These screens can have the backlighting pilot adjusted for any light situation. Some EFIS and GPS are not NVMC approved, regardless of how great they look.
My identical model 610 is fitted with a large LED landing light fitted to the nosewheel strut, which is specifically for in circuit / training area visibility. We also have top and bottom fuselage red LED lights for the same reason and for the taxying part of each flight. All lights are ON from go to whoa.
Aircraft definitely had nav lights, I know this for certain because it flew very low right in front of my house as I was trying to explain to him how to turn the lights on.
