I have read mixed reviews about lights that really project blood at night. Anyone have any experience or recommendations for one that you have used? Do they really work?

I never tried it but had some buddies tell me that it worked as advertised. Dont have a clue if it is still available or even made anymore.

I think it is something about the color or light frequency, but those old colemans are way better than a flashlight or new style headlight in my opinion and for my eyes.

I have seen someone run one of these flashlights and it made the blood stand out.
