I will add, the Tikka has 3 levels of white light and one of
red. It also has a red blink mode, if you can think of a use for it.
If you are trying to avoid insect attacks, the best color is one
they can's see. If I remember correctly, most insects see well
in the blue and UV range.

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.)
