Is there a wideband gauge that doesn't light up like a chrstams tree?

Default Is there a wideband gauge that doesn't light up like a chrstams tree?

All the wide band gauges I see out there in the round style all seem to have lights in different colors around the outside of the gauge in various different colors. And while this might look fancy to some, it purely annoys the hell out of me.

Does anyone know of any round traditional style wide band O2 gauges that DON'T light up around the outside? I just want something round that gives me a good wideband reading, but isn't distracting.

Innovate LC-1 with the digital gauge. I have the red one, it works well. Not overly bright or annoying.

Why not just get an analog style gauge? I'm not one to put something digital in my car, when there isn't another digital style gauge.

Here's what I'm planning on going with.

That one is pretty cool. The only problem I would have with it is that I would have to look very closely to it while using it, as where I want to be (11.5) is very close to where things would get dangerous (12.0). That is a very small difference on that gauge to be trying to pinpoint while in the throttle.

See posts 2 and 3. (Already mentioned)

But thanks. I am leaning towards that one.

Okay, I doubt I'll get this lucky, but I'll ask; has anyone seen a wideband that fits the criteria I listed previously AND has a means to set some kind of alert or warning at a certain wideband O2 reading?

I've got a electrical boost gauge that alerts at a certain boost level, and it would be very handy to have for a wide band gauge.
