im actually unconvinced by the whole red/ green nite vision stuff and prefer dimmest possible white .
That should work just fine, as long as:
It is dim enough (only just barely enough for you)
and
the light is shrouded so that no direct light reaches the person you are trying not to be detected by.
Not all lights are dim enough for this, but there are some that are. A dim enough light of any colour should not have much impact on the night adaption of your eyes.
Some lights have a bright flash of light as they turn on before going to the very low output, if you use such a light then it is important that you cover the front of the light when you turn it on.
