What color tracking light do you use on a blood trail?

My Browning Black Ice, has a super bright LED, it is a blue-white color. It's such bright white, it almost looks like a blue tint. When tracking, the blood just glitters in the light.

MDYB, what bulb configuration is in your black ice? They have 4 different configs available in this same light. I am curious b/c I personally haven't found many LED's to be super bright. About the only benefit I have found with LEDs is power consumption properties are much lower. My petzel has finally given up the ghost and I am in need of find a suitable replacement. So I'd be interested in some more details about your browning? I may have to check them out. Thanks

BTW the petzel wasa goodhunting light, plenty bright and best of all hands free. The only complaint is battery life. Mine held 4 AA's which isn't thatspendy but it seemed to chew em up pretty quickly in continued use situations. They also froze very easily, due to the battery pack design (plastic). In Saskatchewan that isn't a great quality!

I like to use a coleman latern. That really makes the blood stand out. I also use my mini-mag with the LED insert. That works really well too.

While tracking my first deer ever this year, I alternated between white and blue. The blue really made the blood trail stand out. Wanted to try a colemanlantern, but it was in my truck a couple of miles away.

My Black Ice has the 6V with the center Xenon bulb and 6 LED lights. It isn't a spot beam by any means, but I havn't found a LED to be (yet...) I think the Black Ice is just a great handy little flashlight, that always got me in and out of the woods. The Xenon bulb isn't worth a hoot, the Bulb never lasts very long, but I find the LED's more useful anyways.
