As I understand it, cool white is good for indoors and natural or warm white is better for outdoors because it cuts through the air, fog, pollution, haze better ... does that sound right? Red light won't scare animals, won't announce your position and is easy on the eyes, blue will freak your felon partner out and light up blood trails and so on.
What I'm wondering is, if natural white or warmer white is good for flashlights outdoors, why are all these new fangled cars running around with ice cold blue headlight beams? I mean, they are sharp and blinding in some cases. Light is light outside whether it's a flashlight, car light, bike light, motorcycle, or lightning bug.
Any experts here who can chime in?
