So it's been my second time to do a night dive, this time i brought with me my own light "Pinceton Tec 95 Lumens LED", it's a bright light for checking crevices and using as a spot light when you're taking a pic of a creature and you don't have a strobe on your point and shoot camera.
one thing i noticed is that this light when pointed out in the open, only lights up probably 5 feet of space in front of me, compared to a yellow light that just cuts through water and goes a long way, probably around 20 feet away.
so my question is... do white lights behave this way? is it because it's LED? is it because it has only 95 Lumens? does it mean that the brighter/hotter the light it's more scattered?
