I feel there are some common misconceptions on CPF. Please add and/or correct my OP.
1. Red LEDs are better at preserving night vision.
I was wrong. Red LEDs are better at preserving night vision. They allow you to see with your cones (cells that perceive colors), without ruining the night adaptation of your rods (which are extremely sensitive to light and take a while to adjust back to night adapted vision, but they are not sensitive to red light).
2. ____ emitter = ____ tint.
Completely different. Emitters are rated on both flux bin and tint bin. Flux bin is separate from tint bin. Flux bin is completely different from tint bin. Tint bin is rarely advertised and is separate from flux bin which is usually advertised all over the light and box. Flux bin is rarely noticed/perceived, tint bin is usually complained about on CPF.
