Interesting thread. I think I'll be sure to
bring my forehead mounted trilight: It has red LED's for preserving night
vision. A little off the cuff but this thread got me
thinking.
> Ray, > > I am planning on using LED lighting throughout
my sub's interior. You can purchase ones that are very powerful but only draw
very little current. And because LED's are tough as nails there is little or no
chance of them getting damaged or burning out from vibration, getting wet or
such. > > There are super bright LED's now that produce 16K candle
power, run on only 3.4 V and draw about 200 mA a piece. I've already built a
separate little regulated power supply to run them for my project. >
> Also, I am planning to have all of my switches and gauges LED lit to
insure that I can see them in total darkness. > > John >
