Hi everybody. I am currently doing some backlights to my panels but cannot decide which color to choose. Amber or white? I've seen both versions but which one is most common in brown cockpits?

Regards

hi,
the 767 is pretty much Always backlit by incandescent light bulbs (which actually do look like LEDs funnily). These bulbs have a pretty wide spectrum of colors which it emits. LEDs on the other hand, emit only a narrow band. You will therefore never get a 100% match.

However, if you defenitively want to use LEDs which you probably want because of power and heating concerns, I would recommend to use warm white LEDs.

Yep. Warm white looks good. Thanks!
