    The red light is for looking at something at night, without limiting your eyes' night vision adaptation. If you use a white light at night, and then turn it off you will be mostly blinded for several minutes until your eyes adapt to the dark again. Red light does not cause that effect.

      @C. Caner Telimenli well no the business concept of planned obsolescence didn't become popular until the 50's, and even then many German manufacturers were too proud to adopt it at first. The reason shit made from the dawn of civilization to the 40's lasts is because until very recently it was bad business to make shoddy products.

    23:56 : I could imagine that the red light was used in combination with the "shield" in front of the lamp to read maps etc. as discreetly as possible. Red light has very little energy and it's being used by photographers in their darkrooms (so the image won't be exposed to light) and even by hobby astronomers like myself at night to keep my eyes adapted to the darkness.
    It's amazing to see the process - or one could even say transformation - of refurbishing old hardware to a state of which you could barely distinguish if it's brand new or the rusty thing from the beginning of the video. Keep up with your great content!

      came here hoping to see a comment like this. I served in the military and can confirm we only used red light for map reading at night. the light emitted doesn't travel that far compared to say white light. Downside to using red light however is missing contour lines dependant on the scale of the maps being read, topographical information can sometimes be lost.

      Diamond as a raw material isn't inherently rare nor expensive, they're readily available as in no added processing is needed.
      Jewelry diamonds are expensive because they're artificially priced due to monopolization and due to the added craftsmanship that makes them shine.
      Industrial diamonds sourced are artificially made (very fine) or from scraps diamond-cutters create. Get a bunch of them and stud them into a drill-bit.

It looked like there are 3 different ways pins are in the construct. The electronics and backboard seemed complex and material plenty too. But overall a really nice build. And I like how you painted it too.

    Red filter is used at night & creates a beam which is less visible to both humans (good for preserving natural night vision) & many other species. Red is often used for signalling to aircraft & other vehicles & is very effective in foggy/misty/cloudy conditions. Blue filters are good for fishing & tracking wounded prey due to their ability to illuminate/highlight blood & other bodily fluids, green is good for use in woodland & other predominantly green areas due to green light being less visible to many species..nice work by the way 👏👏😁👍
