Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

If you desire red plastic is readily available and it does work.
Many colors including red, these are a photographic “thing” I believe and most likely the right color of red, if red is what you...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

I learned that on my B&G pushing the power button a couple times takes it to full bright with the intensity slider on the screen.
So far as the toilet, get ones of these for less than $10. They...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

I don’t believe any branch of the US Military uses red light anymore, especially after finding that data I found on US Subs going to white light 20 years ago. Read that link, it quotes dozens if not...

Why? They almost never, ever use visual sight do they?

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

I’m going to go out on a limb and bet that he was not on instruments and the lights were blue / green.
At the beginning of NVG flying we would take critical instruments and fold down the hood that...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

The biggest reason that blue / green light has caught on so much is that it is the color that night vision intensifiers are least sensitive to, so it doesn’t blind goggles as easy as red or white, it...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

There is nothing wrong with red light, the only issue is many think it’s OK to have bright red lighting, because red light is OK.
To start with “pure” red light is difficult to get, as is pure any...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

I don’t think it’s different, if I understand color blindness it’s not that the cones don’t work it’s that they can’t differentiate color, so the Rhodopsin will still be bleached out with bright...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

TC-1-204 is the Army night flying handbook and covers physiological aspects and covers pretty much everything we are talking about here, without getting too technical. If your interested it’s worth...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

Red light really does “work” that’s not a myth, what’s a myth is the thought that I can have bright red lights, it’s OK because they are red.
So if you want red that’s fine, nothing wrong with it,...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

With only one eye to see with, you lose depth perception. You can be trained to deal with that, anyone that flies an AH-64 goes through training so that they can.

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

Maps are very often the same, most anything dangerous is written in red, and all the danger notes disappear when lit with red light.

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

Ones built in the 1970’s and earlier did. No newer aircraft that I know of does. Red light is a very persuasive idea and apparently still persists, but way too many studies have been done that have...

Re: Red light at night is a MYTH?!??!

Dimming the lights over time as you night adapt so that your only using the min light level necessary trumps any color, there really has been a lot of research on this subject, particularly since the...
