Light Aircraft Association

I need a new compass for an aircraft and have looked at the vertical card type from LAS and others. They come with a lead and they say uses 14v for internal lighting. Well, my plane has no 'lectrics...am I right in assuming the compass will still be useable and visible even though the internal light is not illuminated?

Yes, as long as it is not dark

This UK company does a range of light aircraft compasses and some models aren't lit at all:

For what its worth, I have had very good long term experience with the Sirs panel mount compass
