EFFECTS OF COCKPIT LIGHTING COLOR ON DARK ADAPTATION.
Abstract
The report is addressed to the general problem area of the effects of color of illumination on early dark adaptation. An analysis of the relevant published literature is presented as it relates to the relative benefits of red cockpit lighting as opposed to white or other colors for night flying. A report of a demonstration which compared the effects of green and white lighting to red lighting on subsequent early dark adaptation is included. An annotated bibliography of the literature reviewed for the report is also presented. A systems approach to cockpit illumination is stressed. (Author)
