Great job Sam!

I experimented with red lights for bugging a long time ago and found thy don't work well.

I spoke to a biologist who researched invertebrate vision and he said lobsters don't see red light but they do have excellent night vision, so the red light doesn't blind them and they see you coming.

White light blinds them and causes them to freeze momentarily so you have a chance to grab them.
