This post is meant to let you know about some messing around I've done and the results I've found. I've never been quite happy with the color temperature of the LEDs in the dynamo lights I've owned, which includes the IQ Fly, Cyo, Eyc, and most recently the Edelux. Remembering that I was always partial to a nice yellow set of goggles back in my skiing days, I thought producing a less-blue light might be nicer for me. I experimented with some scrap pieces of Rosco colored photographic gels to get a more pleasing color temperature. I went for the commonly used and widely available CTO (color temperature orange). As far as I know, these come in CTO, 1/2 CTO, and 1/4 CTO, maybe others. The CTO is *really* orange and cuts out too much light, but might be OK with one of the newer super high lux lights. The 1/2 CTO is really nice but still absorbs just a tiny bit too much light for my Edelux. I'd recommend trying this one if you have a powerful light or a really dark commute. The 1/4 CTO turns the super blue LED light into a much nicer neutral/warm light without absorbing too much for city riding. If you don't have photographic gels, you can buy sheets really cheap. If you have a small light, you might be able to get away with using one of the tiny sheets from the *free *Rosco sample pack they'll send you.
