White , sure but not blue because of the short wavelength . Short wavelength light scatters and is therefore not as sharp as a longer wavelength. Are we off topic yet??

Wayyy off.

But, it's a well known fact that the shorter wavelength allows finer detail to be captured/rendered or imaged.
OK, so this is in photographic terms, and more specifically under UV lighting .. but the theory still holds for viewing as well.

reading stuff is always easier under harsher light than it is under warmer, more complimentary lighting.
As your eyesight starts to fail(but hasn't failed completely, as mine is currently undergoing) this effect is clearly to see(yet again, pun intended).

actually, while we're off topic, the other side of halogen lights that seems to go totally under the radar is the effect of IR they cause on our eyes.
IR light is as dangerous to human eyes as is UV light, and it's one of those wavelengths we can see.

maybe the AMA should do a case study on the effects of halogen headlights on long haul truck drivers eye sight.

Without talking about the science of it all because I skip all of that on the Fyrlyt page I have Fyrlyts and a LED light bar. The Fyrlyts are way better than the Lightforces I had on a previous vehicle. I suffer from light sensitivity and they don't hurt my eyes. I use the lightbar for the spread as a secondary light source but will be upgrading to Nemesis as soon as I can afford to.

In summary from someone who wears tinted glasses to work in an office Fyrlyts are brilliant on the eyes in my experience.
