The rear half of the plastic case comes off after unscrewing a thumbscrew at the rear.GREGORY H : Uses a std 9V "transistor radio" battery. You remove the screw from the back and the sleeve comes off to reveal the battery. The battery lasts a LONG time. I have used mine in ~50 public skygazing events on the original "cheapo" battery and it's still going strong.STEPHEN M : The thumb screw which holds the lanyard is removed which allows the rear of the case to slide off in order to replace the standard 9V battery.PETER S : Regular 9V battery, 2 snap contacts

Rigel Systems Starlight Red LED Flashlight

Great product for viewing star charts and instrument panels on my Celestron Sky Prodigy Telescope. Great price and customer service. Reasonable shipping time. Highly recommend this product and this company.

useful red light for astronomy

I like the range of brightness this unit offers. For Astronomy use, you want to be able to adjust to the minimum light needed. I have some headlamp red lights but find them too bright to use.

The one to get

Have this one and the model that's white or red. The 9V battery last a LONG time (still on the original "no-name" battery after ~50 skygazing events). Unlike the "mini" version or competing models with the switch wheel extending thru a slot in the case, this light is easy to operate with gloves on. Only design flaw with these is the lanyard attach is an afterthought - thru the rubber o-ring on the case screw. Working so far, though.

Works perfectly

Great for use at the telescope. The red light goes from dim to quite bright. Preserves my night vision.

The bestselling astronomers' flashlight with 2 Red LEDs. The intensity is fully adjustable with Thumbwheel Brightness Control. Exclusive brightness regulation circuitry keeps the LEDs shining bright as batteries age, unlike other LED flashlights which start bright but quickly fade.
