I use both. But the amber is alot brighter then the red. If you dont have a high voltage light dont waste your money on a red lens. Far as shinning coon its a toss up between the two
a new hunter was on valley creek and saw they had diffrent color pop lenses for coon lights, was wondering why and what the diffrent colors of lights did im sure they have a purpose
The colored lenses tone down the light and alot of times a coon will look at a colored light faster than a bright, white one. I never figured out why, unless it's just curiosity. I like the amber lenses, personally, but others have luck with red. In varmint hunting, we use red lenses because if you shine a red lensin the eyes of a coyote, the ambient light doesn't seem to spook any others that might be coming in and alot of times you can get two where a big bright light, a loud gunshot and their buddy dropping dead beside them will run the others of a group off.

It dims the light and takes some sharpness away from it and the coon seem to look at it better. Old timers would light a lightered splinter and find him with the glimmer of light coming from it. As for the different colors I think it is the hunters preference.
