To See or not See, or is it See or be Seen
First of all my eyes don't see anywhere near as well as they did 40 years ago or for that matter 30 or even 20, that sux. If I remember correctly when I was in the army nearly 40 years ago we were told that it took about 20 - 30 minutes for your night vision to be at it's best after being exposed to a bright light. So less bright = a quicker return to optimum vision. I need all the help I can get. I try to use the minimum amount necessary to tie a new knot or pick through my plug bag, it helps me to see better sooner which is comforting out there on the edge of the world in the dark. The other thing is that I believe, that the less visual presence I have out there, the better chance I have of tricking a nice fish into eating something that really isn't good for it to eat, so that I can eat it. For that reason I use a very dim red headlamp that I point down at my hands and that only when necessary. As far as when it's time to move or go I'm a white light man all the way. Neck light points to my feet and the head light points wherever I'm looking. Saftey first. As I said, I don't see as well as I uesd to and I HATE to fall down.
