Red Floods. Like an aircraft. See what's what! In the dark.

I have a friend who fitted a linear one not known about them to his golf trolly I do believe it is still in the lake lol

The red lighting isn't a bad idea. Reminds me of my Army days reading maps in the dark without ruining your night vision.
Where did you mount the lights? Are they aimed at the console or just general illumination?

Hi Rich. I included photo's in my earlier replies, so perhaps you can view them.
I see you're in Vancouver - a really great place. Harsh winters though, but fantastic in the summer. As are all the Canadian areas I've visited.
The red-floods are fantastic for using, whether to following a map or whatever else needs to be seen in the dark while driving.
I personally would not be without them. If switchable, they can be invaluable. However, there are some who don't know the benefits of having such items.
They might learn how effective they can be if they fitted them. It's like everything in life, where some need to be educated to see what is worth having.
I'm just waiting on a potentiometer (100KΩ 2W carbon-track variant) to complete what I've installed, as a MkII.
I'm about to drive to the UK, covering quite a distance, where night-time driving may be essential. The red-floods, as always, will prove their worth.
And like yourself, I'm ex-military (RAF) and used them In-flight as well as on Terra-firma.
The Falkland Islands was a dark place, freezing too. Red-flood lighting was essential.
