Thanks Mick, but I'm with Mike. The lower frequency end of the Spectrum makes more sense to me to. I find a lot of detail is lost on the blue side.
Cheers, Billy.

AMA has released evidence that Blue Spectrum lighting is causing longer term problems also!

Its a horrible light, i will admit i have one, only there because i can't be bothered taking it off. Absolutely less than useless when the sea mist rolls in, you can't see 2 metres infront of the car, just a big wall of white! Turn it off and let the halogen headlights cut straight through it.

SupporterYou do realise there is no roo in that pic, if not LED's are a shocking light as I can't see one.Yeah, but that light bar helps Grey Roos disappear into Natural Flora due to glare and poor CRI
No roos, but the lightbar did send the old donkey heading for the shrubbery to get away from it.Yeah, but that light bar helps Grey Roos disappear into Natural Flora due to glare and poor CRI

And that applies to (budget ?) LED torches, for which I must confess I have an almost unmentionable , um, fetish. (According to SWMBO)
I've got one 'warm white' LED cheapy (18650 lithium battery) that is supposed to be only 150 to 200 lumens... but it does a WAY better job - especially in bush/greenery - than others from similar manufacturers which claim up to 900 lumens. And yes, it was nearly double the price of it's Blue-ish light cousins. I normally only pay up to $25 for 2 ot 3 cell flammenwerfers... Yep, i'm a cheapskate!
One of my earliest toys, a FENIX (Good brand-name) TK 20 series is again a Neutral/warm White, 2x AA, and "up to 150" lumens. But it punches above it's weight, again because of the high Colour Rendering Index of 'warm/Neutral' white.
Which is why I prefer filament headllight globes wherever possible. Or HID of 3800 K for spotties.
I don't know anything about cri, all I know is the lightbar makes the Lightforce spots seem pathetic by comparison.

I have got big led torches, small ones even ones that you can focus the beam on.
Each door pocket has at least 1 led torch in it as there is in the tool bag and rear drawers.
I have got a couple of them rechargeable torches that look like the old "Dolphin" torches with a normal beam, a fluro like light and even a flashing red light on them and on top of this it has a USB outlet that you can charge your phone on as well.
Every time I go to Bunnings or BCF I usually come out with some sort of torch or headlamp .

Glare is often perceived as bright, when in fact, using a Lux meter it can be significantly lower...
Bright smooth light with no hot spots is far easier to drive behind, and CRI helps you differentiate between flora and fauna more easily.
Depending where you’re driving it can make a big difference.
CRI and Colour temp also makes a big difference in dusty or wet conditions.
