Steve:
Welcome aboard.
For many years I only used the brighter white lights, but I think the trend today is that red lights are more subtleon the eyes and when flashed on the water - they don't have the intensity to possibly scare fish away like the brighter, white lights do.
Many of the headband lights today come with white, bright white, and red colors. I can tell you that the red is much easier on the eyes when tying knots, changing plugs, etc.
