The more I use my TS10, the more I like it. Superb little torch. I carry my WK02 4000K for work every day. Love the tint, the well spaced modes, and it’s super handy. Thanks Wurkkos!
Red and Green are often used for hunting animals that can see white but not red/green so much, so you can sneak up on them better and kill them. Not very sporting, but it works.
Blue is often used for “blood tracking”, too.
I think it was Brynite that made a zoomie that would have R/G/W chips on a slider, that would slide under the lens when selected. No blue. That was marketed as a hunting light.
But “light-painters”, or people who just like playing with different colors, can use, say, red (or green) on its dimmest setting to not ruin night vision. And blue can be used as a cheap way to check (some) fluorescence.
I thought the original WK30 would be just a “gimmick” light, but it became (and still is) one of my favorites.
I use my WK30’s red light on the dimmest setting for putzing around at night without ruining my night vision. Nice and floody, not a bright concentrated hotspot.
Me, I like floody lights for the wider angle, except for when I want/need dedicated throwers. So floody is definitely good.
In the ANSI/NEMA FL1 chart, just to clarify:
The mode Runtime(police flash) refers to just red and blue flashing right?
While (color flash) is for red, blue and green flashing?
Thanks
