I wish the search feature was working, but it's not so I guess I'll post a new thread.
I participate in Monte Carlo road rallies that require me to read maps and instructions. I just finished the Midnight Run which ran from 7pm to 7am. Yup, the flashaholics dream event. Rally lights on the car, flashlights to light up road signs, and more lights to read the maps and instructions in the car.
I've gotten by with a headlamp and used my friend's homebrew blue LED clipboard. The blue LED's worked okay when the batteries were fresh, but once it got dim the blue was terrible for map reading.
I'm wondering what's your opinion on map light color choice? red? green? stick with standard white? I'm also trying not to blind the driver at the same time so map light color choice is a bit of a compromise.
