=======================
Either Lowes or The Borg (I was in both yesterday) have small
flashlights with BOTH white and Red LED Bulbs..

Seperate switches on the barrel (one is red) to control each light..
a few drops of super glue on the white light switch would prevent
dummies like me from turning on the wrong light....

Cost was more then I felt I needed to spend however..
