One other consideration - yellow will cause less glare if you are older or don't have perfect night vision. You might find that in spite of less light getting back to your eyes, you see more details at a distance because focus of the blue light is usually what goes first when your eyes get old or injured. You might get the best result with white up close and yellow aimed out at the horizon. This would give you good color perception up close to help avoid soft spots while still seeing better with the yellow at a distance.
Yea great job! I would hands down have thought the white would be best, but bright is not necessarily the best. Because I could make out a little more detail in the dusty area with the yellow at all distances, then with the amber I could actually see each bump in front of the vehicle and little more detail on the side.
Great! You guys never dissapoint. Both your products and your content as a brand are the best out there and I say it for real. Now, One sugestion. A video on the perfect do it all setup using the lights you would recoment for that. I have come up with a very nice setup in my rig that I would argue is so well planned that only race teams would make it better. My setup is the next: Amber fogs in the bumper Warm spots behind my grille eired to the high beams (of course also the OEM headlights using 65 watt HIDs) A pair of spots in the A pillars aimmed about 10 degrees out A pair of flood pods also in the A pillars aimed like 75 degrees out and 10 degrees down A wide lightbar in the roof in a hiper focused spot beam aimed as far out as possible. (Note, I place it on top of the roof just far behind enough so thar my roof helps to shadow the hood and that way I don't have any glare). And then all the other speciphics. I like camping and overlanding, so I have side scene lights, some rock lights, auxiliary reverse lights and chase lights that also serve as auxiliary stops and turn signals. How would you build a better every day, do it all rig?
Thanx for your video . I wanted to find out the difference between amber or yellow auxillary lights on my bike, & I've chosen yellow based on your info cheers from NZ
The yellow looked best for dust/snow. The amber had a hot spot which I didn't care for. Of course, they all perform better in those conditions when mounted low.
White and yellow are lenses, with amber being a cover. But what if you snapped the amber color on a light with a yellow lens? Honestly just curious of the output color temp.
Seemed like Yellow was still much better than Amber on the trail. Would've like to maybe see Amber at slower speed vs Yellow to see if it still is better. Maybe next reboot on the video or run another? I'll subscribe to see if this comes out in another video. 🤞 Thanks for the demonstration!
I’ve ran both quite a bit! And just from my personal experience, in HEAVY HEAVY dust the amber shields perform amazing, you just need more lights since the lux lost is so heavy. I do love the yellow since it’s a “brighter” output. They feel great at speed since the light throws further with the higher lux but truly the amber is easier to see through the dust if you have enough lights to counter the loss. - Jacob
Out side of the stuff you're teaching. If you have a panel for a transition to a new section you don't need to say it, just jump to it. 3:41 - 3:56 isn't necessary, have one or the other. Great video though

Will there be yellow lenses for the Pro6? I know many request them for the Pro6 driving lights vs the current lower performing amber lenses.
Exactly the video I was looking for, the presenter was great.

Thanks for the video. You made it much easier to decide on what to go with 👍
Been loving the new Performance Yellow Lenses on my FE4's and FE1's.
Love to hear it! 🤜

All I know that light bar would look so dope on the front of my Jeep. Of course with the performance yellow lens🙌🏻
This video answered all my questions.
Love to hear it! Let us know if you have any other questions! - Jacob
The best video on this topic i can find in my two hours search on youtube!
Well thanks for stopping by!!

Tried this for fun, it’s actually very similar to the amber color but it blocks so much light I wouldn’t recommend it! - Jacob
Looking for cooperation, Jenny from Sammoon
big difference between Yellow and Amber.
Exactly!

@@victorhernandez8452 I could see much farther and clear with the Yellow. Amber had shady areas.

Appreciate the reply, Jacob. That definitely is the info I was looking for. 🙏
This episode should just be called "acronyms and future war crimes"

Too much talking… i didn’t even finish the video and moved on to other short video…
