Are there any computers on the market that have illuminated figures? Now the dark evenings are here it makes viewing the display difficult, I know most have a temporary light function but would nice to have one with illuminated digits.

    Get a light for your helmet - gives you added visibility and you can read your computer too. A flashing LED should be enough ? Tesco sell them.

    My Sigma 1600 from about 8 years ago had a backlight but it drew current from the functions of the computer and froze the screen which somewhat defeated the point of the light.
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    I find that backlights are usually pretty poor and only stay on for a few seconds.
    I vaguely remember seeing a basic computer a while ago that had a black background and red/green digits, can't seem to find anything similar now.
