Kevin,
There are LEDs which can be used to highlight the instrument
panel from about 30 inches with excellent clarity (like 3inch circle of
llight each). I have the article by Jim Weir of Kitplanes and can help you
install and understand the principle if needed. Let me know and will forward
the info if you decide.
