Red LED interior lights
Guys,
Anyone tried red LEDs for dash lights? In my friend’s Audi last night and all his interior lighting was red from the factory and looked really cool. Thanks much

I sense that someone is turning to the 'Dark Side' [MOPAR]. Lots of red clusters over there....
But, hey! It's your car and everyone should do what feels right for THEIR ride. Let us know how you like red dials in a C3.

I think all military aircraft use red lighting....supposed to be easier on the eyes for long periods of time.....the main benefit is the cockpit isn't illuminated (think pitch black sky with enemy looking for anything to shoot at once they hear the blade noise).
We used the small red glass bulbs back then/easy on the eyes. (and yes, my gauge bulbs are red)

After I was discharged I worked at McDonnell Douglas Aircraft in Long Beach for 6 1/2 years. All cockpit instrument lights in DC 9's and 10's are red and IMHO they are hard on your eyes. I believe red is supposed to affect your night blindness the least, but I'm not trying to sneak up on the enemy. Therefore I'll take green any day of the week.
