I do a lot of boating and flying and we use red lights all the time to keep night vision. I went camping/fishing with a buddy who had an 80 series and at one point we misplaced something, we looked with flashlights to no avail then he hit his under carriage lights (which I thought where ghetto when he first showed me) and the area around his truck lit up and we found the pliers. lol.
Couldn't find anything about under truck red lights for ambient light at night (when needed) without destroying night vision. People have talked about red lights for interior, nothing else that I could find in search.
My company is in North Philadelphia, so I've seen the rainbow of colors, mainly blue or violet, that people put under their hooptie. I only am interested in red for it's purpose of retaining night vision. I don't expect to use it very much, only on occasion when needed. All the lights I've scene are really rated for inside though, some "courtesy" lights are red, but would not hold up under a truck.
In reality I don't want to use them, but if I need them, I don't want to destroy the night sky for everyone else in the campground.
Did I miss something in Search? Anyone have any ideas?
