My headlamp is equipped with LED and green light. I use the LED to get into where I want to hunt then switch to green when I get close to my stand or blind. I read somewhere that animals can't see the green light. Anyway it works for me.

This morning while going though the dark timber at 3:30 AM this morning.  I was very quiet and could see a little in front of me and make out some objects.  There was a little opening to my left about 20 yards.  There was a bear.  Not a big one possibly 150 lbs.  But she took off and took another one with her.   That sure got my heart pumping.  Working your way in the dark can be very exciting!!!  ;)
