QUESTION

Are there any specific reason to use the black or the white Wireless Bolt?
 

ANSWER

Yes, the white Wireless Bolt is better compared to the black when the Bolt is exposed to sunlight.

This is because of the infra-red thermal heat-up caused by the black color, rendering higher temperatures inside the housing. This results in shorter lifetime of the electronics as well as overheating and potential shut down.
