Listen here, guy: If you're not using a red light AS an eyepatch, then I don't even know how to help you. |
Posted by MYSTERY-IS-IN-THE-AIR I found a headlamp that has a red light, blue light, green light and a white light. It costs $15 dollars at big 5 in California! I got lucky because it was on sale. I'm sure you can find one at a sporting goods store, or even online. Here's a link if you're interested: http://www.big5spo...e-d-headlight.html |
Posted by Crashplan Do you like it in terms of how bright it is? I know it says that it is 67 lumens, but is this something you would feel comfortable wearing in an abandonment at night? I'm looking for a headlamp which won't give away my location in a heartbeat to anyone on the outside. |
Posted by GreyMan I believe a lot of the armed forces worldwide are switching to green as well, for the same reason that you do not need as bright of a green light to see as you do a red. |
Posted by Big Poppa Just eat bulk carrots bro! http://www.danube-...img_product_39.jpg Wait, maybe that's an old wive's tale. |
Posted by MYSTERY-IS-IN-THE-AIR Check this out: http://blogs.scien...-believe-your-dad/ If you eat too many carrots, you can turn orange haha. Send me a message if you try it! |
Posted by Steed Mythbusters did an episode on this. I think it would be worth a try at some point. |
Posted by skatchkins When I get up to pee at night I leave one eye closed while the bathroom light is on. I switch to the other eye to "see" in the dark while walking back to bed. I don't clean the toilets but I believe my depth perception to be unaffected. |
Posted by MYSTERY-IS-IN-THE-AIR Thanks for all the good information. Now I won't have to use a creepy red light(which is the reason why I started this thread, I didn't want to use a red light xD). |
Posted by SuchundFind But if you have to use low light, don't forget the people you want to avoid will be able to also see your not creepy green light. If you already believe that a certain light color is creepy, you might want to stay at home. |
Posted by GreyMan From what I have read, it's more the intensity of light that matters. The human eye is supposed to be more sensitive to green than red, so you can use a lower intensity light if it's green than if you were trying to get the same ambient levels with a red light. I believe a lot of the armed forces worldwide are switching to green as well, for the same reason that you do not need as bright of a green light to see as you do a red. |

Posted by MYSTERY-IS-IN-THE-AIR Hey so I had a question about eyepatches. I know that using red lighting in dark areas doesn't disturb your eyes' adjustment to darker lighting once the light is turned off, but is it true that wearing an eyepatch is just as effective? My friend said that if you want to use a white light, all you need to do is wear an eyepatch when the light is on so that one eye will be adjusted to dark lighting and the other will be adjusted to the bright lighting which would be coming from the white light. Do you think it's a good idea to do this or should I just use a red light? Do you think that an eyepatch would disturb my depth perception? |
