The red one's good if you don't want people to see your light from miles away. The blue one was good for fine work while keeping your light dim. I forget what yellow was for. So if your ever crawling around in your dark workshop and want to have a dimmer light... We had coloured lenses like these issued to us in the air force.

It turns it gray. FWIW, the blue lens is very useful if you need to see anything marked in yellow ink. It turns it gray.

And you can just buy the colored lenses for a mini mag. They're only a couple of dollars, and come with a red, blue, and yellow lens, a pocket clip, and a wrist lanyard.

It sat in my glove box about 90% of the time in the 1.5 years I had it. The amount of light output seemed less than a mini-mag. After awhile I'd have to fidget with it just to get it to come on and then it just stopped working. I never bothered to figure out exactly what went wrong but I'd imagine using any sort of colored filter would diminish the light output to a useless level. Definitely not recommended.

You don't want to have to reach into your pocket when "Staying Alive" starts playing. The belt clip is a nice touch.
