Default Dimming compass, stereo etc on Sea Ray boat



The "Age Old Solution" to your problem is to change the Lights to
RED colored Light Souces, which will illuminate the instruments,
but not effect your Night Vision. This is what happens when
Designers, design products for a Markket they havee no experience or
understanding of. Blue Light is the absolute Worst color for Night
Vision type operations.

By the way, the "red light" solution is more myth than fact. For a
scientific discussion of this, see: http://stlplaces.com/night_vision.html
Actually dimming white light works better.
