Been looking at some of the new lights and have noticed some have white beam on high and some have darker or kind of yellow tone to them. Wondering what the difference is and which is best for finding coon with leaves off?

Depends on your eyes. My eyes work best with the tinted light. The bright white doesn't let me tell the fur from the tree bark.

First there are several versions of each. Some have too much blue in the white and some have too much yellow. My personal experience is a natural sunlight color works best. It renders the same colors you are used to looking at in the day time. So you can pick out detail better. The more white lights in my experience (everyone’s eyes are a little different) has been that the whiter the light the harder it is to see a lighter color coon against a lighter color tree it causes them to blend in. Also when leafs are on it causes a glare. I’m sure there are people that think different but that has been my experience.

A warm light(yellow) tent will reveal more color making it easier for some people to see a coon with. The white/blueish tinted light gives off a bit more light in a lux reading though. I've always thought myself and heard from others that coons will look a little bit better at the warm light. If I'm trying to get one to look I always prefer a red light anyways. You said with leaves off so you could really probably go with either one and it not matter.

I ask my customers a very simple question they can relate to. Most people have walked in office buildings that have ceiling lights with a drop ceiling. In the ceiling are fluorescent lights some will be warm white (yellow), some will be neutral (some people call natural) , and some will be bright white. I ask the customer what lighting system provides them the best light - and the majority will say bright white. Warm, neutral, and cool white are the 3 major colorings of LED lighting, LEDs come in virtually any kelvin temperature one could imagine. Ultimately the choice is up to the customer.

I had a bright white head, I also had a blueish white. Both I had a hard time finding coons that would look. I have a boss hotspot now and love it. It has a more natural sunlight tint to the light. And Mr Conkey is right about being able to see things differently. I can find a Coon that doesn't look a lot easier now.
