DASH with external lighting

[pnanassy]

Hi,

anyone used a non-backlit dash in dark conditions with external lighting?
Will that be usable?

Thank you,Peter

I have seen a race team use a normal dashboard globe on the steering column with a carbon fibre shroud buit around it to direct the light only over the display.

Should have worked ok, but didnt see it in use.

Ive seen this before, and in a rally car of all things. I saw it when it was dark on a night stage, with white LED`s shining on its face. I really think spend the extra bucks and get yourself a backlit display.

The LEDS tend to have bright spots on the display and you get reflected light off the glass.
