Screen light too bright

[wdee]

I'm running a standard tiny pilot built by Sean. The lights on the Nokia screen are incredibly bright and ruin night vision for the watch keeper. I covered the screen with black tape up to the very edges of the display area and put red transparent plastic over it but it is still way too bright. Blindingly bright when you have been in the dark long enough to develop good night vision.

For the time being, go low-tech with:
Filter Film Cut to Size of Screen

Or something like that!  Having been a navigator in the Navy, I get where your coming from!
