The blue lights are pretty bright. I would say they are not good for night vision. I never use them while I'm making way above idle speed.
We only used red lights in the Navy while at sea at nighttime. Tests have shown that the red spectrum effects your night vision less than any other color, so that's all that is used. It can take up to a half hour to get your night vision back when your eyes are exposed to white light at night. That's plenty of time to hit something or someone in the darkness while you're blind.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God)

Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
