Well in this particular auction I don't think lightner applies nevertheless I think a ♣ will not work so I will try the other major

Partner has made a 100% obvious lightner double, however we seem to have a guess between the red suits. If partner is doubling on a void a heart seems marginally better, if partner is doubling on a red suit AK then a diamond seems marginally better.
I will guess to lead a heart, but really a diamond seems just as reasonable.

That's impossible. No one can give more than one hundred percent. By definition that is the most anyone can give.

partner failed to open 1♦, I think he is more likelly to hold ♥AK than ♦AK. Also he is more likelly to have a heart void, so heart it is.

its a total red suit guess, LHO has a void in clubs and a strong side suit to go with his spade support.
I'd go with diamond, partner stands to be void with some kind of 2506 or 1507 type hand. Although the position could be switched in favor of a heart void, I think its more likely partner opened a 65 or 75 hand 1C because he had a major to go with it.

A small ♦ feels better, because I think partner Doubled on values rather than a void.

Too bad we have 5 of them, a bit much to lead the king and take a look.
and the result can be plotted on a graph.

I lead a heart.....if he has red AK, it's a guess...if he has a red suit void, it is slightly more likely to be in hearts than in diamonds. So assuming that my lead matters, there is a small but unambiguous edge to the heart lead: imo this is a classic instance where the decision is close yet clear.
