I have really good night vision so I am lucky, well lets say I use to getting older has made it a little harder to see with minimal or no light. I have a friend that fishes with me and does not see well at all at night. When we fish together I use my Stan Sloans light with one white bulb on top and black or blue light on bottom. The white really lights up the bank so he can see, but i think it spooks the fish some. You may try that.
