Which color is the best to use during nighttime tactical operations, and why? Instructor White does his best to explain.

Used in this instructional are the Walther XT2 (400 lumen) with filters, and a 10 lumen size AAA micro torch.

*Thank you! When I was in The Army during night operations, I always closed one of my Eyes whenever a flashlight was turned on irregardless of what the color was being used! It helped me Tremendously!*

I taught night vision goggles helicopter training at the US Army school-house (Ft. Rucker, Alabama) for years... If you want to be sneaky, red light travels the least distance, and is harder to see by the human eye due to the Perkinje shift effect when the eye starts to dark adapt. For home defense, use an intense blue/green flashing light to stun your target.

In my opinion red is the best for camouflage because it doesn't reflect well from green items like grass, leaves and most likely your uniform. Green on the other hand would make you very visible and in the night every other thing that is not illuminated artificially is either black or dark grey.

RUN TO CADENCE WITH THE US Marines, volume III. CLASS 2–96. I used to listen to this in the 90s when I would do my 6 mile runs.

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Good comparison Instructor!

You're wrong. Red is the most stealthy if you want to avoid detection.

People say that red “doesn’t travel as far” but, scientifically, blue has a shorter wavelength and doesn’t travel as far, it would penetrate less through any sort of smoke, brush, clothes, glass, dust, etc. sunsets are red for a reason—it’s the red light that gets through.

Does that make it better for mot being detected? Idk.

Wait it's supposed to take 45 mins to get your proper ngiht vision back? Huh I'm guessing 2 mins is kind strange then?

I wish blue lights were illegal for transit vessels, they really do blind oncoming drivers. Thanx.

Is it true the story of the Vietnam red night vision testing that had people seeing weird things?

In conclusion, outline bodies of water and trace rivers on your map overlay then stick to blue light at night.

Umm, pretty sure Red is less likely to disturb my neighbours. I think you're mistaking the fact that Green Light doesn't scare away animals when you're hunting. Of course Green sits in the middle so you're less likely gonna get detected using Green instead of Blue.

Let's take a look at Christmas Lights. The LEDs are all the same Wattage yet the Blue ones are the most noticeable.

Here's another thing. On foggy nights, the Cooler White Flashlights have a more noticeable beam where as more Warmer tints penetrate through the Fog.
