I See Red! Red Light Illumination in Helicopter Air Ambulance Services

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › Academic › peer-review

Abstract

Helicopter air ambulance services (HAA) increasingly operate during darkness, and the cockpit crew prefers a dimmed light to be used in the cabin. Our HAA team is currently researching the use of dimmed red light. We encountered a downside to the use of red light-some texts and symbols became virtually invisible.
