Simple Night Light Mod

I recently ran across a brilliant idea from someone on this forum for a night light. They were using a Red LED. I thought that was a brilliant idea as Red does not tend to be as bright or throw shadows like white bulbs.
What I needed:
- 1 LED SMD 42 921 bulb in red (couple of dollars from eBay)

Since I have a 21' Hybrid, all I needed was one bulb in a central location and it gives off enough light to cover the entire trailer so I choose the Fume Hood for the stove.

I would have done a night shot but all you would have seen was black.

red and yellow actually throw off your night vision... your eyes try to engage the color receptors or something like that.

blue on the other hand does not

downside to blue, it can interfere with your circadian rhythm

We ended up with using the flicker LED lights that simulate candles for night lights. They come in all different sizes and run a long time on batteries.

Most come with automatic turn on at night.






Very cozy looking
