I use red lense on my lights i use for moving bees at night. Bees don't see red and the red light allows me to see what i am doing and dosen't interferr with my night vision. Haven't you noticed how when someone comes up behind you with those white or bright blue lights it blinds you for a second?
Actually a higher color temp on the Kelvin scale means MORE color, and LESS light, a pure white light will be from 4500K to about 5500K. Typical halogens are about 3300K to around 3700K the latter being a yellowish light.

I would agree here that if you are going halogen, the Silverstars are a good choice, and for the money, hard to beat.
