    plain speak, that means "battery pig". Similar to green lasers.

    Then there is this headlamp/hand light combo which matches one luxeon star 
    but is dimmable and has red leds that ramp up from dim so is astro-friendly.  
    It's switching power supply based so uses batteries much more efficiently than 
    direct drive/dropping resistor type lights like the big 5 thing.
