OK. I'm still relatively new to CPF and newer to LED's still (although I have ordered my ElektroLumens 3D Light Cannon and am waiting with sweaty hands to get it and try it out) and I have a question about the different colors.
I've read that the different colors are rated differently in mcd (whatever that is) but, what I want to know is, which is the brightest color? Turquoise? Green? White? I'd like to preserve my color vision, if possible, but I'm more concerned with brightness and having the light travel over distance, like a bright incandescent (Legend LX or UK SL6). Could someone explain it to me, simply at first, then get more geeky so I can gradualy get up to speed on all the terminology? Thanks!!!
