing astronomy, or any night-time activity that requires you to see as well as possible, any white light is a detriment. Every time you use white light, your eyes react. The pupils contract, making their aperture smaller, and a smaller aperture always means less light-gathering, whether we are talking about your eyes or your optical equipment.A red flashlight allows you to see your star charts, find an eyepiece in your accessory case, or pick your way over telescope cables and other obstacles without affecting your night vision. The better your night vision, the more you can see in the eyepiece.The Celestron Night Vision Flashlight uses two LED’s to provide variable red illumination. Use the thumb wheel to adjust the light as you need it. The square shape of the flashlight keeps it from rolling off of your observing table to the ground. A lanyard is attached so you can wear it around your neck. The Night Vision Flashlight is powered by a 9V battery (included). Review: LOVE THIS FLASHLIGHT - This product has some pros can cons which I will list here but the pros far outshine the cons. Pros: - It shines a red light so your night vision doesn't get ruined and if, like me, you use it to read before bed, it makes for a very smooth transition to sleep. - The BATTERY IS AWESOME. I've used this every night for more than 2 years now and the battery is still great. It recharges quickly and every charge lasts a long time (note that I almost always use the lowest light setting). Cons: - The little plastic cover over the Input port broke off very soon after purchase. I mostly use this only indoors so I don't really have to worry about the uncovered port getting damaged. - It takes practice to figure out where the on/off switch is in the dark; would love to see this improved. - It is a pretty bright light even at the lowest setting. I put a lightweight sock over it to dim it a bit. Would love to see this improved. - At times when I've thrown it in a pack, I've found that it's turned itself on. Ironic: hard to find the switch when you want it, but when thrown in with other items, it's very easy for it to be triggered. - It would be nice to have the brightness setting and on/off switch separate - you have to cycle through all the settings each time you are turning the light on or off. Although my cons list is more numerous than the pros, the pros still outweigh the cons and I highly recommend this flashlight. Review: A great unit for a great price - I purchased this item despite the many negative reviews, and I don't regret the purchase at all. There are some facts you should be aware of when purchasing this light. 1) This is the most basic understanding anyone should have when purchasing any modern product. No process is perfect, and sometimes what you get is imperfect or DOA. It did not happen to me in this particular instance, but it may happen to you regardless of how much you have spent on a product, or its country of origin. 2) This is not a "cheaply made" product. The bulk of it is thick plastic, but some of the other mechanisms are thinner. Two plastic clips lock the front cap in place, and the lens is firmly adhered into the cap. It's unlikely that the lens would pop out unless the unit was mishandled in a rather extreme way. I don't see the lens popping out while the cap is fixed to the unit, simply because the portal at the front of the cap is much smaller than the lens. Outside of smashing the lens, that lens is not coming out of the front of the cap. It's equally unlikely that the lens popped out through the rear of the cap because of adhesives, and two pieces of plastic that bar its passage. Outside of errors during multiple stages of production, mishandling on the part of the courier, or mishandling on the part of the user, I don't see how the lens or front cap could be just falling off as others have claimed. 3) Another user complained that the switch could only turn the unit on/off and would not dim. I saw how this could occur, and it stems from the odd design of the unit. Inside the plastic shell is a circuit board, on top of which lay the two LEDs with a 9V battery at the very end like a caboose. It is simple to replicate the dimming issue if you do not replace the circuit board assembly as directed in the instructions(during, say, a battery change). The circuit board is meant to lay on a tiny spacer, and if it is slipped underneath the spacer, the dimming mechanism will not work properly. To prevent or fix this issue, simply follow the manufacturer provided directions to remove the interior assembly, and when you try to insert it back make sure to hold the assembly as close to the top of the unit as possible. You will know that you have the correct alignment by the function of the light switch, and the presence of a small space underneath the circuit board. My dimmer switch worked perfectly at the beginning, but I was able to replicate and fix this issue as previously described. It should be noted, that if you do not insert the interior assembly exactly as it extracts, it may fail to extract itself using the light switch in the future. Again, this stems from its odd design. To conclude, this is a well-functioning, and cost-effective unit. It performs exactly as described, is well manufactured, and its plastic shell is surprisingly rugged. The design is odd, and a couple of quirks arise from that, but reading the instructions and handling it correctly will prevent most issues with the unit. So, $12 altogether was a fair price. ## Features - Keep your night vision intact by using a red flashlight when observing! - The Night Vision Flashlight uses two red LED’s for even illumination - An easy-to-use thumbwheel adjusts the brightness - Square shape keeps the Night Vision Flashlight from rolling away - Powered by an included 9V battery - UNBEATABLE WARRANTY & SUPPORT: Buy with confidence from Celestron, a leading telescope brand in California since 1960. Your purchase includes a 2-Year US Warranty and unlimited support from our team of US-based experts. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0000665V5 | | Additional Features | Night Vision | | Batteries are Included | Yes | | Battery Description | Alkaline | | Battery Type | Alkaline | | Best Sellers Rank | #71,343 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #813 in Handheld Flashlights | | Brand Name | Celestron | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 out of 5 stars 1,103 Reviews | | Finish Types | Black | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00050234935883 | | Included Components | Battery | | Item Dimensions D x W x H | 5.7"D x 2.6"W x 2.4"H | | Light Source Special Features | Adjustable Brightness, Night Vision Friendly | | Light Source Type | LED | | Light Source Wattage | 0.25 Watts | | Manufacturer | Celestron | | Manufacturer Part Number | 93588 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year parts and labor. | | Material | Aluminum | | Material Type | Aluminum | | Model Number | 93588 | | Mounting Type | Neck Lanyard | | Number of Batteries | 1 9V batteries required.

