It all boils down to color temperature and wavelengths. White lights typically have a Kelvin color temperature of around 5000-5700K, where Amber lights range anywhere from 2500K to 4000K and appear more yellow/warmer. Higher color temperatures have shorter wavelength which will have more refraction from particles in the air such as dust, rain, snow, or fog. The Amber Shields create a light lower color temperature & longer wavelength light that will have less glare off of airborne particles. So, long story short? Just use these whenever you're in the dust or anything similar.
