[Elecraft] Headlights with red lighting

[Dave Fugleberg]

Watching this thread with some interest, as I use my K3 to drive
transverters when roving in VHF contests, and it's hard to see the front
panel controls at night. I tried making a light with a bit of aluminum
angle stock and a short strip of white LEDs (the kind that come on a long
roll), but even with a dimmer in line it was too bright.  Maybe if I tried
it with a short strip of red LEDs it would be better.

Kinda reminds me of the red lights we used in the darkroom when developing
film back in the day...
