Hi Paul, I have been thinking along the same lines. The only difference
is that you are doing something about it. My question is: what color
instrument lighting would be the best? Red, Green or just white?

The human eye is most sensitive to green and would require the least
power.  The white LED's contain a blue emitter which are more power
hungry.

Power does not seem to be a problem here as the white LED's only
need .02 amps per LED. So a typical number of 25 would require
only a 1/2 amp or about six watts. Not much when you consider the
EFI/IGN fuel pumps require about 20 amps.

How does green light affect your night vision?
