The cockpit lighting in the 1974 172M that I partner in is really, really
pathetic.  (From my observation of early 70s rental Cessnas, this is not
unusual).  Specifically, there's a switchable white overhead dome light,
hardly ideal for night flight, and a tiny red floodlight that apparently
comes on when you turn on the nav lights.  The best way to describe the
cockpit interior at night is "dark."

Are there any effective, cheap fixes to this situation that are slightly
better than clipping flashlights to my body?

Cheers
Doug