Not sure where to open it. Thanks** A: On the top (where the light is) you'll see a thin piece of the frame that extends to the top on both sides.Push those in lightly and the top comes off. Now turn the open end toward your palm and shake lightly till battery comes out. It's a 9volt in the back. Do all this carefully not using much force. This should do it. **Q: Is the battery chargeable inside the flashlight? Is there a micro usb port?** A: Yes, the battery is rechargeable inside the case and does not to be removed. There is a usb port for charging devices and a micro usb port for recharging the battery. **Q: how many lumens does it put out at lowest setting?** A: It's pretty bright. I didn't want to put off others trying to keep their night vision intact. I wound up ordering the" Princeton Tec Byte Tactical Headlamp". It costs a little less and I found it to be just bright enough to see what you're doing. It uses AAA batteries and they last quite a long time. If you're worried about using disposable batteries, I ordered "Deleepow AAA Rechargeable Batteries,USB 1.5V Lithium Rechargeable Batteries, 1000mWh AAA Battery,1 H Quick Charge,1200 Cycle with 2 in 1 Micro USB Charging Cable". The combination is a little more expensive up front but I think the investment was worth it. I already own the Celestron light and it has it's uses. ( use mine to keep an extra set of the rechargeable AA batteries fresh. ) Over all I'm happy with the setup I have. I hope I've helped you is some small way. **Q: is it possible to remove red filter and use it as a regular flashlight?** A: There isn't a red filter. The PowerTank Glow 5000 is a red LED flashlight. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ LOVE THIS FLASHLIGHT *by S***A on July 4, 2023* This product has some pros can cons which I will list here but the pros far outshine the cons.

What I like: * You can adjust the brightness. The amount of light you need to get your bearings on a sketch/log or to look at a star map is very very low. You can turn it up to max when you are packing up and realize that you are missing that eyepiece endcap. * It is not head-mounted. - I have an irrational hatred for head mounted lamps that look dim in daylight when they are tested them but to dark adapted eyes are blindingly bright searchlights blasting around the observing area as their owners move their heads about. * If you hang it from your neck the light points down - less chance for you to be the person above. * There is no way to accidentally go in to white light mode. This helps prevent me from accidentally being "that person" on the field. I sometimes take one or 2 of my kids observing with me - they always get a light that can only do red. What I don't like, but there is a cheap solution for: * The light cast from this is not diffused at all. If you are trying to see something to draw this light will put 2 harsh crescents on your paper that will be very bright - while the area right next to the lights will be hard to see. The solution is to put a piece of Matte Finish Scotch Tape over the lens. This diffused the light enough to make this my goto light. What I worry about: * The little plastic loop that attaches the string to the light is just sitting there looking like it is going to break. I own 3 of these (so that I can find them and so that guests can have a light). I also own the little Orion key-chain light (to bright for me), the Rigel Systems Starlite Mini (remarkably similar to this light, cough) and an Energizer headlamp (If you decide to use a headlamp, go ahead and disable the white LEDs so that you don't accidentally turn them on and consider adding a higher powered resistor to dim the lamp. Also, please don't leave the thing on when you go talk to somebody...). ## Frequently Bought Together - Celestron 93588 Astro Night Vision Flashlight, Black - Celestron 93575 LensPen Optics Cleaning Tool, Black - Celestron 81055 NexYZ 3-Axis Universal Smartphone Adapter, Patented Design - Works with Telescopes, Spotting Scopes, Binoculars, Monoculars and Microscopes, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1853724-celestron-astro-night-vision-flashlight-black](https://www.desertcart.pl/products/1853724-celestron-astro-night-vision-flashlight-black) --- *Product available on Desertcart Poland* *Store origin: PL* *Last updated: 2026-06-08*
