Statistically I know it is reckoned that majority of encounters are low light or even dark.
I did wonder tho today, as walking back to house from office and scanning - just how darned difficult it is seeing well against the sun. Makes me think of fighter pilots attack methods - come out of the sun! Gets easier of course as sun gets higher towards summer - tho evening sun still problematic at times.
Obviously if something goes down, chances are we have zero choice about positions - lighting etc. Even strong street lamps can be tricky if in your eyes and a potential threat is in shadows - they have an advantage and our ability to identify threat could be well compromized.
So, really just acknowledging something that could work against us quite badly - even if a good yellow maintained. I'd much rather have the strong light/sun behind me!!
