Nobody really uses personal lighting for these systems. It's like carrying
a spotlight around with you. Also, no-one uses a single frequency, it's
more like a spread (or spectrum. Just not as big as the visual one). They
tend to be fairly close to the visual spectrum.

Most systems actually tend to be lowlight/IR... to make the IR part more
effective.
