Whats the difference? As long as its bring in crappie
Just whatever one thinks works the best for them.....some like white......others like green.
Both will work and I have used both. I have used Green for a pretty long time now so I just stick with Green.
I am partial to the green
They both seem to work about the same to me, but that green is so darn peaceful to fish by....
Green is supposed to reach further underwater giving you a larger light pool for the power used. Or so I have read. I have white.
green it is
Yep, it has been scientifically shown that green light penetrates lake water better than white light. Both will work though. I use green.
when asked which to buy, i say white. then if you want to try green wrap it with green plastic wrap. i use both at times.
The use of white light from any source assumes that a broad-spectrum light propagates well in water. It doesn't. Pure water looks blue and it passes blue and green light with very little absorption. Typical lake, bay or offshore water is not pure, but contains various dissolved organic matter, photo-synthetic pigments and particulate material. Salt has very little effect on light absorption, but the other ingredients do. Tests reveal that light between 450 and 550 nm (nano meters) transmits through lake, bay or offshore water with the least attenuation. Other wavelengths of light, especially near the low, infra-red end, are dramatically absorbed. Green light has a wavelength around 525 nm, near the center of the range, thus green light propagates better than other colors in fresh or salt water. Rather than waste energy by using broad-spectrum white light, use green light.
