 What color interior lights are y'all running?Looking at adding some interior lights to my boat and was wondering what color y'all run? I had white and blue in my last boat, and they were both hard on my night vision. I was thinking red or green. I think I'm going to go with the SeeLite double trouble lights.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? I'm installing green as we speak I got them from academy- the 8 strip waterproof LEDs. One under front deck and one under rear deck/casting platform.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? Thanks guys. I wasn't sure of green would screw with your eyes or not. I will go with the green.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? Ive got green seems to work for me. Doesn't bother your vision at all. Use em all the time after dark. Got em in my half box too. Damn nice not having to use your head lamp light all the time.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? Yea I'm thinking about mounting a 4' section towards the bottom of my rear bench and a 1.5' in my gun box and one back by my tank. Maybe put those on separate switches- not sure though.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? I like the blue. Just enough to illuminate the floor but not enough to blind you while running.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? Red is the best for your night vision. That what we use on all our boats in the coast guard for at night.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? I asked this same question a while back and even run a poll. The reds won but I went and looked at a boat with red under catwalks and also looked at a boat with green. I liked the green better so that's what I went with. 15 bucks from amazon.

Re: What color interior lights are y'all running? That green looks good in that boat. Yea USCG, I know that the military uses red and black in there ships( I work for Ingalls Shipbuilding) I know the Navy runs black lights in the bridge while under way, but that doesn't give enough light off for me. Thanks for the pics and info guys. I will post up some pics when I get mine done.
