RE: What color is your blood tracking lights
In the past I've used incandesent bulb flashlights (LED's suck ass). And when blood gets thin, I use a propane lantern. The light off that lantern seems to reflect blood better than anything I've used to date.
I am interested it this new Gerber Carnivore light I see advertised. If it works as well as advertised, I would pay $45 for it. Saw it in Sportsmans Guide fot that price.

I use a propane lantern. It puts out a bunch of light and makes the blood easy to see.
tylertool.com has the carnivore lights for $36.72 and the headlamp for $28.08, on sale.
I did a post in the deer hunting section about this light. Only got a few responses,but majority said it wasn`t worth the $. On another web site, the guys said they liked it. Who knows?

I had a gerber last year, but have lost it. No great loss in my opinion. I used it on blood in the field and on a "test" at home and neither impressed me at all. The technology behind it is probably heading in the right direction, but Gerber has not found the solution yet...again, in my opinion.

IMO, a very bright white light(not a cheap yellow light) is the way to go. You don't need to spend the extra money for the "blood tracking" multi-color light. It's a gimick. I think anything with multiple white LEDs should be good.

RE: What color is your blood tracking lights
I have a Carnivore light and to me a white light works better, I agree completely with what he ^^^ says.
Maybe the Carnivore works better for older people with bad eyesight? I like my Streamlight Strion, it's a compact rechargeable lithium light.
