Out here, we are often doing chores past dark, so we got these handy-dandy headlamps for the purpose. They work great. Hands free, plenty bright. The new ones we recently got also have red LED's as well as the white flood, beam and combo available. We've learned to keep the lamps on the red LED as the bugs don't seem to be able to see it, or it doesn't attract or bother them one. (Nothing more annoying than trying to wash out a duck pool with moths and other bugs dive-bombing your face.)
Apparently not *all* bugs can't see the red LED... those lightning bugs can see it and they are either trying to mate with the big red glow, or they're trying to scare it off their turf - I've yet to figure out which. I am being dive-bombed by them when I go out to do chores which is only mildly less annoying than moths as the lightning bugs just land on your forehead and walk around.
ahhhh life on the farm.
