After 6 years of having my pilot's license and having a night flight restriction due to color blindness, I am finally night qualified! I broke down and went and did the light gun signal test with my local FSDO and much to my surprise I passed. I would encourage anyone to do it. I cannot identify any of the Ishihara plates, but I had no problem with the lights.
That being said, although my RV is equipped for night flight with lighting, my interior lighting is a little lacking. I would like to add some interior lights, mostly for loading / unloading in the dark, and lighting for the baggage area. I would like to put my interior lights on my battery buss and I would like a timer on them so if my braindead self forgets to shut them off I won't kill my battery. Any ideas on a simple timer device I can install that can handle about 5-6 amps, 12VDC?
Thanks in advance!
