i have seen some a walmart, but i swipped one of my nephews "night vision" toys. it uses a super bright red LED. works like a charm, and he will never miss it. Lowes also had a light that uses LEDs. flip the switch one way it lights red, push it the other way it was white. but they were $30-$35. i couldnt see it just to look at a fish tank LOL.

I imagine you could just use some transparent red paper of some sort.
