[QUOTE="Ranger Rick, post: 2501707, member: 29705"] Doing maintenance at night is less covert because you need to see what you are doing. While depth perception is being increased with each generation of NVGs, it has not been eradicated. As of two years ago, the people who work at a NVG testing lab has no gear that allows increased depth perception and clarity of minute detail in the pipeline. What they have now, may be out in general use by 2010. Currently they are testing is for a less weighty model and longer battery life. Therefore we would need white light to see. That is best done during the day. As for the coolness factor, many of these electronics still generate heat, therefore they are probably in HVAC environments. Lastly, vehicle speed is reduced at night so travel time is greatly increased. It would seem logical that we main tain a normal peacetime schedule of work during the day and sleep at night. But I will change it if my assumptions are wrong. [/QUOTE]
