1. An aircraft cockpit reading light comprising:
- a plurality of light-emitting diodes, including a first light-emitting diode and a second light-emitting diode, wherein each of the first and second light-emitting diodes emit light of a different color from the other; and
a switch having a plurality of positions including a first position and a second position, wherein, when the switch is in the first position, the first light-emitting diode is illuminated and the second light-emitting diode is not illuminated, and when the switch is in the second position, the second light-emitting diode is illuminated and the first light-emitting diode is not illuminated.

9. A vehicle interior light comprising:
-
a rotating bezel;
a lens coupled to the bezel;
a plurality of light-emitting diodes disposed such that, when illuminated, light from the light-emitting diodes passes through the lens and is focused thereby, wherein the plurality of light-emitting diodes includes a first light-emitting diode and a second light-emitting diode, wherein each of the first and second light-emitting diodes emit light of a different color from the other; and
a switch coupled to the bezel, wherein when the bezel is rotated to a first position, the switch permits current to flow to the first light-emitting diode, but not to the second light-emitting diode, and when the bezel is rotated to a second position, the switch permits current to flow to the second light-emitting diode, but not to the first light-emitting diode. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A lighting system comprising:
-
an aircraft cockpit;
a reading light disposed within the aircraft cockpit, the reading light comprising;
a rotating bezel;
a lens coupled to the bezel;
a plurality of light-emitting diodes disposed such that, when illuminated, light from the light-emitting diodes passes through the lens and is focused thereby, wherein the plurality of light-emitting diodes includes a first light-emitting diode and a second light-emitting diode, wherein each of the first and second light-emitting diodes emit light of a different color from the other, wherein the second light-emitting diode emits light of a color that inhibits the loss of night vision; and
a switch coupled to the bezel, wherein when the bezel is rotated to a first position, the switch permits current to flow to the first light-emitting diode, but not to the second light-emitting diode, and when the bezel is rotated to a second position, the switch permits current to flow to the second light-emitting diode, but not to the first light-emitting diode. - View Dependent Claims (20)
