Comment on What's the best way to read a book in a dark room?

Red light doesn’t mess up your night vision. With a red light you can turn it off and still see as long as there’s some ambient light such as moonlight. With white light you need to wait for 10 to 15 minutes for your eyes to get accustomed.

That’s what the eyepatch is for though.
Mine stated the above on the package. But of course you’re right too, there are multiple benefits of having red light instead of bright white.
