Led strip lighting

 I'm putting some led strip lighting under the gunnels of my boat to help aid when I go night fishing. I was wondering if anyone has used red LEDs instead of white? If so how do you find it? Getting a 3m strip for either side.

 

For some reason as I pushed save on my below comment it deleted everything & can't be bothered rewriting what I had written. So long story short, ended up with white led strip lights & that's my new switch panel I put in today... Previously just pulled fuses for switches & had wires everywhere!

Red lights should work better

Red lights should work better because they dont mess up your night vision as much. So you can have more light without ruining your night vision
