eli5: Why do submarine/ships/helicopters switch to red light under stealth mode ?

458 views

Haven’t seen in real life but nearly all movies show switching to red light under stealth mode (of course also during emergency mode). Shouldn;t red light be visible from a long distance ?

It’s not really for stealth, it’s for night vision. Red lights don’t blind you like white lights do.
