Blue = bad at night.
The blue-purple tint is even worse. Blue light causes tunnel vision, greater glare, and won't penetrate rain/snow/fog. And EVERY halogen light with a blue colour is tinted, meaning a large chunk of its light is being filtered out. The Sylvania Silverstars are the only tinted halogen bulbs I know of (Philips might make one, can't remember right now) that produce the same or greater illumination as the most basic halogen bulb. Let me put this as strongly as I can: Sylvania Silverstars are LIGHTLY tinted, yet lose 40% of their light output. Any bulb with a blue-purple output will not be lightly tinted. (The 40% loss is based on the untinted Osram Silverstars, which are the same bulb design and produce 150% of the light a standard halogen does. A Sylvania Silverstar's tint cuts that down to 110%). |
