personal cockpit lighting
I have been flying in the dark for a long time and am always looking for ideas on lighting. I have tried a lip light and was not totally satisfied with what it offers. back in the day we made our own finger lights using parts from Radio Shack. For the past several years I have been using a finger light from "FliteLite". They really work great. I put one on my left hand pointer finger and its very easy on and off with my middle finger. (can I say middle finger?) Any way, they are inexpensive (4-8 bucks per) and a -throw away and replace- when the batteries die. I (I guess you could replace the batts but I just throw on a new one once or twice a year.) I believe they turn off after 10 minutes so if you leave one in your pocket and it accidentally gets turned on it won't burn out. Any way, what else is out there and available? Recommendations? I really like this finger light but am always looking for ideas. A simple overhead light built in to the 407 and AStar would be great for paperwork purposes.
