This invention relates to the field of general illumination in the crewmember work space of a night-operated vehicle; the desired illumination being compatible with night vision equipment. The present invention provides an improved aircraft cockpit lighting arrangement which of course may also be applied to land vehicles, water craft, surveillance equipment, and other uses where infrared responsive apparatus is threatened with the possibility of locally sourced large signal swamping. The present invention also offers a fast and convenient arrangement for changing the cockpit or vehicle control area lightning in order to accommodate infrared equipment -- an arrangement which can easily be reversed to alternate or normal forms of cockpit lighting when needed. An arrangement for conveniently changing the illumination in an aircraft cockpit or other enclosure to a spectrum compatible with night vision infrared equipment including provision for easy return to the original illumination source. Selected LED(light Emitting Diode) elements are employed in multiple element arrays using a tether connected package that can be excited directly form existing wiring in fixtures.
