Hejsan,
alltid interessant att se vart diskussioner drar iväg
hittade en ganska interessant uppställning pa nätet - interessant bl.a. att rött ljus används mindre nu ihop med kartor eftersom en del kartor markerar faror med röda streck/symboler, som givetvis blir lite kluriga att se om man lyser med endast rött pa kartan:
--------------------------------------------
Red - Red is the traditional color for maintaining night vision. Today most pilots and the military have switched to other colors for night vision protection because red erases the red lines that indicate hazards or danger on their maps and charts. Astronomers still love the red, because red enhances contrast and makes their charts easier to read.
Green - The use of Green LEDs is a growing preference for pilots and the military. The green color is also great for retaining night vision, but it doesn’t erase the red markings on the maps and charts. Green can also be easier on the eyes.
Blue - Many people like the blue simply because it is very easy on the eyes and is an attractive color. Blue eliminates many colors on maps and charts, changing everything to shades of a bluish-gray. The military is starting to go from red and green for their night vision needs to blue. This seems to be a slow but steady transition. Blue is also used in forensics for finding bodily fluids at crime scenes. A great tool now with DNA technology. We are also working on a new leak detection system for automotive applications. Finally, blue appears to be a great reading light for elderly eyes. Elderly folks report that they can read under the blue light for hours without eyestrain, compared to severe eyestrain in less than 30 minutes with incandescent lighting.
White - We can’t forget white, it is the most popular of all of the LED colors. The white LED has very special characteristics; it produces a soft white light, without the harsh reflection, glare or shadows. For close-up work, such as, splicing wires, automotive repairs, external pre-flight inspections, equipment repairs (computers, elevators, etc.) and reading, white LED flashlights are the perfect general purpose flashlights. White is a reliable, long-lasting, durable and efficient light source.
