I use my head light almost all the time when going in or out in the dark. It has multiple settings, including a red light. I will use the red light most of the time and will use brighter settings if necessary (thats not very often). I do carry a good streamlight handheld light but thats primarily for tracking only. I'm interested in the green light after some posts here.

I personally don't think lights bother deer that much. Last yr. I walked to less than 10yds. of an absolute monster size buck (rack-wise). It was an hr. before daylight or so and he was laying down on a little hump alongside a creek. I had my dim headlight on I use for watching my step and another handheld light that casts a long beam. I shined both lights on him and he never even looked at me...just looked past me in other directions like I wasn't there.

Walked up on a couple more last season also..one another real big droptine. Him and a doe did lope off. I don't worry about the lights..use them as I need them.
