Unlit:http://thescorned.homestead.com/files/dash1.jpgLit:http://thescorned.homestead.com/files/dash2.jpgI prefer flying without the panel light. Helps me see outside better.I've seen in photos that these newer generation panels are flown pretty much in the dark, since the instruments themselves are lighted. They look so pretty. I suppose with the older analog instruments you would need some sort of light in the cockpit.-AV

There are some panels that don't go red (purple) but make an imprecion of light being lit on them (white light), but I think that has to do with BMP how it's made, personally I prefer panels that don't go red (purple) they look nicer.Andy
