I am interested in peoples experience with different colors and the variations of white. I have a couple of LED lights (cool white) in a boat. These have tight spacing in about a 6" bar. These were too bright for night fishing and had to keep our backs to them. What colors have worked well for you? Red is suppose to be the most efficient in LED, but not so for the human eye. I want to be able to see where things are in the boat, to prevent tripping and breaking stuff, but not to cause night blindness.
I am currently thinking the rope style LEDs for my current project. These have 1" spacing and hope that mounting under the rail will provide enough light down into the boat but not toward our eyes while sitting or standing on the deck. I'll have to expeirment with that before mounting.
Bugs: I have been told that LED's won't attract bugs. I can't recall seeing them around my cool white ones, but know that they love the incadeciant in the anchor light. Is this true? If so, probably because they do not give off any heat? and I'd spring for some in the anchor light.
