LED Chart table light

[Sailingsaves]

I'm a little confused regarding the need for a red light - if it's to reduce loss of night-vision latest research has debunked the theory.
Just goes to show that a geocentric astronomical view sitll has a place in belief.

I'd take that with a pinch of salt everyone (as the saying goes; as opposed to a "spoonful of salt")

Seems to know what he is talking about.

I'm impressed with "3 pages" for you forumites !! Thanks for all the good advice and links.

Check out the Bedazzled site... *** DUAL MODE: NIGHT VISION (RED) plus NORMAL (WHITE) ***

http://www.bedazzled.uk.com/12v_LED_Bulb_Replacement.htm

and search down the page until you come to G4H-16L-RPROTECTED and G4H-15L-RPROTECTED.

About £12 each and what is great that when you first turn them on they switch on as red yet with a brief switch off and on again, they then light as white.

Thanks for that!

I have put one of these into my original (only red) chart light. It's one those:

It was a bit fiddly to solder the LED into the light and glue it into place, but now I have a red/white chart light

Here is the solution I have, LED switchable from white to red ( they are standard on the new Hanse`s):

I have one of these off ebay but mine was cheaper from a different supplier who now seems not to have them
