Flybridge courtesy lights?

After two plus years of serious rebuild time I am looking at the little items.. such as LED flybridge courtesy lights.. has anybody installed them? I am thinking red/white combination lights.. I have already installed a two circuit on-off-on switch (same as the nav lights/anchor light switch) but I haven't decided on the actual light fixtures themselves.

I would appreciate any suggestions as to flybridge and cockpit lighting in general.. type of fixture, manufacturer, dimmable or not, red only or red/white.. hoping to use only LEDs if possible.

The norm for naval and merchant ships is to have red lights (sometimes even dimmed) for when underway (red light preserves night vision) and white for when in port.

I hope this helps.
