The Petzl Tikka headlamp has a red LED mode. I like them because
they seem to be reasonably reliable compared with the other
small, inexpensive, headlamps I have used.
(One of the other headlamps I otherwise liked kept the battery
compartment closed with a thin loop of plastic. After changing
the batteries only a few times, the loop broke, the battery
compartment wouldn't stay closed, and the contacts on the
flopping lid no longer completed the circuit.)

The face, keys labels, and display are all clearly visible in

bet it exists. You'd want it to be fairly dim, in my
experience. My little CR2032-powered keychain red lamp is
plenty at night once I have my night vision. I carry the big
boy JIC I need it. ---
I just did a quick search for headlamps, and didn't see any
that I'd jump for. I am seriously thinking of putting a small
patch of velcro on the keychain red LED, and then I can mount
it wherever. Right now I keep it hanging from a button hole so
that it is always handy in the field. I'm thinking that
sticking some velcro on a ball cap bill would work fine.
