What is the difference/use for each type of light offered (red, uv, blue, infrared)?

I can only answer about the red. It is used when you don't want to wake someone who is sleeping in the room. I use getting ready in the morning if I am up early an don't want to wake my husband.

I have added a link to the Photon color explanation chart. It's got really good info. I got the blue and it is TOO bright for what I use it for. I should've gotten red because it protects your nightvision. http://www.photonlight.com/pages/Photon-LED-Beam-Colors.html

There is near-infrared and far-infrared. Near infrared bulbs DO produce Light AND heat. Far Infrared produces some light but mostly heat.

These units are in the 808 to 850 nm range, i.e. if you look directly into the unit when it is on, you will see the red LEDs. However, if you move say 45 degrees from directly in front of the unit, it is harder to see the red color. The unit is very well made and I have been using it every day for over a year. The housing is water proof. If you want a unit that does not glow red when on, look at the CMVision IR-200 which emits over 900 nm, so you can not tell the unit is on, plus it emits more light at a longer distance and cost only a little more than the IR110. The IR-110 is totally silent (no small fan), while the IR-200 has a small, very quite internal fan. Both units can be mounted outside (waterproof). Either unit will give you excellent service and work with B&W security cameras. Hope this helps.

The wavelength of light emitted by this laser is 532 nm.Red laser light is typically 650 nm.Blue laser light is around 480 nm.The human eye has the most sensitivity at 555 nm.That's why green light is more visible than other colors, it's closest to the wavelength to which the eye is most sensitive.

The big difference is blue flame heats air infrared heats objects. I think Infrared burns cleaner and a little more efficient. Both will heat an area about the same.

It's both actually. LED is the type of bulb being used (opposed to incandescent, halogen, etc). UV is the type of wavelength that bulb gives off (UV gives it the purple color).

That really depends. I also have a blue flame unit that I use in my well insulated garage. We use the infrared in a less insulated shop. If you're dealing with a room that's going to hold heat well, the blue flame is the way to go. If you're in a basement with cold walls that are going to dump heat outside, the infrared would be preferred. The blue flame really puts out hot air whereas the infrared projects heat out the front and heats objects more than the air. The infrared can make you feel warmer while working in an area, but doesn't heat the area itself as effectively. I hope that helps!

I'd then recommend the red version to you, the reviews say it's great for a night light, and the Q/A says it's ACTUAL red LEDs, not the "globe" that is coated, which is clear.

The 2700K and 3500K are the color temperature ratings. A lower color temperature will look more red while a higher color temperature will look more blue. Natural light is around 5000K.

to tell you the truth there isn't any difference, the only slight difference are the dates they were released to amazon, they say you can read with them, you really can't. the motion light with a shade is much better. the electric touch lamp is the best, 3 different levels, $54.

I have used led, but it doesn't last as long as uv....best to use uv I think

I think Green is easier to see in daylight than red. Green also cost considerably more. The TLR 4 has a basic light I think about 110 lumens. It does the trick. I also have a TLR-2 HL and its extremely bright at 630 lumens.

We have the ivory and the red color the ivory gives off more light than the red hope this helps

I can't really define the differences. I do like mine and feel comfortable using it. I mostly use it in a constant current mode in working with LEDs.

"Heat" is infrared radiation. A red heat lamp will transmit its light solely in the part of the spectrum that heats. A clear heat lamp broadcasts light in a wide range of frequencies most of which have no heating effect on the target. A red lamp is much more energy efficient in its conversion of electricity to warmth. Does that help?

Three . Blue, green and red. These are the best lights I've ever purchased! Sometimes the top light is a different color then the bottom light nice to watch

Depends if you want no glow of red from your illuminator, if you don't care pick (850) for 0 detection in pitch darkness, pick the virtually invisible infrared (950)
