Hello everyone  

Im looking for a light that has a red filter for my SBR home defense gun.  If i need too use it at night i dont want bright white light it causes night blindness.
i would like a red light/red filter and a remote switch for my rail and ease of use.

thanks

Most of the Surefire lights can be fitted with an OEM red filter.

Butler Creek makes clear objective caps in multiple sizes.  

A red permanent marker will turn it into a red lens filter.  

Buy the light that meets your needs, if there's not an OEM filter cap... roll your own.

Have you looked into the SureFire IntellaBeam? It adjust from 5 lumens up to 350 depending on how far the object is away. Also for indoor a SureFire with a 6P led is @ 85 lumens which is perfect for indoor or you can always look into buying low output Malkoff light or drop in module for a SureFire.

You should rethink your setup and or tactics if you need a red filter    You should also know the floor plan of you home for defense.  A bright visible light is for target ID and to disorient any bad guys ( not preserve their night vision )   If you need "running lights" their are other colored/ lo power options out there to augment your main light
