What
Color is Right For You?
 |
Red
Light. This intense color is favored by pilots, sailors, fishermen,
and astronomers for the excellent ability to preserve night vision
and also for safety (red is an internationally recognized attention
color), signaling, and map reading. Ideal for finding your seat and
reading programs in theaters without disturbing other patrons. As
an example, Photon reds are 626nm 24°. |
White
Light. White is great for all around use as everything you look
at is viewed in full color. The narrow-angle bulb produces an incredibly
bright flashlight-style beam. As an example, Photon whites are full
spectrum 6500° Kelvin 20° |
Blue
Light. Blue, turquoise, and white are the brightest of the Photon
lights. The blue is tremendously bright and excellent for walking
at night. Wide angle beam illuminates everything to the side as well
as forward. As an example, Photon Blues are 470nm 30° |
Yellow
Light. A traditional flashlight type beam. Will project 20 to
30 feet onto an area you desire to see. As an example, Photon yellows
are 590nm 15°. |
Green
Light. Nearly as bright as the blue, turquoise, & white lights
but with a longer battery life. The green light will run about 20
hours with one set of batteries. As an example, Photon greens are
525nm 30° |
Orange
Light. This one is bright! The orange combines some of the aspects
of both the red and the yellow. It doesn't disturb your night vision
as much as the yellow, and illuminates things better than the red.
Great for signaling. Photon orange is 605nm 15°. |
Turquoise
Light. The turquoise appears slightly brighter than the blue.
It is great for walking at night. Wide angle beam lights up the whole
room. As an example, Photon Turquoise is 500nm 30° |
Infrared
Light. Infrared light is invisible to the naked eye. These
lights can be used with night vision scopes & goggles, or with other
equipment sensitive to infrared light, such as Sony's NightShot line
of video cameras. Many video surveillance cameras are also sensitive
to infrared light. As an example, Photon IR's are 890 nm 12° LEDs.
|
Ultraviolet
Light. Spot counterfeits, check fluorescent hand stamps, find
traces of erasures, blood and other bodily fluids. As an example,
Photon UV's are 370nm 10° |
Purple
- special purpose "black light" is 405nm, wide angle |
