Which  Hat Colour Lamp would be most useful to the Miner for mining purposes?

Is it White, Blue, Red, Green etc?

Will it be useful to design & manufacture a multi-colored Lamp for miner which will allow him to set different lamp colours?

Thanks & Regards,

Do you feel having more than one lamps fixed on the miner cap can increase brightness?

I'd say white light, given it provides the full spectrum of colors that we can observe. Compare, for example, your cellphones flashlight to a conventional flashlight using a halogen bulb. The light given-off by a conventional flashlight is yellowish-orange, while that given-off by your phone (LED source) is extremely bright.

I don't see different shades of light beneficial for miners. If I was down there, I'd want the brightest lights I can find.

Hope this post was informative! Any other questions, let us know.

Normally they have a huge bulb that emits tons of white light along with the ones position in their helmets. The more light, the better
