Is there any advantage to having halogen lamps with a blue coating such as Silverstar or Sylvania Blue other than stroking one's vanity? The wattage is the same. It seems like all they due is filter out part of the red end of the spectrum. Since scatter from dispersed particles is inversly proportional to the fourth power of wavelength the bluer the light the less one can see in fog, rain, or snow. I can remember when foglights were yellow and in fog one turned off the headlights so you could see better wtih the yellow lights alone.
