What Night Time Flash Do you Prefer?
Black Flash- Sometimes revered to as No Glow or invisible infrared, is a night time flash that uses infrared emitters that are not visually detectable. Cameras with black flash capabilities tend to run slightly higher in price, and often have a shorter illumination range, but it is simply a trade off for being invisible at night.
Infrared Flash- Often known as IR, red flash, or low glow, is a night time flash that gives off a slight red glow when taking photos or video. Contrary to the Black Flash, Infrared Flash cameras tend to be slightly lower in price, and have a longer illumination range, but does give off a detectable red glow.
White Flash- White Flash is the only flash on the market that will provide you with color night time photos. The trade off is a bright white flash that is able to be seen by everything. Most often White Flash cameras are used by researchers and hobbyists, and are not ideal for the use of security or hunting.
