Light Temperature and dimmed light request
I have no idea how modding works, but could someone make a Mod to change the light temperature inside the boat? Vanilla and some mods still remain the nuclear LED cold light inside the Sub, yet old Lightbulbs have a warmer yellow light even when tinted with colored glass.

And even when some people hate Silent Hunter 5, the inside of the boat always felt right.

The human eye has a way to balance out light, so white things appear white despite them being illuminated by light of different spectra.
Trimming down the white balance for inside scenes would undoubtedly cause issues for everyone due to the way you can rapidly switch between inside and outside. One moment the inside appears reddish, the next you look out and everything is blue. Your eyes can't adjust so quickly so everything always appears off, perpetually tinted: This can also cause fatigue.
The lights in the boat were standard incandescent bulbs, normally at 2700K. What's so special about being in a room with normal indoors lighting that this requires special treatment in a sim?
I don't think this is an idea that should be investigated, and not a mod I would subscribe to if it were available.

I do not agree here ;) the interior light is too blueish and too bright. The op is right on this. I also asked sqparadox if he doesnt want to edit the light color a bit, but he said its not done fast. And the interior lighting is far from the original setup. Wrongly placed bulbs, far too few bulbs, etc.

You say bluish, that tells me that your screen isn't calibrated to 6500K instead it must be higher

I mean theres too much blue in the lightcolor :D so its a cold white light.

You can see this, when you are using the realistic lights mod. The bulbs become orange, but the light itself is just weaker instead of being more yellow/orange. This results in white light coming out of orange bulbs...
