Is \"white\" overrated?
I've made some very non-scientific, purely subjective observations with all my LED lights. In comparing the color temperature of various lights, I found that my lights that have a slight yellow bias tend to throw the farthest. I'm not talking "puke" green LED, just a slight yellow tint. I'm wondering if a warmer color temperature has a better ability to penetrate through the dark. Ever wonder why fog lights are amber and not blue? My brightest, whitest light appears to be more reflected by particles in the air (dust) and hence the light it reflects back to me tends to obscure the light reflected back from the object I'm trying to illuminate. Does anyone share this observation, or am I going off the deep end staring into too many bright lights?
