Why Use Maglite Flashlights With RED Bulbs?

When you need a rugged USA-made flashlight, you normally choose Maglite Flashlights. But here’s a new reason to choose America’s favorite torch:

  1. Red light is easier on the eyes than white light.
  2. Red light is easier on the eyes than any other color, especially blue.

Red lighting is used in confined spaces like airline cockpits, boats, and truck cabins. The visual spectrum of light goes from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet. As we go from red to violet, the “energy” and frequency of the light increases. The higher the energy and frequency, the more disturbing it is to the eyes. I once had a car with red lights instead of blue ones in the dash. I noticed how pleasant the red lighting was.
